KSI ‘in talks over Tommy Fury rematch’ after controversial boxing clash | Boxing | Sport
Tommy Fury and KSI could be set for a boxing rematch after the latter’s manager revealed that talks are ongoing about a second bout.
Fury was controversially awarded a unanimous decision victory over the YouTuber when they clashed in October 2023, which KSI labelled as a ‘robbery’ and formally lodged an appeal to the Professional Boxing Association.
The defeat was the first of KSI’s boxing career, and the now-musician may be offered the chance to enact revenge on Fury by stepping back into the ring with the boxer, and half-brother of Tyson Fury.
KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has revealed to The Sun that a rematch could be on the cards as he is in talks with Fury’s camp over signing him on to Misfits Boxing. He said: “I think Tommy would do really well on the Misfits roster. And I know our teams are in touch with their team.
“So watch this space. Let’s see what happens. And as far as KSI and Tommy, I think when the time is right, that rematch definitely should happen. Till this day people are still very divided about that result.”
KSI has not fought since his first-ever defeat as he is nursing a hand injury, though Taylor is hopeful that the 31-year-old can return to the ring soon.
He added: “JJ’s spent a lot of time nursing that hand injury taking time to make sure that he’s 100 per cent and doesn’t have to fight with a hand injury when he faces an opponent of that kind of calibre.
“It’s not something that you want to take lightly so we spoke to the doctors and kind of got a gauge of when he can be ready and in optimum shape.”
