KSI discusses his preparation for upcoming fight with Tommy Fury
KSI shared insights into his preparations for the imminent showdown in an interview featured on Misfits' YouTube channel. 'The Nightmare' discussed his training regimen, and gameplan, and acknowledged being aware of Tommy Fury's tendencies as a seasoned boxer:
"I've watched [Fury and Paul's fight] many times, every angle on slo-mo, every stance, every little bit of detail that I need to know in order to beat Tommy Fury. Tommy has got some certain combinations that he likes doing that he's pretty good at, and we're looking out for that."
He added:
"Obviously, he's a big guy that likes to clinch, so we're going to be watching that and we're going to fight him. Just go in there and fight, go crazy, it's simple. I'm going to test that chin and I'm going to show him that my power is different from Jake Paul."
