Two undefeated boxers will come face to face in a few hours in the AO Arena, Manchester. It will be KSI’s sixth professional fight against Tommy Fury, who has a 9-0 boxing record. However, before that happens, KSI’s former trainer and pro boxer Viddal Riley has given his prediction for the upcoming fight between Tommy and KSI.
KSI and Viddal initially collaborated for KSI’s early foray into the influencer boxing scene. Viddal trained KSI for his fight against Joe Weller and KSI’s fight against Logan Paul. The pair parted ways because Viddal had to focus on his own boxing career. However, the Brit has kept up with KSI’s fight against Fury. In his recent YouTube video, Viddal detailed his prediction for the much-anticipated fight tonight.

While talking about the fight, Viddal voiced his support for his friend and fellow boxer, KSI. “I am backing the boy. I am saying JJ to pull some miracle out of the back,” said Viddal. Justifying his prediction, Viddal stated, “Man’s not having it because the energy has changed from that face-off in the first press conference to this week.”
Later in the video, Viddal redirected his attention to Tommy Fury, “Tommy he is seeming more angry and riled up, but I don’t believe it.” Viddal then reiterated his prediction, “JJ, I know him. So I can see it. And I can think, you know what, you are in the mood to pull off a miracle.” Ultimately, Viddal settled on KSI as the winner and described how KSI would win the fight. “So, I am back with JJ to win by KO,” Viddal said in the video.
