Tommy Fury puts his boxing career on the line tonight in his hometown of Manchester as he takes on YouTube star KSI in a massive crossover clash.
The Love Island star is 9-0 as a professional boxer, but has decided to head down the route of fighting influencer boxing's biggest names such as KSI and the Paul brothers. Jake Paul is the consensus No.1 in the space, but couldn't get through Fury back in February as the Brit took a split decision in Saudi Arabia.
And as such, KSI has decided to take on a monstrous challenge against the brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson; his first legitimate test since returning to the ring in August of last year. The event will be a massive showcase, with ten other star-studded undercard bouts. Here's all you know about Tommy Fury and KSI's fight...

Fury has a massive size and experience advantage, but it is believed that KSI could take him to deep waters with his power.

KSI : "October 14 you're going to see KSI, the nightmare, destroy and annihilate the bastard child Tommy Fury... I truly believe I can knock him out, I truly believe I'll be able to get my timing on him and just sleep him. Bro, my power ain't like Jake it's more."
Fury : "There's no threat, with a man like KSI it's not what he does it's what I do. What he does just doesn't come into play because this fight goes however I want it to. I'll dictate the pace in there, I'm the bigger, stronger man, you know this guy will be lucky to make it out of two rounds with the way I've prepared."
