Tommy Fury hits back with ‘take-it-or-leave it’ offer to KSI and vows to knock Jake Paul ‘spark out’ if fight is axed
TOMMY FURY hit back with a "take-it-or-leave it" offer to KSI and threatened to turn his attention back to Jake Paul if their fight collapses.
Fury and KSI were locked in negotiations for an all-British celebrity boxing bout in Manchester.
But KSI came out and threw doubt over the fight by revealing a disagreement in weight.
He accused Fury of trying to change it from 180lb to 185lb and admitted the fight could be axed because of it.
And in response, Fury said on Instagram: "Just a few things to clear up; KSI's only just agreed to do drug testing for this fight.
"Took his time with that one. And now he's complaining about the weight. This fight's at 185, take-it-or-leave it.
"I know you're a midget and you're worrying about the weight but get some more food down you and you'll get there.
"If you just don't want to fight, I know somebody who will fight in October, somebody who is ready to fight and will get to 185.
"Jake Paul, if you want to run it back, let's do it, fine by me. I'll knock you spark out this time. So let me know boys."
Fury, 24, beat Paul, 24, by split-decision in Saudi Arabia but the American snubbed a rematch.

He instead returns on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, but he is ready to face his rival just two months after.
Paul tweeted: "I’ve asked my team to send tommy fury the contract for rematch as early as October.
"Need to handle business on August 5 and then we run it. 185 pounds. 10 rounds. Simple."
KSI, 30, has given Fury till Monday to sign the current contract, which states the bout must take place at 180lb.
He said: “Tommy, I think you need to realise who the f*** you’re talking to.
"I don’t need to do this. I don’t need to fight. I choose to fight. So I want you to listen you delusional piece of s***.
"You’re disrespecting me and that’s p*****g me off. Sign the contract as it is or else I’m fighting someone else.
"I’m tired of this back and forth with your stupid-ass team, and I damn well know that you’re not going to be getting that type of money anywhere else, not even Saudi Arabia.
"You have until Monday, July 3, 6pm. to sign the contract. If you don’t sign it, I’m moving on, that’s that.
