But he said Paul, the man he has twice signed to face but pulled out both times, is the better of the duo.

Fury said on : "I have go to say it, Jake is better than KSI. KSI honestly, I think my mother could knock out KSI in a round.

"I'm telling you, when I watched him fight those two men - I wasn't even looking at the two men as they are useless - I was watching him and what he does as a boxer, he can't fight.

"There's some people in this world that are rough and ready, can fight, you know training and whatever. He can't fight.

"You look at KSI and I don't see a fighting man, I see a pretender, plays Fifa on YouTube, whatever he's famous for, I don't see anything."

KSI, 29, won his professional debut in 2019 after beating Paul's brother Logan, 27, by split-decision, a year after they drew.

And he returned in August after three years out and beat rapper Swarmz, 25, and Mexican journeyman Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the same night.

Paul, 25, meanwhile is now 6-0 after beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, who was his first opponent with recognised boxing experience.

Fury, 23, makes his return on November 13 in Dubai against 5-2 American Paul Bamba, 33, on Floyd Mayweather's undercard.

And he is open to fighting Paul or KSI in the future - potentially one after the other.

He said: "Both in the same night, preferably. Both in the same night, honestly.

"Let me tell you now, this is what I'm going to say and I haven't really spoke on the Jake Paul situation much in recent months.

"When you see me get in the ring with one of these guys, I don't know who it will be first, whether it's KSI or Jake Paul.

"You will see the definition of an easy night, you will see why I've been saying what I've been saying. These guys can't fight."
