In his Prime! KSI enjoys the good life relaxing on a yacht during holiday with the YouTuber’s megafight against Tommy Fury ‘on the brink’ of being announced
- KSI has been engaged in a social media conflict with Tommy Fury for some time
- Fury recently appeared in Soccer Aid with his performance slammed afterwards
- John Fury reveals an agreement between Fury and KSI is now ‘very, very close’
KSI has been relaxing aboard a luxury yacht on the shores of Ibiza, with a megafight against Tommy Fury rumoured to be close to agreement.
The YouTube sensation is one of a number of boxers to make the transition to the sport from the platform, joined by the likes of Jake Paul.
His potential opponent, who beat Paul in a highly-anticipated clash in Saudi Arabia earlier in 2023, notably featured in Soccer Aid last Sunday at Old Trafford, although he will hope for a much better performance if the pair are to square off in the ring.
The 29-year-old internet celebrity was spotted in the company of some friends in a pair of white swimming shorts on the decks of a huge yacht.
Moored not far from the shore, the passengers could be seen sunbathing and unwinding in the scorching sun typical to the Balearic island.

A fight with Tommy Fury – who appeared in Soccer Aid – is thought to be close to being agreed
Discussions between the YouTuber and reality tv star have rumbled on, and it is believed that an agreement is close to being announced.
Any fight between the two – who are capable of amassing huge audiences – is thought to prove hugely financially beneficial for both parties.
There has been a social media rivalry between the pair that has become commonplace in the sport – particularly preceding clashes between internet personalities.
‘Well, we’re nearly over the line with that one I think,’ said Fury’s father, John.
‘Me and the Sauerlands, we’re nearly over the line with it. I think it’ll be announced very shortly.
‘Until it’s signed off, nothing’s done, is it? But I’m happy, we’re nearly there. We’ll hopefully get it on this year with him and KSI,’ he added.
KSI would come into the encounter on the back of a mixed outing in his most recent bout, after taking on Joe Fourmier in a highly-billed contest that initially saw the 29-year-old declared the winner by knockout.
However, the decision was overturned soon after the event, after it became apparent that KSI’s elbow made contact with Fourmier’s head before he went down, although he was not disqualified and it went down as a ‘no decision’.

Fury however has a more straightforward win under his belt, beating Paul in February via a split points decision and has been engaged in a social media rivalry with KSI ever since.
‘I am training for that fight. Negotiations are going back and forth, we’re just waiting on Tommy [Fury] essentially,’ KSI told Misfits Boxing.
‘I’m training, I’m getting ready for that fight, that’s what I want.
‘Because I know as soon as I beat Tommy Fury, Jake Paul’s whole career, his whole legacy’s in the bin, and I will be laughing,’ he added.
