The slicker, all round skills of Tommy (Duran) against the cruder, more power based style of KSI (Barkley). However, unlike Duran vs Barkley, I suspect that, if a knockdown happens, it'll be Tommy Duran who hits the deck.

Did you actually just compare Tommy Fury to Roberto Duran

Did you actually take that seriously?

The comparisons is nonsense, I see it far more as a Duran v Davey Moore

Now, before this really kicks off, which one is Duran and which one is Moore?

Well which one is the clever boxer and which is the wild man who knocks out horses with a single blow!

Now that you've cleared that up, it's hard to argue against it.

Tommy is no longer with Frank and Queensberry.

He’s started to negotiate with KSI.

"We're not involved in that. We're not involved. We had our last fight with him, which was the last one. We had a good relationship but we're doing our thing and he's doing his thing and I wish him all the best because he's a lovely fella," Warren told BT Sport.

"I am training for that fight. Negotiations are going back and forth, we're just waiting on Tommy essentially. We've just gotta do a few things to make sure it's all perfect, but it's very, very close. I'm training, I'm getting ready for that fight, that's what I want," KSI told The Misfist Youtube channel.

KSI Gives Tommy Fury Hard Deadline To Sign Contract: "You Need Me, I Definitely Don't Need You"

"Just a few things to clear up; KSI's only just agreed to do drug testing for this fight. Took his time with that one. And now he's complaining about the weight. This fight's at 185, take-it-or-leave it," Fury stated.

"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. If you just don't want to fight, I know somebody who will fight in October, somebody who is ready to fight and will get to 185. Jake Paul, if you want to run it back, let's do it, fine by me. I'll knock you spark out this time. So let me know boys."


KSI is not willing to change the terms and has given Fury a hard deadline to sign the current contract or the fight will be called off.

“Tommy, I think you need to realize who the f--- you’re talking to. I don’t need to do this. I don’t need to fight. I choose to fight. So I want you to listen you delusional piece of sh!t. You’re disrespecting me and that’s p!ssing me off. Sign the contract as it is or else I’m fighting someone else," KSI said.

"I’m tired of this back and forth with your stupid-ass team, and I damn well know that you’re not going to be getting that type of money anywhere else, not even Saudi Arabia. You have until Monday, July 3, 6pm. to sign the contract. If you don’t sign it, I’m moving on, that’s that. Remember, you need me, I definitely do not need you.”

"CONFIRMED: weights agreed today for KSI v Tommy Fury... very close now," his tweet read.

Paul-Diaz isn't youtube is it?

Either way, the youtube ones are a complete different market anyway..

Tommy is a smart Gypsy. He knows, he won't be a top boxer, so he fights the novice cashcows.

Can't blame him one bit, making millions for a spar. Fair play I say.

Not blaming him either. It's cool to gather money from silly and perverted people. I'd even like to do the same!

He’s done some good self promotion with Eddie Hall in the last few months as well. Will no doubt have increased his number of followers and a demographic that will traverse nicely into ‘boxing’ as well, no doubt will have sorted a few extra buyers for the PPV.

As mentioned he is very smart to be fair.

He was having some training and interview with Eddie Hall.

Eddie asked him who his ideal opponent would be and he replied Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition
