KSI explains why he didn't confront boxing rivals Jake Paul or Tommy Fury

KSI has explained he wanted to avoid a row with Jake Paul and Tommy Fury last weekend to ensure the spotlight remained on his brother Deji's fight with Floyd Mayweather.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - flew out to Dubai to support his brother Deji who was stopped by the boxing legend in an exhibition bout. There was high anticipation for the event with KSI's bitter rival Paul also in attendance as a special guest commentator for Fury's event.

Fury took on Rolly Lambert in the co-main event, and the British star confronted Paul after his underwhelming performance. KSI opted to stay away from his potential ring rivals, with his only confrontation coming with Tyron Woodley, despite their fight now appearing dead in the water.
