KSI said in an interview to Misfits Boxing that the deal for this fight was almost done. Fury’s father John Fury also confirmed that this fight is almost complete and that KSI had already started training for an eight rounds bout. Later on June 30, KSI revealed that the bout was in danger as Fury was asking for a change of contracted weight from 180 lbs to 185 lbs.
KSI had given Fury a deadline of Monday, July 3, to sign the contract. By the evening of July 3, the news came out that both fighters have now agreed on terms and an announcement was shortly due. The fight was ultimately confirmed at the start of August.
Tommy Fury would be the second most experienced boxer in a row that KSI would be facing, but the first real threat to his unbeaten record. Fury has recently handed Jake Paul his first career defeat, and he would look to do the same to KSI also. Fury holds a 9-0 record in professional boxing while he also has one exhibition appearance.
