Top boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has warned KSI to avoid a fight with Tommy Fury in order to make a deal with Jake Paul later this year.
The Matchroom Boxing boss, who handed professional debuts to both KSI and Paul after watching them compete in white collar boxing, believes that Fury may be a bridge too far for the YouTube star. But he is still keen to see him face his long-time rival later this year, insisting that it is the better fight.
Hearn's promotion share a broadcaster with KSI's Misfits Boxing in DAZN, and will also welcome Paul back to the platform when he faces Nate Diaz in a pay-per-view fight this August. And he is a fan of the influencer space, despite insisting that it be placed somewhere away from legitimate boxing.
