KSI vs Tommy Fury: From exhibition to professional
In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated boxing match between KSI and Tommy Fury, set to take place on October 14 in Manchester, is now being listed as a professional fight. Initially advertised as an exhibition bout, following the format of KSI's previous five fights, this sudden rule change has caught fans off guard. Boxrec, the official record keeper for professional boxing, updated their listing to reflect the new status of the match. KSI himself couldn't resist laughing at fans' reaction to the unexpected development.
The stakes are high for both fighters
For KSI, this fight holds a significant weight as he has vowed to end Tommy Fury's career. A victory for KSI would mark a first professional loss for the former Love Island star, setting him back in his boxing ambitions. However, it is important to note that the British Boxing Board of Control has yet to officially sanction the six-round match-up as a professional fight.
KSI vs Fury: Contrasting boxing backgrounds
At 30 years old, KSI has only had one professional bout under his belt, which took place in November 2019 against Logan Paul. He emerged victorious in that match, winning via split decision. On the other hand, Tommy Fury has an undefeated record of nine professional fights, with his most recent victory being against Jake Paul, via points, back in February. Leading up to the fight, Fury has boldly declared himself the "caped crusader" of YouTube boxing, adamant in his mission to put an end to the trend. He believes people want to see these internet personalities knocked out.
A stacked undercard: Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis
Adding to the excitement of the main event, another prominent YouTuber, Logan Paul, will be facing Dillon Danis on the undercard of KSI vs Fury. This match-up is sure to attract attention, as Logan Paul seeks to make his mark in the world of professional boxing.
