Tommy Fury facing off with KSI

KSI has AGREED to Tommy Fury’s “take-it-or-leave it” fight offer – but under one condition.

The celebrity pair were locked in negotiations for an all-British bout in Manchester.

But KSI came out and threw doubt over the fight by revealing a disagreement in weight.

He accused Fury of trying to change it from 180lb to 185lb and admitted it could be axed because of it.

And on Instagram, Fury hit back: “Now he’s complaining about the weight. This fight’s at 185, take-it-or-leave it.”

So KSI has appeared to bite the bullet and accepted the weight – so long as there is an on the day weigh in too.

He tweeted: “Tommy, I wanna KO your ass so badly that I’ll come up in weight and do 185 lbs if you agree to do the weigh in on the morning of fight day.

“Nice fair fight. If not you will forever be known as Tommy Ducky.”

For KSI’s last fight against nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, it was at 180lb.

But there was a 10lb rehydration clause, meaning the two could not go over 190lb for the second weigh in just hours before the bout.

KSI, 30, went on to knock out Fournier, 40, with an accidental but illegal elbow, with the result being overturned to a no-contest.

But a rematch was snubbed so he could turn his attention to Fury, 24, who in February beat KSI’s YouTube rival Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia.

Fury is yet to respond to KSI’s rehydration clause but originally he was given until Monday to sign the fight contract.
