KSI has been slammed by fans for using a TikToker's appearance to taunt Tommy Fury ahead of their highly-anticipated fight.
The blockbuster showdown between YouTuber KSI and Fury, who beat Jake Paul in his last outing, is set for October 14 in Manchester.
There's bad blood between the pair, with KSI mocking his opponent - but the taunt has backfired as he's coming under scrutiny.
The 30-year-old took to social media to poke fun at Fury as he shared a video of a TikToker showing off his abs, biceps, and triceps, accompanied with the mocking caption: "Can’t lie, Tommy Fury has never looked better."

A second tweeted: "Why you making fun of disabled people."
A third added: "KSI really fell off."
A fourth said: "Making fun of people with disabilities is not ok."
Another commented: "You still got time to delete bro."

KSI, who boasts a victory over Logan Paul, hasn't fought since his controversial outing against Joe Fournier last May.
He scored a big win, but the result was overturned to a no-contest following the use of his elbow in the finishing sequence.
As for Fury, he recorded the ninth victory of his professional career when he out-pointed 'The Problem Child' in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last February.
He'll look to take out another internet celebrity when he takes on KSI.
