The match will not be registered as an official boxing fight and will not be sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control.
Fury has already fought an YouTuber in the face of Jake Paul back in February in Saudi Arabia.
KSI does not have much experience, but has fought in a variety of exhibition bouts, twice taking on Paul’s brother Logan.
The 24-year-old Fury showed real confidence by claiming the upcoming fight will not be an issue saying:
“All that is left for me to do is send this man to sleep. I’ll do that inside four rounds.”
However, KSI was quick to respond, stating that he is to “silence all the doubters that believe I have no chance” in what he says is “the toughest fight in the influencer boxing scene”.
Fury is on a streak of 9 unbeaten fights, 4 of which have been with a knockout.
