Tommy Fury jokes he will put "no-elbow clause" in contract for KSI fight

Tommy Fury has joked he will put a 'no-elbow' clause in his contract for his mooted fight against KSI after the YouTuber boxer's controversial knockout against Joe Fournier.

KSI knocked out 'boxing billionaire' Fournier in the second round of their fight earlier this month to remain unbeaten in the ring.

The win was later overturned to a no decision by the PBA [Professional Boxing Association] after instant replay showed the fight-ending blow came by way of an accidental elbow from KSI.

The YouTuber boxer faced off with Fury in the ring just moments after knocking out Fournier as all signs point towards a meeting between the pair later this year. Love Island star Fury gave a scathing assessment of KSI's boxing style in a recent video whilst taking a dig at his future opponent's recent win.

"What's funny about this is KSI is going to be talking and talking like Jake [Paul] did in the build-up to it, but the same thing is going to happen," he said. "Actually no, not the same thing. He's going to be on the floor because Jake Paul is a little bit more reserved, but this KSI is just gung-ho, wild with no head movement. You can't do against a top fighter and I'll put it in the contract, no elbows.

"It's going to be nice just shutting up these people who have been rambling on for years about being fighters. Being about it, but they've never fought one person that can actually fight. I think it [influencer boxing] will never die because they will just fight different people and other YouTubers. Them fighting professional boxers, that will end."

Fury kept his unbeaten professional record intact by handing Paul his first defeat when they met in Saudi Arabia in February. 'TNT' insisted he wouldn't stick around for a fight against another YouTuber after beating Paul, but he backtracked on that decision for a pencilled-in meeting against KSI.

"The way I see it is like a pie" he added. "One side of it being Jake Paul and the other side of it being KSI. I have already ate one side of the pie and s*** it out, that's why he [Paul] is now fighting a 40-year-old man. Now all I have to do is eat the other pie and guess what? The pie is no longer there, it's over. That's what I plan on doing this year, end it all."
