JJ \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji will box again May 13 on the next Misfits boxing card. While his opponent hasn\u2019t been announced yet, fans know he\u2019s been aiming for former MMA star Tyron Woodley or retired pro Joe Fournier to join him in the ring. However, he\u2019s so confident that he\u2019ll score a win, he\u2019s already revealed to fans he\u2019s thinking about what comes after that date. Although he previously claimed that the Jake Paul match would 100% go down in 2023, it seems like the business side of things may throw a wrench in the works of that plan. KSI has Tommy Fury in sight as Jake Paul negotiations run long Olatunji broke the news in a March 12 tweet where he brought his audience up to speed on the situation as it stands. \u201cAt this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I\u2019m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury,\u201d he explained. \u201cJake Paul is being long with negotiations.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time that the YouTuber has admitted that he wants a shot at Fury. Not only did he name-drop him after defeating FaZe Temperrr back in January, but he took a big dig at the pro boxer following Paul vs. Fury on February 26. On the other side, Tommy Fury has already acknowledged that he\u2019d have no problem taking a match with KSI, insinuating that Olatunji isn\u2019t nearly as talented as Jake and that the fight would be a breeze. \u201cSparring ain\u2019t fighting, you got to get in there to do it and I\u2019ll tell you now if KSI wants to entertain a fight \u2013 he\u2019s no Jake Paul and I\u2019ll take that no problem.\u201d Setting up a sanctioned bout isn\u2019t as easy as verbally agreeing to it though, so it remains to be seen if KSI gets the match that he\u2019s gunning for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI targets Tommy Fury after claiming Jake Paul negotiations have stalled YouTube: KSIKSI has made his post-May intentions clear, he\u2019ll be turning his eyes to Tommy Fury if a match against Jake Paul isn\u2019t locked in soon.
