KSI’s team set for talks with Tommy Fury for rematch as Love Island star offered shock route back into boxing by rival
KSI and Tommy Fury could be heading for a huge rematch with talks to take place between the two camps.
Fury became the first to hand YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI defeat in the ring after his controversial points victory in October.
The 2019 Love Island star – who is in the midst of a break up with Molly-Mae Hague – has since had hand surgery which sidelined him.
But Fury is back training and wants to make a comeback by January – with KSI’s manager and Misfits Boxing boss Mams Taylor is ready for talks.
Taylor told SunSport: “I think Tommy would do really well on the Misfits roster. And I know our teams are in touch with their team.
“So watch this space. Let’s see what happens.”
Fury, 25, won a disputed six-round decision over KSI, 31, fuelling demand for a second bout.
And Taylor added: “And as far as KSI and Tommy, I think when the time is right, that rematch definitely should happen.
“Till this day people are still very divided about that result.”
A rematch could follow as quickly as 2025 but Fury is also linked with another fight against Jake Paul, 27, who beat by split-decision last year too.

KSI meanwhile has also not fought since his first loss having had a similar painful hand problem.
It meant he is unable to fight on Misfits Boxing’s “super card” in Qatar on November 28.
British boxing legend and former world champion Amir Khan, 37, was a rumoured opponent but KSI was forced out with injury.
Taylor said: “JJ’s spent a lot of time nursing that hand injury taking time to make sure that he’s 100 per cent and doesn’t have to fight with a hand injury when he faces an opponent of that kind of calibre.
“It’s not something that you want to take lightly so we spoke to the doctors and kind of got a gage of when he can be ready and in optimum shape.”
