The British YouTuber claimed that everyone including Fury was entitled to their opinion. However, in this case, he stated  that he would prove him wrong in the ring.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think his opinion is just wrong. He can say whatever he wants. When I get in the ring and show everyone how wrong he is it’s going to be fantastic.” he said.

KSI looks to be eager to prove ‘The Gypsy King‘ wrong and would like to do so in the ring. In addition, this could mean that we might see the two stars of influencer boxing finally meet in the ring.

However, KSI first needs to overcome his next opponent Dillon Danis on January 14.
