As KSI is returning to mainstream boxing, it’s pretty important for him to stay away from unnecessary injuries, and he knew that professional boxing demands the utmost fitness. That’s the main reason he wanted to opt himself out of the match and become a manager: to get rid of intense injuries and also to give maximum focus to boxing only.
