LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Following his victory against Joe Fournier, YouTube sensation KSI has provided a slight indication as to the date he's aiming for his next bout. But is it the fight that fans have been waiting for?
KSI clarified that he will take on Tommy Fury next, but he's still unclear on whether he'll get to face Jake Paul anytime soon. By entering the ring once more to compete against Swarmz and Luis Pineda on the same night in August 2022, KSI finally put an end to his absence from the boxing arena. Since then, after Dillion Danis backed out of a match, he has also defeated FaZe Temperrr.

YouTube star hints at Tommy Fury fight date
KSI made an appearance on 'The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani' on May 15 to celebrate his victory, claiming he'd be "pissed" if the decision were reversed, and to explore his next moves. Helwani asked him if Fury would be the next person and whether he had a date in mind.
Before being questioned about when it may happen, KSI stated, “I want it to be 100% next, obviously negotiations have got to happen, but that’s what I want, I want that fight.” That naturally led to the notion that KSI and Jake would each prevail in their individual matches before engaging in their long-awaited 'super fight'.
‘The wave would be in my favor’
He went on to say, “I won’t say it’s dead, but if I beat Tommy Fury and Jake beats Nate, bro, everyone is going to be like ‘JJ is going to win’ surely?” He further added, “At that point, the wave would be in my favor. It would be huge, of course, but would Jake want to fight me after I beat Tommy Fury?” Additionally, KSI asserted that Jake just "doesn't want to fight" and has already canceled their anticipated confrontation.
