With KSI confirming that he\u2019ll fight again in January on a boxing card that will also include Logan Paul, plenty of fans have been looking to see who he might face this time around. There have been rumors about Joe Fournier, a businessman-turned-boxer with a 9-0-1 (No Contest) record. Though, the British YouTuber has also been crowdsourcing ideas as well. Back in mid-September, he put out a poll, asking fans if they\u2019d want to see him fight Tyron Woodley, Dillion Danis, Doctor Mike, or Slim Albaher. Mike \u2018Doctor Mike\u2019 Varshavski might not be the most recognizable name to some KSI fans \u2013 seeing as he did finish last in the voting \u2013 but the YouTuber has made waves in the boxing world. He beat iDubbbz back in May on the Creator Clash card, and he\u2019d be willing to tear it up with KSI too. Doctor Mike shocked KSI named him as potential opponent The YouTuber, who has over 10 million subscribers on the platform and focuses on health content, told Mirror Fighting that he was shocked his name came up on the poll, but he\u2019s glad he\u2019s getting some recognition for his skills. \u201cI was surprised, just because KSI and I have never really had any interaction,\u201d the YouTuber said. \u201cI think his team sees that we\u2019re taking this seriously, they understand the value that we bring with the huge social media following that we have.\u201d Varshavski did note that he might get \u201cmore opportunities\u201d if he can put in a \u201cgreat showing\u201d against Chris Avila on the Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva undercard. Seeing as KSI eventually wants to fight Jake, there\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019ll at least keep an eye on the event and how things go down. Should Mike continue his winning streak, he\u2019ll put himself in the conversation for bigger fights, and it\u2019d certainly be interesting to see him in there with KSI \u2013 should it ever happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctor Mike \u201csurprised\u201d by KSI naming him as potential boxing opponent YouTube: Doctor Mike\/KSIYouTuber Doctor Mike has revealed his surprise at being named on a poll from KSI about his next potential boxing opponent.
