KSI and Tommy Fury ’s fight is seemingly off as the Love Island star has not met his rival’s contract deadline.
YouTube boxer KSI and Fury have been in negotiations for a fight in Manchester later this year. Fury was refusing to fight at 180lb as he called for the clash to be changed to 185lb, with KSI agreeing to the weight change only if a rehydration clause was added to the contract. It would see the pair both weigh in on fight day, presumably no more than 10lb heavier than their 185lb limit.
KSI labelled Fury as delusional for demanding a weight change and gave him until Monday evening to sign his side of the contract. “You’re disrespecting me and that’s p****ng me off. I’m tired of this back and forth with your stupid a** team. I know you’re not going to get this type of money anywhere else. You have until Monday the 3rd of July, 6pm to sign the contract. If you don’t sign it, I am moving on and that’s that. Remember, you need me and I definitely don’t need you.” KSI said on his YouTube channel.

Fury has weighed around 180lb for most of his professional boxing career whilst KSI also stepped on the scale around the same mark for his past three fights. KSI's refusal to fight at 185lb has been questioned by his bitter rival Jake Paul, who pointed out the Brit weighed 193lb for his 2018 rematch against Logan Paul.
KSI has been told by Fury to stop complaining about his proposed weight change and bulk up in size, as he said: "Here we go again guys, KSI going on about how it’s my fault the contract hasn’t been signed yet. Just a few things to clear up, KSI has only just agreed to do drug testing for this fight and now he’s complaining about the weight.
"This fight is at 185lb, take it or leave it. I know you’re a midget and you’re worrying about the weight, but get some more food down you and you’ll get there.” With his fight against KSI seemingly dead and buried, Fury could be set to rematch Jake Paul next after offering his bitter rival a second fight.
Fury handed Paul his first professional defeat when the pair met in February and Paul replied to the Brit’s call out by saying: “Tommy as my son I’m disappointed in you, I made you a millionaire and you haven’t said thank you. In a split decision you barely beat me. I’m coming for you Tommy. You better be ready, I’m coming.”
