Recently, in the sideman podcast, a new build-up added a new angle to this storyline. While discussing Paul’s upcoming fight, the renowned YouTuber Mr. Beast confronted KSI.
He asked a question that put the Brit in a dilemma.
“I think why don’t you just box Paul?”, MrBeast asked.
After taking a little pause, KSI said, “I honestly think Anderson’s probably going to win.”
His remark was a proof that he did not want to talk about his fight with ‘The Problem Child’. This captured the attention of the Ohio based boxer. He shared that part of the podcast on his Instagram story and wrote, “Avoided the question so hard.”
Along with this, he added a few emojis of duck. Which symbolises, how KSI is ducking him.
