KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, has sent a stern warning to his opponent Tommy Fury. He has claimed to be «prepared to die» which means he is willing to go to any lengths, even risking it all to emerge victorious in their upcoming October 14 bout. The rivals will meet in the ring in a bout at Manchester's AO Arena on 14 October. Logan Paul will take on Dillon Danis in a co-headlining match.
In an Instagram story, KSI said, «I want you to know that the hell doesn’t stop after the fight is over. You will be reminded over and over again for the rest of your life that you lost to a YouTube that’s “worse than Jake Paul”. I’m not here to box you, I’m here to fight you. I’m prepared to die for this. You will see. Let’s see how much you really want this.»

After KSI and Tommy Fury first agreed to a fight, the YouTuber's trash talk centered on how he would be able to do what Jake Paul couldn't and defeat Tommy in the ring.
After KSI warned his rival in such strong words, he was ridiculed. Some spectators have made fun of KSI for the statement, and some others have called it «corny» and said that he is «trying too hard» at this time.
Whatever claims KSI makes, it will be the hardest battle of his boxing career because Fury has considerably more experience than him. Tommy Fury has spent most of his life training with his brother Tyson Fury, the current world champion.
Meanwhile, former boxing world champion Ryan Garica has called out KSI to fight him. Earlier, KSI accused the former Lightweight champion of having “robbed” him of his fans with his last fight against Gervonta Davis.
