Derek Chisora does not think Tommy Fury would stand a chance against social media star, KSI.

Over the weekend, KSI beat two opponents in one night, opening the show by stopping rapper Swarmz and closing the night by knocking out professional boxer, Luis Alcaraz Pineda.

Prior to the fights, KSI admitted that Fury, the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, was an option for his next fight in January.

“I’m definitely down to fight Tommy Fury, one hundred per cent,”.

“I don’t want to say too much, but for me that could make sense for my next fight after the 27th.

“There’s obviously other names, but Tommy Fury is one of the names.”

In his post-fight interview KSI mentioned Fury again, but experienced heavyweight, Chisora, thinks the latter would not take the fight.

"[KSI] and Tommy Fury I would like to see that, one hundred per cent, let's make that happen." .

"KSI would smoke him. Tommy Fury will not fight KSI because he knows if he loses to KSI, the traveller community will never have respect for him.

"KSI will knock him out."

Contrary to what Chisora had to say, it seems Fury is interested in a clash with KSI, as he posted on Twitter following the social media star's call out.

"You know where to find me @KSI," Fury said.

With that being said, Fury is also actively chasing a fight with KSI's long-time rival, Jake Paul, as he called him out in a recent video on social media.

“A certain somebody can’t keep my name out of their mouth,” Fury said. “He’s got me in his Instagram bio, he’s doing tweets about me.

“He’s even put Amanda Serrano on the Joe Joyce vs Joseph Parker bill next month in Manchester knowing full well I’ll be there.

“I see he’s put out that he’s fighting in October at 185 lbs. I’ve already been training and I’m ready for October. 185 lbs is my fighting weight.

“If you want this dust settled once and for all, get yourself over here and lets get it on.

“There’s no excuses here, no one’s afraid to fight you. Get in touch, you pick the date, the venue, I’m not bothered.”

Paul is set to return to the ring in October, but his opponent is yet to be announced, although he will reportedly be the underdog on this occasion.
