After this weekend, KSI seems to be on top of the world.
On Sunday, Jake Paul suffered the first defeat of his boxing career, losing a split decision to Tommy Fury in their long-awaited bout. Although Paul did score a knockdown in the final round, he struggled to handle Fury’s jab and combinations for most of the fight and generally struggled to lead a consistent offense. And no one was more happy about this than KSI.
Tweeting during the fight and then after the official decision was announced, the British YouTuber made good, old-fashioned gloating at Paul’s expense, making fun of Paul’s performance and claiming he would make short work of his fellow boxer on YouTube.
Jake Paul is trying to copy my rebound. The funny thing is that he has no idea what he’s doing with it.

Honestly, I would destroy both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.

“Hey, you! [Mimics smoking] Oh! Don’t mind me, I’m just smoking that pack of Jake Paul! Honestly, Jake Paul, trash! Tommy Fury, trash! [Cackling laughter]”
As two of the biggest names in the “influencer boxing” scene, KSI has been fighting Paul for some time, calling Paul a “fraud” and saying that he wanted to be the one to expose the “Problem Child”. Paul, meanwhile, had previously said that he was losing interest in the fight because KSI has yet to beat anyone with any martial arts experience, knocking out other influencers instead. And that interest waned further after his loss as Paul said he intended to immediately invoke the rematch clause for another hit on Fury.
However, the timing could still work out as KSI has previously said they want to face Paul in December at the Cardiff stadium. Until then, he will have to overcome his own hurdles as he sets his sights on May’s boxing bout with either Tyron Woodley or Joe Fournier, each of which will be a step forward for him in the competition. Meanwhile, KSI seems to be just enjoying Tommy Fury’s great win.

“Jake! See, the problem with you, man, the reason you lost is because you didn’t drink Prime, baby. [Cackling laughter] I remain a winner! I keep winning bitch!

I never hated @jakepaul but now is the time to calm down all the haters. Lose and come back, that’s what makes you a fighter.

You guys are clowns and jokes @jakepaul It’s funny you guys tried to build support by talking about how badly fighters get paid. How many fighters were involved in this shitty deal? Don’t worry, I’ll wait….. Come home and make a video. #rich losers https://t.co/lqZxeqH0SJ

Tyron Woodley’s reaction to KSI.
Comes from someone who won’t risk fighting anyone! Got into a fight with two guys in one night instead of me. Sent me a deal and got Dillon. Dillon pulled you out named Tempur. @jakepaul tied up in a rematch. Let your eggs finally fall! @xi May 12 Abu Dhabi, what excuse?! https://t.co/yHB0qcqhzv

The person should be trolling at this point.
Man, I just watched my Thiago Santos fight again. I think it’s crazy that you guys think Gein is the most technical kickboxer I’ve ever come across. Everything Thiago did had bad intentions. The dude had lightning speed, power, explosive power. Crazy versatility.

Ghana’s last three opponents had terrible defense. These guys couldn’t stop the blow even if their lives depended on it. In his last three fights, he fought boxers with flat feet.
— BONY (@JonnyBones) February 27, 2023
The best wrestler he ever fought was Francis, that’s wild

No offense to my boy Derek Lewis, I love Derek.

I like it. Simple, easy to remember.
