KSI to snub bitter rival Jake Paul and instead target Tommy Fury fight

KSI could snub a grudge meeting with YouTube rival Jake Paul to instead pursue his conqueror Tommy Fury.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - has made a successful return to the ring having defeated Luis Pineda, Swarmz and FaZe Temperrr with the sole ambition of settling his rivalry with Paul. However the possibility of a mega-fight appeared to dampen slightly with Paul suffering his first professional defeat against Fury in Saudi Arabia last month.

KSI had already suggested prior to the bout that he would be open to instead facing the ex-Love Island star if he was to progress beyond Paul. And in the most public display of his intentions yet, KSI tweeted: "At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury. Jake Paul is being long with negotiations."
