The pair are set to go head-to-head on October 14.

After months of speculation, KSI and Tommy Fury are set to go toe-to-toe in what promises to be one of the most high-profile boxing matches of the year.

Fury, 24, called out the YouTube star after his most recent bout against Joe Fournier, with the pair now set to face off at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday.

Having been in tense negotiations, the deal was announced to have been made in July, but there has since been no conversations regarding a split on the purse.

Logan Paul, Salt Papi, King Kenny and Astrid Wett all feature on the under card, with the north-west set to home some of the internet’s biggest stars this weekend.

How much will KSI and Tommy earn?

JJ was rather outspoken regarding the purse when posed the question by Ariel Helwani on his MMA Hour podcast, but insisted money isn’t the motivator for getting into the ring this time.

“I don’t look at how much I get paid,” he began. “I couldn’t care less. It’s not about the money man, it’s about the legacy bro. It’s about trying to be the best.

“I want to prove to the world that Tommy Fury, a boxer who’s boxed all his life, is gonna be facing me, KSI, who was a YouTube gamer and is also in the Sidemen, does all these random things and does boxing here and there. I’ve done boxing for way less years but I have the tenacity, the self-belief, the hard work, and I’m gonna go in there against the odds and beat Tommy Fury.”

What have the pair earned before?

Fury was believed to have earned close to £2-3 million for his last bout with Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia, and walked away with the win after an eighth-round split-decision victory.

KSI, whose last bout with Fournier was deemed a ‘non-contest’ after a successful appeal, is estimated to have earned roughly around the same figure against the previously undefeated fighter.
