Tommy Fury has visited the barbers for a haircut and a facial treatment as he freshens himself up for his huge grudge match with KSI this weekend.<\/p>\n
The former Love Island star is heavily backed as the favourite for his highly-anticipated but with the YouTube star-turned-boxer at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Their feud took another step on Wednesday during the public workout sessions, in which KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – spit at Tommy’s dad John.<\/p>\n
Tommy, half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson, allowed himself some downtime from training, as he was pictured having a pamper at Fade Master Barbers in Cheshire.<\/p>\n
He was seen getting a facial treatment with a trim to his beard, as well as a haircut, before he left the barbers with a new fresh look – less than 48 hours before the day of his big fight.<\/p>\n

Fury’s public workout session was the scene of carnage on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
After working up a sweat on the pads, Tommy sat down for an interview with his dad, but their conversation was interrupted by KSI goading his opponent from the overlooking balcony.<\/p>\n
The YouTuber-turned-boxer refused to stop, and Fury Snr finally ran out of patience. Getting to his feet, he threw a bottle up towards the balcony, forcing KSI to duck for cover.<\/p>\n
Having avoided being hit by the bottle, KSI then leaned over the balcony and spat in John’s direction.<\/p>\n
He failed to find his target, but angry words were exchanged between the pair as tensions continue to rise ahead of Saturday’s main event.<\/p>\n
John is no stranger to getting involved in his son’s fights in some way, shape or form.<\/p>\n
He was also nearly involved in a fight with Jake and Logan Paul’s dad, Greg, during the eventful open workout.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Wednesday’s open workouts had been completed, John took centre stage and began to shout ‘I’ll wipe the floor with all of you’ into a large group of people, later on in the day after his angry exchange with KSI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Greg seemed to take John’s words as a direct challenge and could be heard responding: ‘Come on John, let’s go!’<\/p>\n
John was in no mood to back down, replying ‘If you think you can take it, Greg Paul, hey, I’ll let you hit me first!’<\/p>\n
Greg hit back with a crude comment that proved the final straw for Fury Snr who started to approach Greg aggressively, forcing security to step in.<\/p>\n
John was urged to ‘calm down’ by heavyweight contender Derek Chisora, but he appeared reluctant to listen as he vowed to ‘tear his f*****g head off’.<\/p>\n

Ever.’<\/p>\n His girlfriend Molly-Mae – who he met on the hit ITV dating show – hailed his appearance as ‘absolutely insane’ while other fans were also left impressed, with some calling him a ‘tank’ and a ‘beast’.<\/p>\n But KSI was left unmoved by the picture, instead using it to poke fun at his rival.<\/p>\n ‘Will make it so much funnier when I knock him out,’ the Youtuber wrote on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n Both Fury and KSI hold undefeated records going into their bout on Saturday, adding extra spice to the much-anticipated bout.<\/p>\n Logan Paul’s fight with Dillon Danis will co-headline this weekend’s show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
