While he may not be credited by many due to his loss, AnEsonGib helped pioneer influencer boxing with his first match against Jake Paul. And while he continued to fight after the loss, his career as a fighter would be overshadowed by the likes of Jake, Logan, and KSI. That was until September 11 when Gib would fight was the Main Event against Austin McBroom during the Social Gloves event. And with an electric win over the CEO of Social Gloves, the internet exploded with a newfound respect for the influencer. Immediately, boxing fans began to demand a rematch between Gib and Jake Paul. But KSI would take to Twitter to congratulate his friend\u2019s victory while also throwing out the possibility of a fight between himself and Gib as well as Gib vs Slim in January. KSI addresses fans saying he \u201cducked\u201d Gib fight While many fans don\u2019t want to see KSI fight Gib because of their friendship, others felt KSI was \u201cducking\u201d a fight with Gib by attempting to set him up against Slim. This comes after KSI tweeted that he wanted to face the winner of the McBroom vs Gib matchup. KSI responded to the backlash on Twitter after a user commented, \u201cReddit ain\u2019t happy bruh.\u201d \u201cHonestly don\u2019t care. People forget that I\u2019m always gonna do what I wanna do (that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been this successful for so long), but they\u2019ll see when I post,\u201d KSI replied. The backlash also came after KSI tweeted calling himself one of the \u201cmost dangerous boxers\u201d as they saw his comment as egotistical. Fans expressed how they felt KSI was taking AnEsonGib\u2019s spotlight by trying to lift himself up. A user replied to KSI, \u201cNowadays a lot of people feel like you can\u2019t back yourself up or talk in a positive way about yourself even when people are slandering your name.\u201d To which KSI added, \u201cI don\u2019t mind being the only one that backs myself because at the end of the day, that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d So, while his fans may not be happy with his tweets following Gib\u2019s big win, it doesn\u2019t seem to phase KSI in the slightest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI hits back at claims of \u201cducking\u201d AnEsonGib for boxing match YouTube: KSIFollowing AnEsonGib\u2019s win over McBroom on September 11, KSI has been under fire as many fans feel the YouTuber turned boxer has been \u201cducking\u201d a match against Gib.
