KSI and Tommy Fury will settle their rivalry in Manchester in October after months of trash talking.
The contest will be for the Misfits cruiserweight title currently held by KSI after he retained his title by beating FaZe Temper in January. Fury, meanwhile, extended his record to 9-0-0 with a win against Jake Paul in February, with the 24-year-old forging an unbeaten start to his professional boxing career.
Boxing is Fury's full-time profession, with fame arising from an appearance on Love Island in 2019 and through his family of famous fighters including heavyweight world champion brother, Tyson. He is a top-40 ranked cruiserweight with the WBC, with his win against Paul in February earning the ranking.
KSI, meanwhile, has a series of professional bouts to his name, but has only fought against one full-fledged boxer in the form of Luis Alcaraz Pineda. Facing Fury, who has sealed knockout wins against fellow professionals from an early age is an entirely different prospect, however, and the British Youtuber is unlikely to emerge victorious.
Also on the card will be KSI's business partner Logan Paul, who faces Dillon Danis as the co-main event in the only other fight which has been announced so far for the card. There is no doubt that a range of famous faces will be joining them on what is set to be the biggest Misfits card to date. Here is everything you need to know...

KSI: “I came back to boxing to show the world the crazy levels I’m at. I’ve shown through obliterating all my past opponents that I am the best in this scene. KO after KO has now led me to the toughest fight in the influencer boxing scene. I’m fighting Tommy Fury. The man that defeated the once undefeated Jake Paul is now my opponent and I can’t wait to silence all the doubters that believe I have no chance. After this fight, you’ll understand that I truly am that guy.”
Tommy Fury: “I’ve already beaten Jake Paul and so all that is left for me to do is send this man to sleep. I’ll do that inside four rounds. This is easy money.”
Logan Paul said: “Almost two years after fighting the greatest boxer of all time, I am so pumped to return to the boxing ring on October 14, for this monster Misfits show. Manchester, I hope you are ready for a night you will never forget, because The Prime Card is delivering in a big way, with KSI and I on either side of a double main event. The world has seen the energy, athleticism and showmanship I've brought to WWE, but this October I plan on reminding everyone that I can bring it to boxing too."
Dillon Danis: "I couldn't care less what Logan Paul has done in the WWE, because when he is in the boxing ring, he is in a completely different world. It's a world of pain, a world where he doesn't have control and it's my world, not his. On October 14, in Manchester, Logan Paul is getting beat down.”
