Ahead of his fight with Joe Fournier, KSI publicly declared that he looked forward to fighting three opponents before retiring from boxing. The YouTuber-turned-boxer stated that he would fight the winner of the Kingpyn tournament, Tommy Fury, and Jake Paul before hanging his gloves up. In addition to that, KSI even vowed to “sh*t” on Paul’s boxing career with massive victories.

After he won his fight with Fournier, KSI called out Tommy Fury. Occupying the center of the ring, face-to-face with ‘TNT’, KSI declared that he would do what Jake Paul could not execute. With faith in his boxing abilities, he confidently announced, “I wanna do what Jake Paul couldn’t – knock you [Fury] out.” Eventually, the bout between Fury and KSI was confirmed and scheduled for October 14th. While fans now look forward to seeing KSI share the ring with Tommy Fury, the CEO of Misfits Boxing suggests a potential retirement from the sport immediately after his bout with ‘TNT’.

According to recent statements by KSI, the YouTuber-turned-boxer seems ready to move on from boxing. With a potential victory against Tommy Fury, KSI feels he would prove himself a better boxer than Jake Paul in the ring. Hence, even without a fight with ‘The Problem Child’, the CEO of Misfits Boxing now feels he is good enough to quit boxing and “go back to music” after defeating Fury. In a recent statement, KSI declared, “I feel like that’s gonna be my final fight [with Tommy Fury]. I just don’t see the Jake Paul fight happening.

Although KSI is undefeated and has won four of his fights via knockout, he has not yet competed against a professional boxer in the ring. Tommy Fury would be the first pro boxer that KSI would meet. While KSI contemplates retirement after a victory against Fury, the latter believes fighting KSI is “easy money”. However, to know the outcome, fans would have to tune in for the fight.
