Tony Bellew slams Tommy Fury over KSI callout

Tommy Fury has been accused of being ‘desperate’ by Tony Bellew after accepting a recent callout from KSI.

YouTube sensation KSI challenged Tyson Fury‘s younger brother to meet him in the ring early next year moments after he stopped Luis Pineda in the second round at London’s iconic O2 Arena on August 27.

Fury’s enthusiasm soon came to the attention of former WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew, who didn’t hold back when giving his thoughts on the former Love Island star’s plans.

Writing in his column for DAZN.com, Bellew wrote: “It was quite a weekend on DAZN last week when KSI returned to the ring.
