Who dares to question the prowess of KSI in the boxing ring? Apparently, it’s a man who stands at just 5’6 and weighs in at 168lb. Anthony ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor, a fighter at Misfits Boxing, has set the boxing community abuzz with a statement as bold as a right hook. Known for his compact stature and explosive speed, Taylor has thrown a verbal punch that could rival any physical one.

In a tweet as startling as it was audacious, he claimed to be the solitary threat to KSI within the ranks of his own promotion. Now, Taylor isn’t a man known for his humility, but this assertion has the potency to stir a tempest. Boxing enthusiasts might be scratching their heads, wondering whether this is just another attempt to steal the limelight, or if there is a substantial bite to Taylor’s bark. As he finds himself at the heart of an ensuing frenzy, the stakes of his claim are high. Can ‘The Pretty Boy’ back up his talk, or will he be left eating his words in the boxing ring?

Taylor’s controversial tweet acted as a powder keg within the boxing community, as he stated, “I’m the only fighter on @MisfitsBoxing who poses a threat to @KSI and I’m only 5’6 168lb🤣🤣🤣🤣”. This audacious claim from Taylor, considering his unimposing stature, set the stage for a flurry of fan reactions.

One Twitter user, Don Juan, harshly refuted Taylor’s assertion, saying, “Even if you did, which you don’t, you are hands down the most boring fighter on Misfits. The only time you did anything was to a debutant in Rak Su. Might as well void every other win as a ‘scraped to a decision’.”

In contrast, one user stood behind Taylor, positing, “KSI doesn’t know how to fight someone that wants to fight back 🤷🏽‍♂️ @anthony_foreal you’d give him the toughest fight he’s ever had.”

One user threw another name into the ring, tersely stating, “Slim exists bro.”

A user named Pascal proposed a new challenge outside of Misfits, stating, “Nunes should be a good opponent. He isn’t on Misfits, but he can face KSI if he wins Kingpyn.”

Another user added a strategic twist to the discussion, suggesting, “KSI would probably not fight you right now, you’d have to fight @Deji probably and then call KSI out. He will always wanna revenge his brother.”
