KSI is still dreaming of renewing his rivalry with Tommy Fury while teasing fans he could fight in Alcatraz prison in the near future.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set for a promising 2025 in the squared circle, as part of a three-fight plan as uncovered by talkSPORT.com earlier this year.

He will first return against Dillon Danis in a surprise showdown on March 29 at the Co-op Arena in Manchester, in his first outing since controversially losing to Fury in October 2023.
Recently, ‘The Nightmare’ even met Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, with a view to a potential historic fight on the island site of the abandoned Alcatraz prison in San Francisco.
And as he prepares to embark on his latest annum of Misfits Boxing clashes, KSI revealed on talkSPORT Drive that it is looking more likely to happen by the day.
He giggled: “I’m not sure I should confirm it or whatever, but yeah.
“I could be fighting on Alcatraz, maybe. I can’t tell you bro, but June maybe.”
When asked about a potential sequel against Fury be in the pipeline in 2025, he insisted the terms must be different this time.
He continued: “I’d love a rematch with Tommy Fury. I’d love it.
“But for me this time, I’d like to make sure weight wise it is much more fair.
“I didn’t realise after the weigh-in that he had gained like 20lbs. And it was annoying me.
“The shots I was hitting him with, he was able to just eat them and carry on.
“I was there like ‘this guy has gained so much more weight’. So the weight we were meant to fight at, is what I was actually at.”
KSI and Fury previously met at a catchweight of 183lbs, with the latter cutting weight significantly to reach the target.
But he piled on the pounds and was nearer the cruiserweight limit by the time fight night rolled around.
The fight ended controversially with the crowd favourite largely taming the natural boxer in Fury but succumbing to defeat.
KSI vowed to appeal the decision but it came to no avail, with the scorecards actually extended to a wider unanimous decision margin in Fury’s favour.
He vowed to seek revenge, but has been suffering with a hand injury, so has faced a longer period out of the ring.
And he believes this time out, he would fare much better given he will be able to rectify his mistakes.
He said in a previous interview: “Now I’m in a position where I’m happy to be at 185 and I’m not gonna struggle to try and get to it.
“I remember when I had to weigh in, I had to drink a load of water just to try and make the weight just to try and get on to the scale and hit 185.
“I was very light when I was fighting Tommy. Whereas now you know, I’ve decided to put on a lot more muscle, get a bit bigger, stronger.
“And I feel like if we were to have a rematch, I’d just do ten times better.”
