My training camp for KSI was like PRISON without Molly-Mae and Bambi but I will make him PAY, vows emotional Tommy Fury
TOMMY FURY has vowed to make KSI pay for taking him away from his fiancee and baby daughter for ten weeks.
Fury made the ultimate sacrifice in training camp to fight YouTube superstar KSI on Saturday night in Manchester.
The 2019 Love Islander – who met partner Molly-Mae Hague on the TV show – spent over two months staying in a hotel away from his family.
Fury was only a short drive away from his £3.5million Cheshire mansion but he opted to instead live in solidarity while in camp.
He said: “Could have stayed at home for the full camp. Home is probably 15 minutes away from the camp, have I been going back? No.
“I’ve seen them once a week for the past ten weeks and that’s just because I want to zone in and concentrate.
“You have to make sacrifices in this game and who else – especially in this game – no one is doing that.
“They’re all around their missus’ in bed with their missus at night time, kissing and cuddling. I’ve had none of that.
“I’ve had it hard, living on my own, training on my own. I’ve got the best team in the world and I’m ready to show all the discipline and sacrifice on Saturday night.”
Fury likened his training camp hotel to a “fancy prison” having done nothing but eat, sleep and repeat his gruelling regime.
He said: “Honestly, the hotel is beautiful, can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for us.
“But, at the end of the day is I’d liken it to a fancy prison because all I’ve done for ten weeks is go to the gym, coming back, eating, sleeping and watching films.
“It’s a fancy prison, I’ve not done anything else. I’m in a razor, razor sharp mental state and ready to go out there and deliver a career-best performance.”
Tempers have threatened to boil over between Fury, 24, and KSI, 30, in the lead up to the DAZN PPV fight.
KSI was involved in an altercation with Fury’s dad John who threw a bottle at the social media star, who then retaliated by SPITTING his gum at him.
So after the bitter war of words, Fury is ready to let his fists do the talking when the rivals put bragging rights and reputations on the line.
He said: “KSI has done, said a lot of things and he’s going to have to pay for that Saturday night.
“I’m quietly calm, composed and ready to go. But he will pay for everything he’s said over this past ten weeks.”
