KSI walks back claim he could beat Thor Bjornsson in boxing match YouTube: JJ Olatunji \/ Instgram: thorbjornssonYouTube star KSI is walking back his claims that he could beat Icelandic strongman Hafthor Bjornsson in a boxing match following Bjornsson\u2019s recent win over Eddie Hall. KSI is quickly backpedaling after making some lofty claims about a potential bout with one of the world\u2019s strongest men. The YouTuber is no stranger to the world of combat sports; he, alongside former rival Logan Paul, kickstarted the current influencer boxing craze thanks to their two viral boxing matches in 2018 \u2013 2019. KSI emerged victorious, and recently announced his comeback to the sport with an as-yet unnamed opponent \u2014 but some fans think he shot too high after claiming he could easily best Thor Bjornsson in the boxing ring. KSI notably claimed that Bjornsson was \u201cslow,\u201d saying he could get in good hits while the 323 lb strongman was charging up his punches. Thor was of a differing opinion. \u201cInteresting,\u201d he said of KSI\u2019s words on Instagram. \u201cI wonder if he truly thinks he could beat me or if he\u2019s just fooling around. What do you guys think?\u201d View this post on Instagram KSI refutes claim he could beat Thor Bjornsson It seems that KSI has now changed his mind on the subject, as he quickly retracted his statement in a YouTube video posted several days later. \u201cI already said on the Sidecast that I take it back,\u201d he explained, referring to his podcast with YouTube group \u2018The Sidemen.\u2019 \u201cNo one shows that bit. No one shows the part of me actually understanding the idea of fighting Thor and realizing that he\u2019s just too big for me.\u201d \u201cHe just weighs too much,\u201d he continued. \u201cI will never be able to be that titan weight. Me being 100 kg? (220 lbs) Ridiculous. I\u2019d feel like s**t. So \u2014 he\u2019s 150? 160 kilograms? (352 lbs) Nah, bro.\u201d \u201cI wouldn\u2019t do much. I guess I\u2019d be faster than him. And yes, maybe I\u2019d be able to hit more. But all he needs to do is hit me once or just lean on me and it\u2019s a long day for me. I have nothing to do with Thor. I do not want anything to do with it.\u201d (Topic begins at 9:30) Well, there we have it; KSI is officially not interested in touching gloves with someone over twice his size. That being said, his next opponent is still unannounced, leaving fans more anxious than ever to see who he\u2019ll go up against next (but it won\u2019t be Thor).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
