KSI reluctantly admitted that he thinks Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury when they eventually square off in the ring. The British YouTube star believes Paul is more dedicated to the sport and so will beat Fury – whom KSI claims hasn’t been tested yet.
Paul and Fury have been scheduled to face each other twice to no avail. Ahead of their inaugural encounter in December 2021, Fury pulled out with a broken rib sustained in camp. Then, eight months later their bout agreement was terminated after TNT was denied entry to the United States – where the fight was scheduled to take place.
Paul recently sent Fury a seven-figure contract for a third attempt at making the fight but after things went quiet on social media many speculated that the showdown would never happen. That was until Fury’s promoter Frank Warren came out and confirmed that negotiations are still ongoing and that early signs are positive.
When asked what was going on with Fury vs Paul, he told Queensberry’s YouTube channel: “Everyone’s trying to make this fight happen. I mean we had it, it was made a few months ago but he wasn’t allowed to travel, Tommy.
“I think, I hate to say it, I think Jake will win it,” KSI said at yesterday’s press conference for his January 14 bout with Dillon Danis. “I think Tommy hasn’t really been tested – he’s been tested a few times chin-wise and he has been a bit wobbly.
“And I just think Jake has just dedicated more time to the training compared to Tommy. I think Tommy just does the boxing because it’s the thing to do in his family. But I don’t think he’s as dedicated as someone like Tyson or his other brothers. So, I think Jake will win that, as much as I hate to say it.”
