Social media sensation KSI – real name Olijade Olatunji – has yet to face a professional boxer in his brief stint in the sport.
But former WBA heavyweight king Haye reckons the internet mogul will leave Fury – the younger brother of Tyson Fury – with egg on his face.
He told JOE: “I think KSI beats him. Everybody just believes Tommy’s so much better.
“The best name on his record is Jake Paul, and that was a close fight in which he got knocked down.
“So it’s not like he has this depth of experience.
“I think everybody’s overrating Tommy and very much underrating KSI, and that gives KSI a massive advantage. I believe it’s gonna be a big shock.”
KSI, 30, goes into his clash with Fury on the back of a No Contest with Joe Fournier, who he knocked out with an illegal elbow.
But he’s brimming with confidence ahead of his Manny melee with Fury, who he plans to finish inside four rounds.

He said: “I’m feeling good, feeling confident and feeling ready.
“I’m going to just stand there and fight him, Jake ran away from Tommy’s combinations.
“I’m not running away, I’m standing in the middle of the ring and I’m fighting him.
“I’ve watched [Fury and Paul’s fight] many times, every angle on slo-mo, every stance, every little bit of detail that I need to know in order to beat Tommy Fury.
“Tommy has got some certain combinations that he likes doing that he’s pretty good at and we’re looking out for that.
“Obviously he’s a big guy that likes to clinch so we’re going to be watching that and we’re going to fight him.
“Just go in there and fight, go crazy, it’s simple.
“I’m going to test that chin and I’m going to show him that my power is different to Jake Paul.”
