TOMMY FURY has vowed to "END" YouTube boxing by taking down KSI and Jake Paul.

The 2019 Love Islander handed social media star-turned prizefighter Paul his first defeat in February.

But the American, 26, opted to forgo a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.

So Fury, 24, and KSI, 30, have decided to turn their attention to each other with talks ongoing for the two to fight.

Paul has claimed he will look to rematch his celebrity boxing rival next February, exactly one year on from his split-decision loss in Saudi Arabia.

So that falls right into Fury's 12-month plan to KO the new school crossover boxing era which has divided opinions.

He told Sky Sports: "Everybody knows what's next for me, it's being teased at the minute.

"Hopefully we can get this KSI fight over the line and I'll knock off another YouTuber.

"That's my plan for this year. I want to end YouTube boxing within 12 months.

"So that's my plan. So we'll see. I don't know. I just take it one fight at a time. All these guys are the same to me.

"There's not one that stands out from the rest. They're all about the same. So anyone can get it. I'm not bothered.

"I'm used to, growing up fighting against proper boxers. These guys are a bit of a joke."

KSI was last in the ring in May in what turned out to be a no-contest after an accidental but illegal elbow knocked out Joe Fournier, 40.

He went face to face with Fury afterwards and both camps have confirmed that a deal is imminent.

Fury said: "I've said my hitlist. Jake Paul's already been struck off, KSI is next.

"Then from what I've seen the other day Jake Paul wants it again in February. Listen, I'm happy. I'm happy keep these fights rolling in."
