KSI responds to rumors that he wants to fight Mike Tyson YouTube: JJ Olatunji \/ Instagram: Mike Tyson[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star-turned-pro boxer KSI might have proven his worth in the ring against his rival Logan Paul \u2014 but some rumors are claiming that he wants to test his mettle against none other than Mike Tyson. It\u2019s no secret that the Paul brothers are truly amping up their boxing game as of late; with Logan rumored to fight the one and only Floyd Mayweather and Jake being scheduled to fight on the undercard of the upcoming Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. bout, influencers are really making their way up in the fighting world. With this knowledge in mind, it came as little surprise to fans when rumors began circulating that KSI \u2014 the famous British rival of the Paul brothers \u2014 hoped to face off against Mike Tyson, himself, in wake of the news that Jake Paul was involved. The news began circulating thanks to a self-described \u201cdrunk\u201d Mukbang video from the Sidemen, a British YouTube group of which KSI is a part. (Topic begins at 39:55) During the video, KSI apparently claimed that he could knock out a horse with the power of his own punch, as well as a giraffe, and later on, even bragged about being able to take on Mike Tyson \u2014 one of the boxing world\u2019s biggest legends. However, KSI was quick to turn to social media to dispute this rumor, claiming that it was merely a joke said during a slightly-drunk video with his mates. \u201cGonna kill this real quick. I don\u2019t want to fight Mike Tyson,\u201d the YouTuber explained. \u201cThe man is a legend. You got trolled from a drunk Sidemen video.\u201d Gonna kill this real quick. I don\u2019t want to fight Mike Tyson. The man is a legend. You got trolled from a drunk sidemen video. \u2014 ksi (@KSI) September 28, 2020 Despite KSI\u2019s fervent explanation to the contrary, the internet was quick to troll him, with close friend and video editor Randolph jokingly asking him: \u201cCould you also retract the statement you made in which you said you could knock out a horse?\u201d KSI, getting in on the banter, replied \u201cNo\u201d \u2014 so while it doesn\u2019t look like we\u2019ll be getting any more info out of the YouTube star, it seems that he\u2019s not interested in taking on \u201cIron Mike\u201d Tyson anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
