KSI is brutal as he delivers knock out blow to Tommy Fury

by

He recently said he would like to fight Donald Trump in the boxing ring.

But KSI has snubbed a more er, realistic, challenger – boxer Tommy Fury.

In a new interview the YouTube sensation, 26, has responded to 20-year old Tommy’s recent challenge following his intense win against fellow YouTube personality, American Logan Paul, in LA last month.

Having watched the fierce fight, Love Island contestant Tommy then threw his hat into the ring.

‘You know, I’m a fighting man, I’m no amateur,’ he said. ‘We’re both from the influencer background, he’s from the YouTube side, I’m from the Love Island/reality TV side. Let’s get it on.’

‘If he wants a real fight, he knows where I am,’ Tommy added.

But KSI, who was the underdog in his fight with Logan, believes he’s now too good for Tommy.

‘If I’m honest, not really,’ he told Fault magazine. ‘He needs me more than I need him, like way more.’

‘I’m on a completely different level to him. If he wants a fight he can fight one of my coaches, Viddal Riley, but he won’t though because Viddal would f**k him up,’ added KSI.

He went on to add that he would rather fight ‘rappers’ and ‘other celebrities’ but declined to say which ones exactly.

Last month he put his recent win down to beating fear: ‘KSI last time was scared, I was scared to fight, I was scared to touch him…this time I went in, I just kept going,’ he said.

‘They saw how much bigger [Logan] was, they saw his physique…I said “Screw that, I’m going to work my ass off.”‘

KSI, whose real name is Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji, has beaten the odds after even his trainer said he was ‘not a real fighter’.

In the other camp, Tommy is yet to fight since finishing runner-up in the ITV show this summer with girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague. He is scheduled to box on 21 December but it is not yet known who his opponent will be.

Tommy will soon hit screens in a new TV show where he will swap lives with fellow Love Islander Curtis Pritchard.

That sounds much more our cup of tea.
