Tommy Fury’s Stance on Fighting KSI: ‘I want to be remembered by history’
Tommy Fury is not interested in fighting KSI, despite KSI’s recent interest in facing him. Fury has stated that he will only fight Jake Paul, who is his rival. He plans to go down the professional route after facing ‘The Problem Child’ in a fight that will take place on February 26th in Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with Rob Moore, Fury said, “I made it very clear that Jake Paul is the only man I would ever fight. I want to fight legitimate fighters, win titles, and be remembered by history. Fighting Jake Paul doesn’t do that, he’s a man who thinks he can make some money from boxing and see what happens.”
