KSI vs. Tommy Fury Betting Tips: Best bets for Misfits headliner

In arguably the biggest ever influencer/crossover event, "Judgement Day" will be declared for one of KSI or Tommy Fury on Saturday 14th October.
DAZN have made real headway in the sport merging Misfits' offering into a schedule alongside their more traditional programming. The organisers of this particular card have cracked the code with their marketing this time around, scaling up interest outside of the usual crowd that tune into Misfits promotions to provide mass appeal for this influencer event.
Having overcome the weight of expectation baked into his crossover fight with Jake Paul earlier this year, Tommy Fury may have found a new home for his boxing exploits moving forwards. The money on offer to fight KSI is simply too generous to turn down for the half-brother of the heavyweight champion of the world, but whether he sticks around for future bouts beyond this fight in Manchester remains to be seen.
For Olajide Olayinka Williams - known by his online name KSI - this could also be his final foray in the influencer scene. The YouTuber allegedly has no further boxing ambitions beyond fighting Fury, although it's difficult to look beyond a future clash with Jake Paul no matter the outcome of his dance with "TNT" this weekend.
Bookmakers have learned from their mistakes in February and have appropriately priced Tommy Fury as the odds-on favourite in this meeting. KSI fans will be sure to have a field day with the 3/1 on offer, while a draw has been positioned as a 14/1 punt.
KSI vs Tommy Fury Tips
This pair will both enter the ring carrying an abundance of confidence. KSI was one of the pioneers of this online YouTube movement back when a career on the platform was deemed unimaginable - along with his influence in starting the influencer boxing - and has a wealth of experience dealing with pressure and drowning out external noise.
In Tommy's case, carrying the weight of the Fury name and in many ways the integrity of the sport on his shoulders against Jake Paul clearly took its toll, but that will have also equipped him with the tools for dealing with all aspects of this fight promotion.
If we can deduce one thing about this fight it's that both will be fearless in their approach. Both have talked up a big game as expected, but we're buying into the idea that both will be more than happy to stand and bang.
KSI's previous fights have taught us that he is more than game to use his unorthodox fighting style to close the distance and throw wild looping shots in search of scoring the knockout. Fury, who is ranked as a professional, may find his opponent's stance and punch selection somewhat difficult to box against, meaning he'll likely be willing to engage in a fire fight with his counterpart instead of playing things safe.
If both fighters let their hands go like we expect them to, then Saturday's scrap will deliver an explosive finale inside the distance for one of the two fighters.
KSI is undoubtedly a live dog in this fight. That being said, we, like the majority of opinions, can't look past Tommy Fury claiming the victory on Saturday night.
TNT is a safe bet for a reason: he was born into the sport, has trained his whole life with guys bigger than him, and has the boxing credentials to practice what he preaches against a novice like KSI.
For all of KSI's heart, Tommy can provide an answer to him by simply executing the fundamentals well. "JJ" has had a fast and loose boxing education since stepping into the ring for that initial bout with Joe Weller in February 2018. However, the same things that could be seen as putting a ceiling on his accomplishments in the sport will also be his greatest asset for fighting Fury.
We don't envisage either fighter taking many backwards steps across these six rounds, which is sure to translate into a knockout conclusion. Although Tommy has been accused of not preparing for KSI as seriously as his opponent deems necessary, he won't be as gun-shy as he appeared to be when facing Jake Paul.
If Tommy has learned anything from that fight in Saudi Arabia it'll be to ensure this fight does not see the final bell. That's why we're taking up bet365's offer of 6/5 for a knockout or technical knockout victory for TNT on Saturday.
