KSI vs Tommy Fury fight predictions including Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul
KSI will walk to the ring as the heavy underdog against Tommy Fury with few outside his team believing he can upset the odds in Manchester.
The YouTuber is yet to lose in the boxing ring but is taking a considerable step up in opposition having previously beaten Joe Weller, Logan Paul, Luis Pineda, Swarmz, FaZe Temperrr and Joe Fournier. He will be attempting to go one better than great rival Jake Paul who was outpointed by Fury earlier this year.
Fury, meanwhile, has parked his professional ambitions to turn his attention to the influencer scene and is raking in millions by doing so. He will fancy his chances of disposing of KSI within the six-round distance. Here, some of boxing's biggest names give their verdicts on the fight...
Jake Paul
"'I think he's going to get knocked out by Tommy in less than five rounds. I mean [KSI] is doing these gimmick WWE fights up until now. Tommy is his first real test, but who knows, he might throw an elbow on Tommy, too."
David Haye
“I think KSI beats him. Everybody just believes Tommy's so much better. The best name on his record is Jake Paul, and that was a close fight in which he got knocked down. So it's not like he has this depth of experience. I think everybody's overrating Tommy and very much underrating KSI, and that gives KSI a massive advantage. I believe it's gonna be a big shock.”

Amir Khan
"I’ve got Fury winning, but I know KSI really well, we did an interview together, but look, the way he’s been looking and the way he’s been knocking people out, throwing them punches well, he’s not a bad fighter, is KSI. Fury’s faced good names and knocked him out, but I think with KSI, I think he has a little more than the opponents he’s fought before. No one ever thinks a YouTuber is going to beat a professional fighter. Let’s hope that never, ever happens. Being a fighter myself because I think it’s embarrassing for boxing, in that weight division, one punch will always change a fight."
Tyson Fury
"It's a good matchup. They're both quite popular. KSI's no pushover for sure. I obviously think my brother will win. My father always said to me go against your family for a stranger. So even if I thought KSI would win I'd still say Tommy because I'd never sell my family out."
Anthony Joshua
"It's a real 50/50 fight. I would sway towards KSI, but then if I value experience, I think Tommy should pull it off because he's coming from a fighting family, but KSI's been banging people out though. He beat Logan Paul who's big and strong, went the rounds with Mayweather as well Logan did. It's a real 50/50 fight, for this one I'm sitting on the fence."
Tony Bellew
"I think this will be the hardest fight of his career because JJ (KSI) has something about him where he will just let his hands go. Jake Paul wouldn't let his hands go but I think KSI will. So while I'm predicting a win for Tommy Fury, it's not with any real certainty. It's only a six-round fight, so I think they might both just let their hands go."
