Tommy Fury vows to end YouTuber boxing, while KSI looks to keep the party going. Who will leave the Manchester Arena with the ultimate bragging rights on October 14? The world will soon figure it out as the fight airs on DAZN PPV.
KSI is coming off a no-contest against Joe Fournier after a win got overturned due to an elbow strike. While still a novice in boxing, KSI has impressed with wins against FaZe Temperrr and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda. The latter was an attempt to prove he can hang with a legitimate boxer. A win against Fury could shut down any doubters.
Being a massive underdog doesn't seem to bother KSI. The MF & DAZN: X Series leader believes when his back is against the wall, it makes him dangerous.
"Everything is against me, but I thrive being the underdog," KSI toldVIDDALviaMirror. "The amount of videos I've watched of people saying I've got no chance, I keep watching them. I'm a sicko, I'm just like there, 'Cool, I've got your name and your name.' After, I can't wait to make a video about all the people who said I couldn’t."
