Read our privacy policy Tommy Fury has promised to knock out KSI in front of a home crowd after their fight was announced for October 14 at Manchester’s AO Arena. Londoner KSI – who shot to fame as a YouTuber before donning the gloves for the first time in 2019 to face Logan Paul, who he has since become business partners with. KSI announced on Friday that he and Logan Paul would be the double main event at the AO Arena and – after it was confirmed he would face Fury, the 30-year-old wrote: “OCTOBER 14TH, I’m doing what Jake Paul couldn’t and beating Tommy Fury on the biggest night in crossover boxing history, at Manchester’s AO Arena, live on DAZN PPV on the PRIME CARD!” The fight will not be sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control as KSI does not hold a professional licence in the UK – instead the bout will be held under the auspices of the Professional Boxing Association and will not count towards any professional records.
