KSI drops hint at Tommy Fury fight date as he claims Jake Paul won\u2019t fight him YouTube: MMA Fighting\/Rob MooreYouTube star KSI has given a small hint at the date he\u2019s targeting for a fight against Tommy Fury following his win over Joe Fournier, but he\u2019s still unsure if he\u2019ll get to take on Jake Paul. At the end of 2022, KSI finally ended his hiatus from boxing by returning to the ring to fight Swarmz and Luis Pineda on the same night. Since then, he\u2019s also defeated FaZe Temperrr after Dillion Danis dropped out of a scheduled fight. Most recently, the British YouTube icon defeated Joe Fournier via a knockout in the second round of their May 13 fight. However, Fournier has appealed the result after it appeared KSI used an elbow in landing the final blow. Despite that, KSI is eyeing up Tommy Fury as his next opponent, looking to do what Jake Paul couldn\u2019t and defeat the Reality TV star turned-boxer. KSI hints at Tommy Fury fight happening this summer The British YouTuber appeared on the May 15 episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to discuss his win \u2013 saying he\u2019d be \u201cpissed\u201d if the result was overturned \u2013 and to talk about his future steps. Helwani quizzed him on whether or not it\u2019d be Tommy next and if there was a date in mind. \u201cI want it to be 100% next, obviously negotiations have got to happen, but that\u2019s what I want, I want that fight,\u201d KSI said before being asked about when it could go down. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can say,\u201d he added before tuning that it is \u201caround-ish\u201d Jake\u2019s fight with Nate Diaz on August 5. Timestamp of 20:25 That naturally sparked an idea about KSI and Jake both winning their respective fights and then moving on to the long-awaited super fight between the two of them. \u201cI won\u2019t say it\u2019s dead, but if I beat Tommy Fury and Jake beats Nate, bro, everyone is going to be like \u2018JJ is going to win\u2019 surely?\u201d he continued. \u201cAt that point, the wave would be in my favor. It would be huge, of course, but would Jake want to fight me after I beat Tommy Fury?\u201d KSI also claimed that Jake simply \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to fight\u201d and has already scrapped plans for them to clash, so, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
