KSI believes that with his upcoming bout against Joe Fournier, he will “partly” achieve what his rival Jake Paul sought to gain against Tommy Fury. Hence, ahead of the bout on May 13th, the CEO of Misfits Boxing declared that he would eventually “sh*t” on Jake Paul’s whole boxing career. While this is the first time KSI is fighting a ranked boxer and one who has held “a belt in traditional boxing,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer acknowledged that Tommy Fury is still a tougher opponent in boxing.

According to KSI, a victory against both Fournier and Fury will assure him a place above Jake Paul in the sport. In his recent Seconds Out interview, KSI thus spoke about his goal and his views regarding Jake Paul fighting MMA athletes in boxing.

I think Tommy Fury is a tougher opponent. That’s why once I destroy Joe Fournier, I want to get through to Tommy Fury, destroy him, and then sh*t on Jake Paul’s whole boxing career,” KSI told Radio Rahim. On being asked about his fight with Paul, KSI stated Paul doesn’t want it. “He doesn’t want it. He ran away from all the boxers and decided to find MMA fighters and now wants to fight Nate Diaz,” KSI added.
