Tommy Fury opens talks with Misfits Boxing over return fight with huge KSI rematch on the cards
TOMMY FURY is entering talks with Misfits Boxing over a return fight – as a rematch with KSI continues to loom.
Fury has not fought since beating the YouTuber-turned-boxer via controversial decision in October 2023.
The 2019 Love Islander was due to face ex-UFC star Darren Till in a comeback bout in January.
But Fury bizarrely pulled out after Till threatened to KICK him in the head – and he has not rescheduled his return.
KSI’s manager Mams Taylor – the co-founder of Misfits – revealed promoter Kalle Sauerland is now due for talks with Fury’s side.
Taylor told SunSport: “Kalle’s speaking with Tommy’s team today. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on with that.
“I’d love to see Tommy in a Misfits ring. Honestly, I think the fight between Darren and Tommy would have been fantastic to set up the winner of that against KSI down the line as well.
“Darren I’m very big on. I think he’s an absolute pay-per-view star. And listen, there aren’t that many pay-per-view stars.
“Another reason not to rush KSI versus Darren is I think we can develop Darren into standing on his own two feet to becoming sort of one of the flag bearers of Misfits.
“And I think he’s a very tough guy. He’s only improving in boxing with the incredible team he’s got.

“The guys he works with, they’re elite, champions, and I think it’d be great to have Tommy in as well.
“We’ve got some characters, characters who all have personalities and they all have their own goals as well.
“So you’ve got to navigate around that and balance everything out, but I’d love to see Tommy back in the Misfits ring as well and I’d love to see a KSI-Tommy rematch at some point as well.”
Till, 32, beat ex-MMA fighter Anthony Taylor, 34, in place of Fury – and Taylor hopes the grudge bout can be re-visited.
He said: “I’d love to make that happen but I don’t think the Furys are keen on that fight for whatever reason right now.
“So I would love to make it happen though to answer your question – if we can.
“But the problem is, I can’t force people to fight each other, you know, I sometimes wish I could!”
Fury, 25, underwent hand surgery in the aftermath of his win over KSI, 31, who also picked up a similar injury himself.
KSI now returns on March 29 in Manchester against Dillon Danis, 31, who is 2-0 in MMA and lost his boxing debut to Logan Paul, 29, in 2023.
And Taylor has left the door open to a rematch between KSI and Fury.
He said: “It’s very possible. I think we have to focus on keeping their options open and if we’re able to keep our options open, let’s see what happens on March 29th.”
