KSI’s brutal reaction to Jake Paul losing to Tommy Fury as rumours swirl over fight

It should surprise no-one that KSI was among the first to pile misery on Jake Paul after his rival’s unbeaten streak came to an end against Tommy Fury on Sunday.

‘The Problem Child’ came off second best in a decision defeat at the Diriyah Arena in Riyadh, where ‘TNT’ proved the superior pugilist over eight rounds and extended his record to 9-0. And KSI pulled no punches in his breakdown of the contest, suggesting he would outbox either fighter.

“Ahhhh, don’t mind me, just smoking on that Jake Paul pack,” exclaimed the YouTuber in a Twitter video, using an expression to suggest someone should settle down. “Honestly, Jake Paul: trash! Tommy Fury: trash!”

KSI—otherwise known as ‘JJ’—went on to address Paul directly, telling the American he didn’t win “because you weren’t drinking Prime baby!” The social media star is in business with Paul’s older brother, Logan, after collaborating to launch the energy drink company last year.

The online antics were only just getting started for the Misfits Boxing mastermind, however, as a video later emerged of him calling streamer Kai Cenat while he was live to poke more fun at his long-time rival. KSI could be heard cackling as soon as the FaceTime conversation started before reiterating Fury and Paul were “both trash.”

Do you think KSI would get the better of both Fury and Paul? Let us know in the comments section.

Asked by American Cenat whether he would “f*** both of them up,” the Briton didn’t hesitate as he bellowed: “Easy! Easyyy!!” Taking a pause between fits of laughter, KSI also questioned “where was the left hook” after Paul previously predicted that as the punch that would finish his foe in Saudi Arabia.

Not content to stop there, the Londoner took one final jab at Jake for calling out four-weight world champion Canelo Alvarez. “My man said he could fight Canelo,” he chortled. “Shut up!”

It wasn’t just the big names that got KSI’s attention, either, after the 29-year-old tuned into a Twitter Space to laugh at some of Paul’s loyal fans. Much of his contribution was focused around laughing at those who were clearly disappointed with Sunday’s result, and some attendees appeared irate after KSI exclaimed he would ‘destroy’ Paul.

KSI was heard laughing during the Twitter space and before his abrupt exit from the chat, he said: “KSI stays winning.”

Despite going 3-0 in exhibition bouts under his Misfits banner, KSI’s only fight that could be classed as ‘professional’ is his 2019 decision win over the elder Paul brother, Logan. It may not be long before he completes the sibling set, however, with Jake’s stock having taken a hit following the first loss of his career.
