Fury continued, A message for KSI: Enough with the fancy talk, jokes, and ridiculous bandanas. Whatever you choose to do... On October 14, his life will be in shambles. All of his singing, podcasting, and business ventures will come to an end. Mark my words he will leave Manchester Arena in an ambulance. I can confidently guarantee it.
