Note that a kg of fat contains about 9000 calories, while a kg of sugar contains about 4000 calories, so this is really a startling claim, if true

It is about more than just the calorie content of the food.
Unless your digestive system is hyperactive, a lot of this huge glob of fat will likely just pass right through without being absorbed into your bloodstrean.
The refined sugar is virtually guaranteed to fully hit your bloodstream and right now. It's enough to send some people into a life threatening diabetic coma.
After eating a pound of fat, you may want a nap but dying from it is extremely unlikely.
It's not given the ratios
OP should have said for calorie-adjusted intake sugar is more fattening.
