Tommy Fury has outrageously claimed that he would get "stuck into" Deontay Wilder if the pair were to get into an altercation during his face off with KSI.
The Love Island star is 9-0 as a professional boxer, but has never fought anyone near the level of a former world heavyweight champion like Wilder. He is due to fight YouTube star KSI next week at the AO Arena in Manchester; his second social media influencer this year after beating Jake Paul in February.
And while trash talking with his rival, he brought up an altercation that happened in 2018 between KSI and a member of the public outside a restaurant in California. Footage emerged of a man attacking the YouTuber, and Fury believes that he should have stood his ground instead of retreating.
“I didn’t want to bring this up but I seen you s*** yourself at In-N-Out Burger in America," Fury joked. "The guy put it on you for a fight and whether you can fight or not you get stuck in.” KSI was clearly irked by the story, replying quickly by asking “I still got stuck in, did I run?”
Fury responded by noting that “Yes, up and down the car park, you was like this [running], someone had to fish him back to life." When KSI commented that it was in his early days of boxing, his rival made the wild claim that he would have fought back in that situation, even if he couldn't box and was being chased by Wilder.

What do you make of Tommy Fury's Deontay Wilder claims? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
“The difference is if I didn’t know how to fight and someone stuck it on me, they’d be getting stuck into," Fury continued. "Even if I couldn’t box, never fought before in my life, if someone puts it on me they’re getting set about. 100 per cent, that’s the difference in a fighter.
"I don’t worry for nobody. If Deontay Wilder walked in this room right now and he had a problem with me, let’s go. Because that’s the type of man I am.” When KSI made the obvious point that "he would knock you out", Fury responded: “It doesn’t matter about that, it matters what you’ve got in you whether you’ve got a set of balls or not.”
