Who is KSI fighting next?
KSI has revealed that he would like to face one of Tommy Fury, Jake Paul, Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather Jr next.
“I think the Jake [Paul] fight…” he told SportBible when asked what it would take for him to return to the ring. “The Tommy [Fury] rematch. There could always be [Floyd] Mayweather and Conor McGregor. Has to be top tier.”
The social media star also refused to rule out a fight against Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, after rumors of a bout with the Premier League icon took the internet by storm.
Regardless of who he fights next, KSI has made it clear that he is not looking to leave the result up to the judges.
“I know what I did wrong with the Tommy Fury fight,” he told Misfits Boxing. “I felt like I didn’t jab enough, I didn’t play the boxing game enough. I left it to the judges. This time, I don’t want to leave it to the judges. I want to knock out my opponents and I want to do it emphatically, every time.
“There’s definitely things I’ve learned from my previous loss and I can’t wait to get back into the ring and show everyone that I am the best.”
When was KSI’s last fight?
KSI last stepped into the ring against Tommy Fury back in October, 2023. The YouTuber lost the contest on what was initially awarded as a split decision victory for Fury, before eventually being amended to a unanimous win after one of the judge’s scorecards was added up incorrectly.
KSI attempted to have the result of the fight overturned, but his appeals fell on deaf ears as the verdict remained in place.
Speaking about the fight, KSI said, “I feel like I did what I wanted to do at the end of the day.
“I was this kid who was a YouTuber who had no right being in the ring with Tommy Fury. I showed the world that if you believe in yourself and work hard you can literally do whatever you want.”
KSI boxing record
KSI’s overall boxing record stands at 4-1-1: four wins, one defeat and one no contest.
His defeat to Fury and win against Logan Paul stand out as two of his most high-profile bouts. KSI also won against FaZe Temperrr, Luis Alcaraz Pineda and British rapper Swarmz.
The YouTube star also appeared to claim victory against Joe Fournier as he was awarded the win on the night. But the bout would eventually be deemed as a no-contest after it emerged that KSI’s opponent was caught with an elbow during the fight.
