Tommy Fury in talks to fight KSI in Battle of Britain bout, handing massive blow to Jake Paul
TOMMY FURY is in talks to fight KSI next, claims his dad John.
The Brit is coming off his split-decision grudge match victory over fierce rival Jake Paul last month.
Paul, 26, is believed to possess a rematch clause with Fury and wants to avenge the first defeat of his career.
But in an interview with the Mirror, John Fury claims that his son could go in a different direction.
He said: “Well, no, we aren’t sure I have been in talks with the Sauerland brothers about a possible match-up with their man KSI.
“I had a meeting with them the other day and it went well. Let’s see what happens.
“I am still waiting to hear from them, but they did text me the other day saying they are really busy and they are on it.
“If it can be done, we will do it. Whoever else wants to box Tommy, ring the number and get in touch.
“I don’t deal with the Jake Paul rematch, I am on a rest period and I have just left that to my lawyer.
“But I’m sure if it can be done, we can do it.”

KSI, 29, is set to return to the ring on May 13 when he takes on Joe Fournier at Wembley Arena.
Fournier was beaten by David Haye in an exhibition bout in 2021.
KSI previously accused Paul of “ducking” him.
He said in a Twitter Space: “They look like they just want to do the rematch or they want to look for another opponent.
“It doesn’t seem like they are keen to fight me any time soon, which is funny because he was the guy who said I was ducking.
“But, I’m not ducking anyone, man. I’ve literally told everyone the reason why I came back into boxing was to fight Jake Paul.
“And now he doesn’t want to fight me.”
