KSI was left desperately trying to get the words back into his mouth after making a huge mistake while talking about Tommy Fury.
The rivals went head-to-head on October 14, 2023, at the AO Arena in Manchester, UK, with the brother of the former heavyweight world champion, walking away the victor.
KSI says Tommy Fury is his ‘dad’ in bizarre moment
It’s fair to say that KSI and Tommy Fury aren’t exactly the best of friends. But in a testament to their ability to conduct business, the pair have agreed a deal for the Love Island runner-up to face Darren Till on January 18 at the Co-op Live in Manchester, UK.
Yesterday, the two men headlining the event met in person at a press conference, with KSI sitting in the middle to perform his role as the CEO of Misfits Boxing.
The press conference quickly exploded, with Till threatening to kick his opponent in the face if he loses, prompting John Fury to launch water at him in return.
But while the fighters set to take part in the event undeniably entertained, there was still undercurrents of tension between KSI and his last opponent.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that after the event, the YouTuber was keen to fire shots in his adversary’s direction.
But in a lapse of concentration, he made a massive error.
In an interview with IFL TV, KSI said: “F*** Tommy, yeah he’s my dad. I mean, I’m his dad.”
Of course, the fans were quick to jump on this, with one saying: “KSI finally admitted he lost to Tommy Fury & that he (Tommy) is his father”, while another added: “That clip is gonna haunt him, poor guy.”
Tommy Fury surprises fans by revealing what weight he’ll fight Darren Till at
There’s no doubt that the build-up to Fury vs Till will be bursting with drama. And it could be a good scrap in the ring as well.
The reality star undeniably has the edge in experience with the ‘sweet science’, but while many will compare this to Jake Paul fighting MMA fighters, this isn’t exactly the same.
Rather than an old grappler, Till is only 31 and has a wealth of experience, competing in Muay Thai, making him quite possibly the toughest test of Fury’s career.
Regardless, the biggest talking point about the contest at the moment, is the strange weight they’ve agreed to compete at.
