Fury won a highly anticipated fight against Jake Paul last month, just weeks after the birth of his first child Bambi Fury with long-term partner Molly Mae Hague. Following Fury’s triumphant win, he admitted he was open to more celebrity bouts - including KSI.

Previously, Fury had to pull out of the two contests against the Youtuber due to an injury and visa-related issues. Despite a number of setbacks, judges called the fight 76-73, 76-73, 74-75 in Fury’s favour. This is a breaking news story and this article will be updated when more information is announced.
