Tommy Fury recently defeated KSI but still claims he has world title ambitions.
Fury has moved from traditional boxing and into the influencer boxing scene and made a shed load of cash in the process whilst growing his stock and fame outside of professional boxing.

His brother and WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury recently said that any 175 or 200lbs champion would be ‘over the moon’ to fight Tommy due to his pulling power financially.
And speaking to Fox Sports Australia, Jai Opetaia spoke about Fury, saying:
“You know, boxing is my job. It’s how I put food on the table. So while Tommy Fury isn’t on my radar, if he wants to fight for a world title, sure, he can come and get it.
“I’ll happily beat the crap out of him and get straight back to chasing those belts. I’ve never watched him live, no, but I’ve seen a few clips on social media. And he’s not s***.”
“The guy knows what he is doing and comes from a boxing family. But there are levels to this game, and I’m on the world champion level, fighting for world titles. He’s still got a long way to go to get there. But if he wants to have a crack, wants to come to Australia and put on a big fight, let’s do it.”
Opetaia boasts a record of 23-0 (18KOs) and is the current IBF Cruiserweight champion. So Fury may want to stay in the influencer scene for a while.
Kai knows he will be on a massive payday.
