Tommy Fury has made his stance clear on a potential fight with KSI.
The boxer was last in the ring against Jake Paul in February, surviving a late knockdown to earn a decision win in Saudi Arabia and improve his professional record to 9-0. The path looked to have been cleared for the Love Island star to face KSI after Paul opted against activating his rematch clause in order to arrange a fight with former UFC star Nate Diaz.
Fury faced off with KSI in May after the head of Misfits boxing’s controversial fight with Joe Fournier, which ended due to an accidental elbow strike. However, ‘TNT’ has responded to the YouTube boxing star after he demanded that Fury weigh in at 185lbs on the morning of their proposed fight and threatened to wait for his rematch with Jake Paul.

"Just a few things to clear up; KSI's only just agreed to do drug testing for this fight. Took his time with that one. And now he's complaining about the weight. This fight's at 185, take it or leave it," Fury said.
"I know you're a midget and you're worrying about the weight but get some more food down you and you'll get there. If you just don't want to fight, I know somebody who will fight in October, somebody who is ready to fight and will get to 185. Jake Paul, if you want to run it back, let's do it, fine by me. I'll knock you spark out this time. So let me know boys."
Jake Paul is currently scheduled to face MMA star Daiz, who is making his boxing debut, on August 5 in Dallas, Texas.
