KSI commends Tommy Fury for beating Jake Paul despite being \u201ctormented for two years\u201d YouTube: KSIAlthough initially claiming both fighters were \u201ctrash\u201d shortly after the bout, KSI has since praised Tommy Fury for his win over Jake Paul, admitting he rose to the occasion amid some very real pressure. After years of false starts and multiple setbacks, Jake Paul finally stepped into the ring with Tommy Fury on February 26. After going the distance, Fury ultimately had his hand raised in a split-decision victory. However, despite the win and despite handing Paul his first loss in the sport, not everyone was impressed. KSI was among the first to chime in on social media moments after the fight, laughing hysterically while calling out both fighters as being \u201ctrash.\u201d A point he\u2019s raised on numerous occasions, claiming he would \u201cdestroy\u201d them without a hassle. Now a few days removed from the contest though, and the British YouTuber now has a new sense of appreciation for Fury\u2019s performance. Admitting that the young boxer was under an immense amount of \u201cpressure\u201d yet still delivered on his promise to come out on top. \u201cFair play to Tommy,\u201d KSI said in his March 8 YouTube video focusing entirely on the fight. Praising his performance in the end, he claimed it was a solid victory given everything stacked against Fury. \u201cHe\u2019d been tormented for two years straight. Being called Tommy Fumbles, everyone saying he was trash, saying he\u2019s not a real boxer, saying he\u2019s not going to be able to beat Jake Paul, saying he\u2019s going to buckle under the pressure. But you know what, he came into that ring and slapped up Jake Paul.\u201d Although one judge had his points in favor of Paul, resulting in a split decision, KSI even went on to shut down this notion entirely. \u201cIf we all watch the fight, Jake Paul was getting slapped up.\u201d With his main threat being the overhand right, KSI claimed the outcome of the fight was more or less set in stone when Paul \u201ccouldn\u2019t land\u201d his signature strike. \u201cHe looked like a fish out of water. There wasn\u2019t any time where I thought, you know what, Jake Paul is gonna knock out Tommy Fury.\u201d With a rematch seemingly on the horizon, it appears KSI will have to wait a little longer to get his hands on his social media rival. \u201cI wish I was the one to do it, but I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll give him another [loss] in the future,\u201d he added. In the meantime, the Sidemen star now appears to have 40-year-old pro boxer Joe Fournier in his sights for his next opponent in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
