YouTuber turned boxer KSI is gearing up for his highly anticipated match against English entrepreneur Joe Fournier, set to take place on May 13, 2023. ‘The ‘Nightmare’ will return to the ring after three months, last beating Faze Temprr back in January. This match will be his 7th fight in the squared circle and he will look to leave no stone unturned as he prepares for the fight.

Moreover, the British Youtuber even tried to mimic the workouts of one of the most ferocious boxers ever, Mike Tyson. In a recent open workout ahead of the fight, KSI can be seen imitating one of Tyson’s neck training regimes. The exercises included the infamous neck bridges that Iron Mike used to get a thick and strong neck measuring around 20 inches.

In addition, the fans were also quick to jump on and give their thoughts on KSI channelizing his inner ‘Iron Mike’.
