Tommy Fury will fight 'whoever has the most followers' after his boxing showdown with KSI tonight, according to his father, John.
The 24-year-old is currently preparing for tonight's blockbuster showdown at the AO Arena in Manchester.
Tommy has won all nine of his fights so far, including a memorable victory over Jake Paul earlier in the year.
KSI, however, won't be a pushover with the YouTube icon turning to the sport in recent years.

The 30-year-old is also yet to lose a fight, either.
Tommy is keen to live up to the Fury name and, because he has a boxing license, must win to truly make his mark in the sport.
And his father, John, has told the Daily Mail that his son will fight 'whoever has the most followers' once his battle with KSI is out of the way - which suggests he won't go back to regular boxing any time soon.
"Whoever's got the most Instagram followers, whoever's got the most Twitter followers!" he said when quizzed on Tommy's next opponent.
"Whoever they want to see Tommy fight he will fight. He'll fight Canelo Alvarez if he needs to, if the money's right.
"He's in the big leagues now. He's worked hard to be here and let's just keep racking them up and knocking them down.
"It's up to Tommy, if he wants to go back to conventional boxing that's up to him. If he does, it won't be about money.
"There are lads fighting for world titles that aren't getting anywhere near the money these guys are.
"It's a business and whoever put it together is a clever fella. All we do is agree on the business, turn up to fights.
"Misfits Boxing is very enjoyable stuff. There's no stress to it, there's no underhandedness to it.
"It's just a lot better, it's a lot fairer.
"Lads are coming to do the best they can and credit to them.
"The world love them, more than current world champions, so let's roll with it."
In the build-up to the fight, tempers have flared.
Fury was spat at by KSI after the 59-year-old had launched a bottle at his opponent.
KSI is confident he can spring a surprise and beat Fury, insisting he will knock Tommy out in front of the eyes of the world.
But Fury disagrees with that prediction and thinks the YouTuber will be left 'squawking like a chicken' after it's done.
"It's nice for him to dream - but he can keep dreaming," he continued.
"Good luck to the guy, he's coming to fight but there's no way he can beat Tommy.
"I don't care who he's trained with what his mindset's like, there's no way in the world he can win.
"It's nonsense, ludicrous that he can even think it.

"One man's been fighting all his life, messed around with the best fighter in the world, bred to fight.
"One's been doing some YouTubing and only been boxing five minutes. How can he win? Come on. Give your head a wobble.
"He might run round the ring squawking like a chicken and when Tommy catches up to him and knocks him out that's what's coming.
"Let him dream and talk big, enjoy the time because that's the only time he will be big.
"On Saturday night you will see the difference between a man who can fight and one who can't."
