Welcome to the enthralling world of crossover boxing, where the enigmatic Misfits organization takes center stage. In this peculiar boxing universe, two prominent figures have emerged: Tommy Fury, the poster boy of boxing royalty, and KSI, the influencer with a massive online following. On a Saturday night (i.e. today), at approximately 10 PM, these two seemingly unseasoned boxers will strip down to their bare essentials and step into the ring to earn millions.
Tommy Fury, the younger brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has maintained an impeccable record of nine undefeated fights within the legitimate boxing circuit. On the other hand, KSI, the creative mind behind Prime, boasts an astronomical number of followers across various social media platforms. His experience in the ring, however, is limited to just one sanctioned boxing match.
The intriguing aspect is that both Fury and KSI are novices in the realm of professional boxing. On this Saturday night, before an eager audience of nearly 20,000, they will engage in a six-round battle, with a weight limit capped at 183 pounds, all for the sake of ultimate bragging rights. Astonishingly, the two fighters seem evenly matched in various aspects.
Undoubtedly, boxing purists find themselves outraged by the fact that these novices are set to amass fortunes from their fight. However, in Tommy Fury’s case, it appears to be a shrewd career move. He is an entertaining novice with immense promise, but if he were to continue his career within the legitimate boxing scene, he might only expect to earn around ten thousand pounds for a fight at the regional title level. His decision to join forces with Misfits and challenge KSI has proven to be a brilliant business maneuver. This bout promises to be a lucrative venture for Fury, and it seems he’s left behind a trail of envy and potential rivals in the British boxing business. It’s important to clarify that this isn’t personal; it’s simply the nature of the fight game.
