IShowSpeed claps back at KSI amid fight speculation: \u201cI would win\u201d Youtube: IShowSpeed + JJ OlatunjiOvernight sensation and full-time drama fiend Darren \u2018iShowSpeed\u2019 Watkins Jr. has drummed up a new wave of interest. This time, claiming he\u2019d beat JJ \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji in a fight. With the livestream world being dominated by huge, outlandish actions, IShowSpeed has cracked the formula for creating buzz of late. This time, a video on KSI\u2019s YouTube channel has spawned another wave of attention. In the clip, 28-year-old JJ claims he would \u201cdecimate\u201d the 17-year-old Watkins Jr, before brushing it off and asking \u201che\u2019s what, 17? Why would I box a kid?\u201d This has drawn IShowSpeed\u2019s Ire. Responding to the claims, IShowSpeed took to his own livestream to declare \u201cIf me and KSI fought, I would win.\u201d Potentially as part of an early promotional cycle for IShowSpeed\u2019s undeclared fight as part the next Happy Punch Promotions bout of \u2018Influencer Combat Sports\u2019. SIGNED. Welcome to the team @IShowSpeed \ud83d\udc4a pic.twitter.com\/WETV5ymHiV \u2014 Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) April 12, 2022 Continuing his rant on stream, Darren called out KSI for having a \u201cdad body\u201d before asking chat to compare physiques. \u201cLook at my muscles, look at his muscles.\u201d This is comparing images of the 97kg\/213llb KSI to the 65kg\/143llb IShowSpeed. Doubling down on his statements Watkins Jr. goes on \u201cIt\u2019s just common sense.\u201d Regardless of whether the provocation from the incendiary minor was genuine, a fight between the two would be illegal until Jan 2023 at a minimum. With an 11-year age gap preventing anything even approaching a bout without landing KSI in legal hot water. In addition to the extensive age difference, a 30kg weight difference prevents the two from fighting in any organized weight class. Currently IShowSpeed sits as a bantamweight, with KSI as a light heavyweight. The two would respectively need to gain and drop, some serious muscle to find themselves in an acceptable midground. With the clear discrepancy between the two, and the joviality that exists between them, fans have taken the call out with a pinch of salt, claiming \u201cit\u2019s satire\u201d and \u201cclearly he\u2019s joking\u201d. Not all people are fans of the resurgence of IShowSpeed in general, with the streamer\u2019s recent sexist rant clearly firm in the internet\u2019s memory. There were also calls to ignore Darren\u2019s claims, with many asking \u201chow are you still giving this guy attention?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
