KSI and Tommy Fury both earn thousands of pounds from ‘fake’ followers through their Instagram sponsored post, a new study has found.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The social media stars are due to meet in the ring at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday in a hotly anticipated grudge match after long trading jibes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tensions continue to rise between the two fighters, with KSI – given name Olajide Olatunji – goading the former Love Island star’s father, John during Wednesday’s open workout.\u00a0<\/p>\n
KSI spat at Fury Snr from a balcony and although he missed the target, he had to dodge out of the way of a bottle thrown in his direction in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With anticipation at a fever pitch, the contest is likely to attract a legion of pay-per-view spectators – but beyond what they stand to earn in the fight, which is yet to be revealed, both KSI and Fury make a large portion of their income via sponsored social media posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Former Love Island star Fury has grown his profile as a professional boxer via Instagram<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Both he and KSI can command enormous sums from sponsored posts on the popular platform<\/p>\n
However, as per data shared by Casino Alpha, considerable percentages of what KSI and Fury make from their sponsored Instagram posts is generated by fake accounts – for the former, this accounts for almost a quarter of his following.\u00a0<\/p>\n
24.9 per cent of the Prime entrepreneur’s 13.2m followers have been identified in the data as fake accounts, which translates to \u00a312,013 of his potential Instagram earnings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
KSI could make up to a mammoth \u00a349,460 per post after building up his personal brand on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By comparison, Fury’s potential Instagram earnings per sponsored post sits at around \u00a324,892.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, a much smaller percentage of his 5.4m followers are fake – 10.92 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This percentage translates to about \u00a32,718 of his earnings generated by bot accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whilst KSI may rake in higher sums from his social media status, the 30-year-old seems quick to put his earnings to use, shelling out an estimated \u00a340,000 on ‘the world’s most expensive mouthguard’ to sport on Saturday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The piece – emblazoned with the logo of his sports drink – is encrusted with diamons and 24-carat gold leaf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The YouTuber’s confidence has also been gold-plated ahead of the showdown, with KSI boasting on Tuesday that success in training has put him on a ‘different level’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s kind of weird, but I honestly feel like at the end of camp I could fight anyone and give it a good f****** go,’ said KSI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether it’s Canelo, whether it’s (Dmitry) Bivol, whether it’s (Artur) Beterbiev, anyone. I just feel like I’m on a different level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
KSI has spent big in preparation for the contest – including investing in a pricey mouthguard<\/p>\n
‘But, that’s just the training, obviously I know in reality if I fight these guys, technically they’re way better than me and they know how to beat me,’ he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Going into the bout, KSI has seen his TKO victory over Joe Fournier overturned, with the result changed to a ‘no decision’ following a post-fight review in his last fight.<\/p>\n
‘The Nightmare’ appeared to have ended the contest in the second round. However, replays showed the knockout blow had come from a forearm – with PBA deciding that the elbow was accidental, therefore changing the result.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Professional boxer Fury comes to Saturday off the back of a split-decision win against Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia in February 2023.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
