UFC star Jorge Masvidal doubts KSI would accept fight if Tommy Fury pulls out

Jorge Masvidal would be willing to step in for Tommy Fury if his planned bout with KSI doesn't take place, but fears the YouTuber wouldn't accept.

The former UFC welterweight hung up the gloves earlier this year after suffering his fourth successive defeat since a fighter-of-the-year showing over three outings in 2019 that earned him two world title opportunities. He was held to a decision defeat against Kamaru Usman on short notice in 2020 before being knocked out in their rematch and losing to Colby Covington and Gilbert Burns.

But he wouldn't be opposed to making his boxing debut at the age of 38 if KSI can't get a deal over the line with fellow Brit later this year. Masvidal has his own boxing company Gamebred Promotions, and has previously put on a pay-per-view show headlined by Roy Jones Jr and Anthony Pettis.
