Tommy Fury fuming with KSI’s Sidemen after recent comments

A friend and colleague of KSI has invoked the name of Tommy Fury’s daughter in some recent trash talk and now the young father has fired back angrily on social media.

In what was an anticipated showdown at Manchester’s AO Arena back in October 2023, ‘TNT’ Fury secured a points victory over fellow social media star KSI in front of a crowd of 20,000 people.

Notably, the match was not sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control due to KSI’s lack of a professional boxing license in the UK and indeed the six-round cruiserweight bout showcased both fighters’ limitations in a contest that was marked by frequent grappling and very few significant strikes.

Despite a close contest, Fury, 24, emerged victorious with a majority decision, with one judge scoring it a draw and the other two in favour of Fury at 57-56. KSI denounced the outcome as “a robbery” and called for a rematch and ever since has often trash-talked Fury and his family.

This latest incident involves one of the members of KSI’s Sidemen crew, Simon, who spoke about Fury’s recently born daughter. This enraged Fury and boxing journalist Michael Benson captured the Instagram story he posted in response and shared it in a post on X.

“Simon from the Sidemen, say whatever you want about your mate KSI who lost, but don’t you ever mention my daughter’s name again, or me and yous gunna have a problem. Keep my child’s name out of your mouth.”

While his father is being called out by everyone from Carl Froch to the coach of Francis Ngannou, Fury himself is currently in rehab having had surgery on a long-standing hand injury and hopes to return to fighting as soon as possible.
