Ahead of their fight this weekend, Tommy Fury and KSI go head-to-head at the DAZN press conference. The duo was kept in what looked to be a cage, even though they were told to box. The event is going to be held on October 14. The fight card consists of Tommy vs. KSI, Dillon Danis vs. Logan Paul, and Salt Papi vs. Slim Albaher.
Tommy (9-0) is determined to save the sport from the clutches of YouTubers and influencers and has set his eyes on another rising celebrity boxer, KSI (5-0-1). Their indifference began when KSI defeated Logan Paul back in 2019, to which Tommy immediately called him out but with no success.
The two recently met at the DAZN press conference, but their meeting did not go as planned. As the badmouthing between the Fury and KSI continues, Tommy is seen to call his dad inside the cage. John Fury once again steals the limelight as he goes on to intimidate The Nightmare by punching the plexiglass, separating them.

This has then called for a downward spiral of comments from the fans. A fan commented, “I love that man he knows how to sell”. Another wrote, “I’ll buy a separate PPV to see him fight”. Similar tweets came up, “All for ticket sales, hilarious & embarrassing at the same time”. “Love it, especially the headbutt to the cage! Lovely”. An X user also wrote, “Of course John’s in there”.
This comes a day after KSI incidentally spat on John Fury during the open workout promotion of the fight. John Fury knows the game inside and out, so this might just be a facade for promoting the fight. During this same press conference, Dillon Danis had an altercation with Logan Paul, which led to Logan getting injured.
KSI spit on John Fury
On October 11, during the public workout, KSI apparently spat on Tommy Fury’s father John Fury. As the fighters tried to provoke each other, John threw a bottle of water at the YouTuber who was standing at an upper level.
What goes up must come down as John Fury throws his bottle and KSI spits back 😲

The fans at Bowlers Exhibition Centre were excited to see their idols going up against each other when such an incident took place. Earlier in August, John toppled a table during their press conference.
It can be said that John, who was a former professional boxer himself, really knows how to gain the public’s attention through his actions. Not to mention that he was also heard exchanging words with Logan Paul’s dad, Greg Paul. Tommy, on the other hand, believes that he is winning this mind game against KSI.
Ever since their fight, both KSI and Logan Paul have settled their bad blood, and the two have also collaborated with each other for their energy drink PRIME. Now it is to be seen whether KSI or Tommy Fury wins the fight. Do let us know in the comments.
