KSI and Tommy Fury are now ‘very close’ to confirming their fight
Tommy Fury and KSI have agreed upon a fight weight
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 it could be axed because of it.
KSI set a deadline on Monday to get the deal done and on the same day his promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed the weight was agreed upon.
Sauerland tweeted: “CONFIRMED: weights agreed today for @KSI v @tommytntfury….very close now!”
Fury did insist the weight had to be 185lb or else he would walk away to focus on a rematch with Jake Paul.
He said: “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.”
KSI appeared to bite the bullet and accepted the weight – so long as there is an on the day weigh in too.
He tweeted: “Tommy, I wanna KO your ass so badly that I’ll come up in weight and do 185 lbs if you agree to do the weigh in on the morning of fight day.
“Nice fair fight. If not you will forever be known as Tommy Ducky.”
For KSI’s last fight against nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, it was at 180lb.
But there was a 10lb rehydration clause, meaning the two could not go over 190lb for the second weigh in just hours before the bout.
KSI, 30, went on to knock out Fournier, 40, with an accidental but illegal elbow, with the result being overturned to a no-contest.
But a rematch was snubbed so he could turn his attention to Fury, 24, who in February beat KSI’s YouTube rival Paul, 26, in Saudi Arabia.
