Tommy Fury’s hand hadn’t even been raised in victory during Sunday’s fight vs. Jake Paul and KSI was already speaking his mind on the bout, taking to Twitter to deliver his opinion to millions of followers.
When the fight was over, KSI posted several videos of himself in which he derided both fighters as “trash” and stated that he “would destroy both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.”
While there hasn’t yet been much backlash to KSI’s comments, at least one fighter isn’t buying the popular YouTuber’s bravado.
“KSI is full of s—, he would not beat Jake or Tommy let alone both of them on the same night. He can’t even beat me,” former Bellator fighter and crossover boxer Anthony Taylor said in an interview with Midnite.
Taylor said KSI has been avoiding a fight with him and expects a bout to be made with either Joe Fournier or Tyron Woodley instead — which he warned may not end well.
“He’s ducking me hard. I’m a realist, he won’t fight me. It will probably be Joe Fournier or Tyron Woodley,” he said.
“Tyron will be too much for KSI, my advice would be to steer clear of that. When KSI was in his bedroom making prank videos, Tyron was in the cage being a bad man, and even though he has more miles on the clock, Woodley would destroy KSI.
“Joe Fournier on the other hand looks like s— and hasn’t fought in years. He has a better chance against Fournier but stay away from Woodley. He was a UFC world champion with KO power and he’d knock KSI out.”
