KSI fires X-rated comment to Tommy Fury after latest fight announcement

YouTube sensation KSI has appeared to aim a dig at Tommy Fury after it was confirmed that he would fight against Darren Till at the Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday, January 18.

Speculation had risen over whether Fury could have been heading to Australia for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! But the Love Island star and professional boxer, who last fought in October 2023 with a points victory over KSI, will now face Liverpool former UFC ace Till in the first month of 2025.

As well as appearing on I'm A Celebrity, a rematch with KSI was also reported to be in store after 'talks' had taken place. And after it was confirmed that Fury will instead take on Till - who has never fought in a professional boxing bout before - KSI sent a pointed message to his rival.

As for the fight itself, Fury is excited to go back into the ring for the first time in over a year and since his split from long-term partner Molly-Mae Hague. He said: "It feels great to, finally, say that I am back! I have been out of the ring far too long, I’ve been getting itchy knuckles, and so I am thrilled to be able to announce my return.

"This is extra special as I am the A-side and headlining a massive event in my hometown and in front of my fans, at Co-op Live. Till had a good UFC
