KSI criticizes Tommy Fury for pulling out of Darren Till fight
The internet sensation KSI faced Tommy Fury in October 2023 in Manchester, England, and suffered a unanimous decision loss.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, KSI heavily criticized ‘TNT’ for pulling out of the highly anticipated bout against Darren Till. KSI also claimed that Fury was intimidated and never intended to face Till. He said:
"Darren Till was never going to kick Tommy Fury. Tommy is just a f**king p*ssy and didn’t want to get in the ring with Darren because I think he got intimidated by him, simple as that, f**k Tommy Fury. Molly Mae [Hague], he’s a deadbeat father, and he should go f**k himself."
