The stage is set, and fans are buzzing. YouTuber KSI is getting ready to fight pro boxer Tommy Fury. He first wanted to fight Jake Paul, known as “the Problem Child.” A weight-limit disagreement changed his focus to Fury. Earlier this year, Fury beat Paul in a match. Now, KSI aims to outdo his rival by beating Fury. KSI and Tommy Fury will fight on October 14th in Manchester, England. Both casual fans and combat sports enthusiasts are paying attention to this bout.
Moreover, they are fighting on the same day as Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. Both KSI and Tommy Fury are training and sparring hard, but some fans have doubts. A few days ago, a video was posted on Twitter, it was KSI’s sparring session for his fight with Tommy Fury. However, fans didn’t like what they saw. Now, again, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has attempted to impress fans with his power. But it looks like all his efforts still can’t get boxing aficionados lauding his fighting acumen. This is because fans have slammed another recent video of KSI training.

Initially, one fan points out that the performance is sloppy and suggests that more technical training is needed rather than just relying on powerful punches.
It’s a bit sloppy I’m ngl but he needs more technical training instead of just power punching it through

Echoing this sentiment, another fan notes the “impressive power,” but implies that it’s not enough as it’s just “randomly throwing hands.”
Randomly throwing hands — “impressive power” 😂😭

Meanwhile, a third fan is skeptical, stating that the boxer will still get “rocked by Fury.”
Still gonna get rocked by Fury

Another fan argues that it’s hard to accurately assess power from a video alone, emphasizing that the true test will be in the ring against Fury.
It's difficult to gauge power from a video.
We'll need to see him in the ring against Fury🥊— Brownie Bull (@MeBull4ox) October 2, 2023
Then, a follower with boxing experience chimes in, stating that looking good on the pads doesn’t necessarily translate to real-world performance. They challenge the boxer to show his skills in the eighth round of sparring, questioning whether he has truly been “to the trenches.”

Anyone who has actually boxed will back me up on this.
You can look like Mike Tyson on the pads but turn into an absolute lemon in the ring.
Pads don’t mean anything, show me sparring on round 8, we’ll see if KSI has been to the trenches then

Fans are questioning KSI’s readiness once again, criticizing his training videos. Despite his power, fans say he lacks technical skill. But the real test awaits in the ring. Both fighters and fans are on edge as the match approaches.
