KSI costing Tony Bellew ‘fortune’ as ex-boxer makes Tommy Fury fight prediction
KSI to wear diamond and gold mouthguard worth £40,000
Tony Bellew believes that KSI could cause Tommy Fury problems when they meet in the ring on Saturday night because he has “something about him”. But the Bomber is still expecting the more experienced Fury to walk out of the ring as the winner.
YouTube star KSI (real name Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji) will face former Love Island contestant Fury as part of a bumper double headline bill at Manchester’s AO Arena in what promises to be the biggest night of cross-over boxing so far.
Top of the bill is shared with another social media star, Logan Paul, who is facing MMA fighter Dillon Danis amid an ugly war of words between the two fighters, and Bellow has made his predictions for both fights.
“I think Logan Paul beats Dillon Danis and Tommy should win, but I think this will be the hardest fight of his career because JJ (KSI) has something about him where he will just let his hands go,” said Bellew.
“Jake Paul wouldn’t let his hands go but I think KSI will. So while I’m predicting a win for Tommy Fury, it’s not with any real certainty. It’s only a six-round fight, so I think they might both just let their hands go.”
In the build-up to the fight, KSI has said that he has already been practising his victory speech, while Fury has claimed that he could have 15 pints down the pub beforehand and still beat the Misfits Boxing chief.
Regardless of how the night goes, it is likely to be another financial success for Misfits Boxing and KSI, whose joint Prime Energy drink venture with Logan Paul continues to go from strength to strength.
Even former WBC cruiserweight champion Bellow is not immune to the trappings of the duo’s ultra-popular beverage range.

Bellow added: “Tommy should win. He’s the one with the professional boxing licence. I give JJ so much credit because he’s just such a hard-working kid.
“I’ve had a conversation with him and Eddie Hearn on a podcast and I was intrigued by him. They’re paying fighters absolute fortunes with their Prime drink and I’m so impressed that they’re giving back to the fighters and I can’t credit him enough.
“That Prime drink costs me a fortune because my kids love it!”
