Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury wants to see his brother Tommy fight either Logan Paul and KSI after his grudge fight with Jake Paul.
Love Island star Fury has pulled out of two previous meetings against Paul and is now scheduled to fight him for the third time on February 26 in Saudi Arabia. Fury, who is unbeaten in eight professional fights, is scheduled in an eight-round fight for the first time in his career as the rivals meet at 185lb.
Fury was asked if he wants to see his brother go back down the professional boxing route after fighting Paul, but he instead suggested potential fights with YouTubers Logan and KSI. "When he beats Jake Paul, I'd like to see him fight the brother Logan and then if not Logan maybe a British celebrity like KSI. I was going say the other guy then, but he's a bit smaller," Fury told iFL TV.

Paul is expected to fight bitter rival KSI later this year if he can get past Fury next month, but the Brit has stated he will instead pursue a fight against Fury if he comes out on top. 'The Gypsy King' doesn't think either Paul or Fury will end the fight in one punch, expecting his brother to win the fight in the later rounds.
"I don't think it's going to be like a one punch kind of job, I think Tommy can wear him out and stick it on him in the later rounds. As soon as Tommy hits him with some hard punches, I want to see what Jake Paul's made of. When Tommy hits me with hard punches, it's hurt me. I know he ain't as tough or as big as me, so he's definitely going to be feeling pain and a lot of it," Fury added.
Both Fury and Paul were in attendance for Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde in London on Saturday night and they had to be separated whilst facing off in the ring to promote their fight. Fury wants to see a slugfest between the pair and insists both men will have to back up their trash talk.
"I'm glad this fight has been made, it's been going on for about two years on. When you talk a lot, you've got to back it up. Tommy and Jake have both talked a lot, so they need to deliver now and give a good fight. They're not like some bad*** slick boxers, they are two novices with fame and popularity, so they should go in there and have a slugfest," he added.
