Last Saturday night, KSI took on Tommy Fury in one of the most highly anticipated fights of the year. Unfortunately for KSI, he lost the fight via controversial unanimous decision. The YouTube sensation did not agree with the result, as he branded Tommy’s win a ‘robbery.’ But the fallout from the decision did not stop after the loss. Tommy’s father, John Fury, recently demanded £200,000 from KSI for his loss.

The loss against Tommy came as the first boxing career defeat for the YouTube personality. But to make matters worse, John Fury recently took to Instagram, sharing a couple of clips. In the first one, the clip showed John betting £200,000 on Tommy winning the fight, with KSI agreeing to it. Now that the result of the fight is out in the open, John reminded KSI of the bet in the second clip while demanding KSI to pay up.

John Fury asks KSI to be a man and pay up

In the second clip, John Fury asserted KSI owed him £200,000. “This is a quick video for KSI. You owe me 200,000 pounds,” Papa John said in the video. He then proceeded to remind KSI of the bet, “We had a bet, I want payin’.” In addition, Fury urged KSI not to emulate Jake Paul, who previously lost a fight to Tommy. “Don’t be like the other fella Jake Paul,” Fury said in the video.

Fury did not hold back, asking KSI to behave like a man and pay what he owes to John. “Be a man and pay your bets,” said Fury. What’s more, Fury asserted he possessed all the evidence of the betting taking place. “Live on the podcast, I have got all the evidence there, and we will put it all together,” claimed Fury. While the bet indeed happened, considering KSI’s claim of the decision being a ‘robbery,’ chances of a payout seem bleak. But KSI isn’t the only guy Papa John has called out after the event.

Papa Fury brands Mike Tyson as a Traitor

Tyson Fury is going to face Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. What’s more, the legendary former boxer Mike Tyson is training Francis for his fight against Tyson Fury. Having named his son after Mike Tyson, John did not like the idea of Mike training Francis. So, he decided to call the former heavyweight champion a “Traitor.”

While appearing in an interview with Fight Hub TV, the reporter inquired who John would like to fight. In response, John stated, “Mike Tyson. I’m going to the top of the tree. He’s a traitor, and I’m going to tell him in Saudi next week!” While the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou fight has created a substantial buzz in the boxing community, a fight between John and Mike would set the boxing world on fire.
