One fan commented: "Jake is starting to believe in KSI’s legacy."

While another said: "He is scared that [KSI] might beat Tommy.";

And a third pointed out: "Wasn't he saying there's no way [KSI] beats Tommy before?"

KSI himself is certainly confident that he will emerge victorious against Fury, as he has previously said: "A YouTuber is going to knock out Tommy Fury and there’s nothing you can do about it.

"Tommy Fury is the boxer, obviously he’s the man everyone thinks is going to beat me but it’s actually up to me [when the fight ends], I’m the one that decides.

“And when I have you in the ring Tommy Fury, when I grab your big, fat head and constantly hit you with that right hand, it’s night-night buddy and your legacy is done.
