- Tommy Fury is reportedly in talks with KSI about a possible rematch
- Fury was expected to take part in I’m A Celebrity but pulled out
Tommy Fury has entered talks with KSI over a possible rematch after their successful clash last year, according to reports.
Fury was expected to take part in the latest series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, which begins next month.
However, despite having lengthy conversations with ITV producers, the 25-year-old pulled out of the show at short notice.
As reported by the sun, Fury is said to have received a lucrative offer to return to the ring and face his rival once again.
The pair met in a clash in Manchester in October 2023, with Fury winning in the sixth round by unanimous decision, which was a controversial verdict.

Producers hoped Fury would enter the jungle and provide insight into his high-profile split from influencer Molly-Mae Hague. The couple separated after five years together.
A TV source told The Sun: “Bosses are surprised Tommy has pulled out of I’m A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him.”
‘Fortunately, executives already had some big names waiting in the wings, so they’ll be looking to see which ones fit best into the lineup already booked in order to deliver a truly great series.
“With just weeks to go, bosses have lined up one of the most exciting casts in the show’s history.”
Fury has won all 10 of his professional fights so far, although he hasn’t stepped into the ring since his initial fight with KSI.
KSI was furious after the fight, in which the scorecards read 57-56, 57-56, 57-56 in Fury’s favor. KSI was furious afterwards, calling the sentence a “theft.”
Former Love Island star Fury has won four of his fights so far by knockout and could now look to test himself again.
KSI manager and Misfits Boxing boss Mams Taylor recently suggested a rematch with Fury was likely.
KSI insisted he should have won his initial fight with Fury in October 2023.
Taylor said the sun: ‘As for KSI and Tommy, I think when the time is right, that rematch should definitely happen.
“To this day people are still very divided about that outcome.”
