KSI is coming off with a controversial victory against billionaire Joe Fournier. The public opinion of him, in regard to boxing, might be running too low right now. However, it seems the co-owner of PRIME has already set his eyes on a bigger target. This time he is targeting Floyd Mayweather Jr. who has already faced his brother Deji and Logan Paul in an exhibition bout. It seems KSI also desires a payday as he called out Mayweather recently.

Boxing reporter Michael Benson shared what KSI had to say about one of the greatest in the game. The YouTuber-turned-boxer claims that he thinks that he will knock Mayweather out. Moreover, he thinks he has a “great chance at beating him [Mayweather]”. JJ believes that he will have “the timing on him.” Although he acknowledged that “In his prime, I [KSI] would have no chance.” However, his statement has managed to earn the ire of a lot of fans. Many fans have shared their responses very bluntly.

In a recent turn of events, YouTube sensation turned boxer KSI has ignited a firestorm among fans with his audacious assertion that he would knock out boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in a potential bout. The announcement has stirred up a flurry of reactions on social media, with fans expressing their skepticism and frustration.

One fan, bluntly called for an end to what they perceived as a fraudulent claim. They asked Tommy Fury to “end this fraud once and for all”.

Another fan, Daniel humorously suggested that Mayweather would have “enough timing to beat KSI when he’s 90”.

However, one fan believes KSI has got a chance. He pointed out that his brother Deji had given Mayweather a black eye, so JJ definitely has a chance in this fan’s opinion.

Another fan, Donny quoted JJ saying he will have the timing on Mayweather. He made a witty remark that before, during, after, or while drinking his prime, JJ wouldn’t even be able to land an elbow on Mayweather. This refers to KSI’s last fight where he knocked out Joe Fournier with an illegal elbow.

One user humorously suggested that “Floyd too easy for ksi. Ksi should take on Canelo”
