KSI, in particular, has a very bright career in the ring. He is currently undefeated with a 3-0 streak, which is very rare among newcomers. He has an impressive 67% knockout ratio and quite a strong punching ability.
With his natural talents and hard work, KSI has proven himself to be a worthy adversary in the ring. This great streak sometimes gets the best of him, compelling him to make some outrageous claims. Like that one time, when he claimed that he can defeat pop star Justin Bieber in a ring.
KSI claims that he can destroy Justin Bieber in a boxing ring
In 2019, KSI had an interview with Britain’s most popular morning talk show, Good Morning Britain. In the interview, the hosts asked many questions to KSI, who had recently won a boxing match against Logan Paul. Which is why they referred to him as “Champ”.
One of the hosts asked about the “Horribly large amounts of money” that KSI made by winning this match. In reply, KSI laughed hysterically for a few moments, looking a little nervous about the sudden question about money from the hosts. He said, “What can I say, I am a cash cow.” KSI is a famous individual, and it is no surprise that his fame helps him be a good medium for big companies to grab some quick buck!
In the interview, the hosts asked him if he would ever fight Logan Paul again in the ring. In reply, he said, “No”. He said that the particular chapter is closed and would never fight him again, but he mentioned that he was open to fighting other people.
Then, as the conversation went forward, the hosts asked him, now that he is a licensed boxer, what his plan was. KSI went with a list of people he would want to see in the ring. Until one of the hosts came forward and asked him if he wants to fight someone like Justin Bieber, to which he enthusiastically agreed. According to him, Justin doesn’t stand a chance against him. He would “destroy” him in the ring.

Does the YouTuber still wear the gloves?
KSI does enter the ring sometimes. Though he never got the chance to prove his humongous claim of beating Bieber in a match, he had some good matches in recent years. This year had a fight with Swarmz and breezed through the match with a round 2 TKO.
