After Tommy Fury took down \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 Jake Paul earlier this year, KSI has been itching to get into the ring with the reality TV star and professional boxer. Finally, the two are set to go blow for blow on October 14 as the co-main event on the anticipated \u2018Prime Card\u2019 \u2014 expected to be the biggest influencer boxing event we\u2019ve seen, where Logan Paul will touch gloves with Dillon Danis on the same night. Ahead of the bout, former cruiserweight boxing world champion Tony Bellew has revealed his predictions, where he claims KSI will be Fury\u2019s most difficult fight yet. Tony Bellew says KSI will be Tommy Fury\u2019s toughest fight \u201cI think Logan Paul beats Dillon Danis,\u201d Bellew said in a recent interview, before the former cruiserweight champion explained who he thinks will come out on top between KSI and Fury. While Bellew is backing Tommy to win the fight, the boxer said that KSI will be Fury\u2019s toughest challenge yet. \u201cYou know what, Tommy should win, but I think this will be the hardest fight of his career,\u201d he said. \u201cJJ has something about him where he will just let his hands go. Whereas was it Jake Paul who fought Tommy Fury? Jake Paul wouldn\u2019t let his hands go. He was a bit nervous and a bit apprehensive and scared.\u201d He added: \u201cI think JJ, KSI, will let his hands go. So while I\u2019m predicting a win for Fury, it\u2019s not with any real certainty.\u201d Ahead of the bout, KSI claims he\u2019ll do what his rival Jake Paul couldn\u2019t do and KO Fury.
