Social media sensation KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – goes into his showdown with Tommy as a huge underdog.<\/p>\n
But to say he's brimming with confidence ahead of the Manchester melee would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

KSI quickly revealed that bookmakers will allow him to bet on himself, just not the eyewatering figure he wants to lay down.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old said: "First of all, a lot of the things, trying to put in that amount, just won\u2019t let me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re like 5k maximum.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI can bet on myself. I just can\u2019t bet on the round.<\/p>\n
"So, yeah I think I\u2019m going to have to try and find a way to do it through people or I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Former Love Island star Fury goes into his punch-up with KSI on the back of a split-decision win over Jake Paul in February.<\/p>\n
And he hopes a demolition of KSI will put an end to the influencer boxing scene once and for all.<\/p>\n
He told Sky Sports: \u201cThat\u2019s my plan for this year. <\/p>\n
"I want to end YouTube boxing within twelve months. So that\u2019s my plan. So we\u2019ll see."<\/p>\n
