KSI wasted no time in slating both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury after their fight in Saudi Arabia, insisting he could beat either fighter.
A scrappy encounter saw Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson, come out on top, winning by split decision.

3 Both Fury and Paul have suggested they could run things back, something KSI wouldn’t be a fan of
Fury controlled the fight from the outset, however, he was in danger of throwing it away when his American opponent knocked him down in the final round.
There was a show of respect between both Paul and Fury post-fight, and they teased the prospect of a rematch in the future.

But it appears YouTuber KSI won’t be getting his pay-per-view for the potential rematch as his comments throughout Sunday evening suggest he feels the quality of the bout left a lot to be desired.
First up KSI made fun of Paul’s ringwalk, which saw him repeatedly bounce up and down on the ground, before making his way to the ring.
“Jake Paul tryna [sic] copy my bounce lmao,” KSI tweeted. “Funny thing is, he has no idea what he’s doing with it.”
As the fight entered its closing stages, KSI tweeted: “Honestly I would destroy both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury [crying laughter emoji].”

And then after Fury’s victory was confirmed, KSI posted a video on his social media saying: “Yo! Ahhhh don’t mind me, just smoking on that Jake Paul pack! Honestly, Jake Paul – trash! Tommy Fury – trash!”
In a later video, he added: “Jake. You see the problem with you man, the reason why you lost, is because you weren’t drinking Prime baby! I stay winning, I stay winning b****.”
KSI, who has a 4-0 record including a win over Paul’s older brother Logan, has made it clear he’s determined to beat the 26-year-old.

“My end goal is to fight Jake Paul, knock him out and end his whole journey,” KSI told talkSPORT in August 2022.

“I want to silence him once and for all and show everyone how much of a fraud he is when it comes to this whole YouTube boxing scene.
“I felt like I had to do more. I couldn’t just fight Swarmz, I need to really get rid of the ring rust and I guess one-up Jake Paul in a sense and that’s why I thought I’d fight a pro boxer as well as fighting Swarmz on the same night just to really push myself to the limit.

“I want to show everyone what I can do, show my stamina, show my work-ethic and show everyone I’m serious about this boxing scene.”
