After KSI’s victory, Tommy Fury calls out Conor McGregor.
I will 100 per cent share the ring with him’
Tommy Fury wasted no time after defeating KSI on Saturday night in naming his next opponent, Conor McGregor.
The 24-year-old defeated the YouTube celebrity, rapper, and boxer in a contentious majority decision during a six-round cruiserweight contest in Manchester to extend his unbeaten streak to ten matches.
KSI was upset with the outcome, which two judges gave to Fury 57-56 and a third at 57-57, and said he planned to “appeal.”
“It’s a robbery, how many jabs did he land? I’m the YouTuber, you’re the boxer, I understand, you have to win. I want to appeal,” he said.
During the bout, Fury, the younger brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and a former Love Island contestant, landed 12 jabs and 30 blows.
Fury’s triumph was his second this year, following his defeat of another influencer-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, in Saudi Arabia in February.
After KSI’s victory, Tommy Fury calls out Conor McGregor.
Both Paul and KSI want to fight Fury again.
Fury stated in an interview with Fight Hub TV that he is now “head of the table” in influencer boxing, “and no one can deny that.”
“I bet Jake Paul and KSI all within a year.” I won this crossover boxing match, so any future bouts will be on my terms, when I choose to fight. How can you argue with that? It’s all up to me now.”
When asked which of Paul and KSI is the priority for a rematch, Fury responded he “isn’t bothered at all.”
“But, at the end of the day,” she says, “it is what it is.” I’m now in charge of the table. We’ll get down with the entire team and figure out what comes next, but who says it has to be Paul or KSI?
When Fight Hub TV suggested McGregor had called out KSI, and he had just beaten KSI, Fury wasted no time suggesting he would like to take up the chance to fight The Notorious.
“Let me say this, yeah, I would love to share the ring with Conor McGregor, and if Conor McGregor wants it next, I say, I will 100 per cent share the ring with him, because I’m a fan of Conor McGregor, I like him, he’s a good man, he got me into UFC,” he was quoted as saying.
“However, if he wants to share the ring, the man is there, and the offer is there.” Conor is up next.
