TYSON FURY wants brother Tommy to avoid a return to traditional professional boxing after his fight with Jake Paul.

The heavyweight champion has instead urged him to face Jake's brother Logan and KSI.


He told iFL TV: "When he beats Jake Paul I'd like to see him fight the brother Logan.

"If not Logan there may be a British celebrity boxing match like KSI, maybe.

"I was going to say another guy, but they're all a bit smaller."

KSI, 29, twice boxed Logan, 27, drawing their initial exhibition before winning their rematches as pros in 2019.

He has since won three more times, most recently knocking out YouTuber Faze Temperrr, 29, in January.

Logan is yet to make a boxing return since taking American legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, the distance in the June 2021 exhibition.

But brother Jake, 26, is now 6-0 but faces his first opponent with a recognised boxing record in Tommy, 23.

It is the THIRD time they look to settle the score after Tommy pulled out in the past amid injury and visa issues.

And Tommy is set to ignore brother Tyson's advice as he plans to return to traditional boxing after his celebrity grudge match.

He said to BT Sport: "At the end of the day, all of these lucrative fights that are out there, I'll clear up.

"But my soul goal since starting boxing has always been the same it's to be a world champion.

"And I do believe I've got what it takes to be there and get to that level.

"I do believe everyone writes me off because of Love Island, there's a lot of jealousy and a lot of stuff going on.

"I'm going to beat him and put and end to him once and for all.

"Then guess what? I'm going to get back on my route, win some titles and go down in history.

"Then, I'll bob my hat and I'll leave the sport. That's my goal."
