TOMMY FURY is set for an awkward reunion with KSI and Darren Till when brother Roman fights Chase DeMoor.
Tommy controversially beat KSI on points in October 2023 and pulled out of his return bout against Till set for January.
But he could be about to run into the pair after it was announced his brother Roman will take on American DeMoor on the Misfits 21 card.
Headlining is KSI against rival Dillon Danis with Till facing ex-UFC star Darren Stewart on the undercard.
Roman will be making his Misfits debut and will expectedly be cornered by dad John and 10-0 Tommy.
A back and forth started after Roman, 28, posted on Instagram: “This fool is finally getting put to sleep.”
DeMoor, who starred on Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, replied: “I’m shivering in my boots egg head.”
Tommy, 25, also commented: “Easy work.”
By DeMoor, 28, jibed: “Your ex gf easy work buddy.” A reference to Tommy’s break-up with Molly-Mae Hague.
Roman is 4-0 in his career with DeMoor having four wins, four losses and one no-contest.

Tommy beat KSI and underwent hand surgery afterwards before a scheduled return against Till.
But after Till threatened to KICK the 2019 Love Islander in the head, he pulled out of the bout.
Tommy still has not got a comeback fight lined up while KSI, 31, and Till, 32, will return on the same card.
LUKE LITTLER has made a hilarious change to his Facebook profile in the wake of his World Darts Championship win.
The 18-year-old banked £500,000 after being crowned world champion last month.
Littler beat rival Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the Ally Pally final.
And now the Nuke has changed his Facebook profile to reflect his victory.
Littler switched his profile picture to an image of himself looking nervous on stage.
He then captioned the photo with: “Receiving 500 thousand pounds…”
The world champ then shared the change on Instagram and wrote: “Thought my Facebook needed a new profile picture 
.”
Littler was left furious last Thursday after being knocked out of Premier League Darts week three in the quarter-finals.
He suffered a 6-4 defeat to Gerwyn Price in Dublin.
And as he walked off down the stairs for the exit door, he furiously launched his darts equipment away and moaned under his breath.
Littler appeared to be frustrated by the fact Price was slowing down the rhythm of the game.
After the match, Price said: “I want to be a tough nut to crack for every player.
“That’s what I used to be. Maybe two or three years ago I was but since then, I’ve slipped off the radar.
“I’m coming back. I probably wouldn’t have won that game without the crowd. They were fantastic for me.
“It was like Cardiff all over. I think they feel sorry for us Welsh rugby players.
“My game is in a great place. My mind is in a good place.”
Here is all the prize money Luke Littler has won so far after being crowned 2025 PDC World Darts Championship winner:
World Championship 2025 – £500,000
World Championship 2024 – £200,000
Grand Slam of Darts 2024 – £150,000
European Tour – £91,000
Player Championships events – £71,500
Players Championship final runner-up – £60,000
UK Open 2023 + 2024 – £17,500
World Matchplay – £10,000
World Grand Prix – £7,500
European Championship – £7,500
(Unranked) Premier League Darts – £315,000
TOTAL: £1.43 million
NEW flights to Thailand are being launched by a low-cost airline this year from the UK.
Norse Airways has confirmed plans to start a new route from London Gatwick to Bangkok in Thailand.
The budget carrier launched in 2022, replacing WOW Air which went bust in 2019.
Offering cheap long-haul flights from the UK, the new route will start from October 26 with four services a week.
One-way fares start from £295pp although we found some for as little as £203pp when travelling in March 2026.
This is much cheaper than the current cheapest fares starting from £438 with Thai Airways.
Other airlines with direct UK to Bangkok flights include Singapore Air, Emirates and British Airways, with return fares around £700 (compared to Norse’s £527pp).
Of course passengers will have to pay for all the extras on top, as the cheapest fare doesn’t include luggage or meals.
However, the new budget route will make it much cheaper to visit Thailand’s capital city.
The airline’s founder Bjørn Tore Larsen said they were “thrilled” to launch their first Asian destination.
They added: “We’re excited to launch direct flights between London Gatwick and Bangkok, a top choice among our travelers.
“This addition not only strengthens our existing network between Asia but also builds on our routes from London Gatwick to destinations across the Atlantic and South Africa.
“For us it’s all about offering more travel options at great prices without compromising on comfort and service for those looking to enjoy a beautiful and warm winter sunshine destination.”
Passengers will fly on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with either economy or premium economy options.
Thailand was named a top travel destination this year by Travel + Leisure, with both British Airways and TUI also launching new flights in response.
It also recently featured in the new White Lotus series.
And Norse Atlantic already have an number of other low-cost, long-haul routes in the UK including to New York.
New last year was a London Gatwick to Las Vegas flight, with one-way fares as little as £163.
And a new London Gatwick to Cape Town route launched last year as well, starting from £499.
However, the airline has also confirmed they would be scrapping a UK route this summer as well.
The Sun’s Assistant Travel Editor Sophie Swietochowski recently visited Bangkok.
The street-food stalls in Chinatown offer plenty of dishes for less than the equivalent of £1 in local currency Thai baht.
While in Chinatown, also enjoy a night out in the nearby Soi Nana district where many once traditional shops have been transformed into fashionable bars.
But one thing worth spending a bit more money on in Bangkok is a cocktail at the Lebua Hotel’s Sky Bar, which many will recognise as a filming location from 2011 buddy comedy film The Hangover 2.
A cocktail, including the Hangovertini, a whisky treat made with rosemary, honey and apple, will set you back £30 or so.
But you can order just one and stay for the skyline views that are Bangkok’s best.
I also scored a couple of nights at the Shangri-La Bangkok hotel as part of a British Airways Holiday package.
Rooms cost around £450 less per night than at the sister hotel in London but are just as opulent.
The London Gatwick to Miami route will no longer operate from October 26.
Brits will still be able to fly with both Virgin Atlantic and British Airways who have flights to Miami from London Heathrow.
