YouTuber, boxer and musician KSI has declared that he is done with boxing.
Over the course of his career, KSI has ventured into many different areas. From Sidemen to Prime to music and beyond, the 32-year-old has certainly been one of the first major stars to come straight from the YouTube scene. Of course, he has also had some success in boxing, with his last fight coming in late 2023 when he lost to Tommy Fury.
Since then, there have been rumors that KSI could hire another big name at some point in the future, such as Andrew Tate or Jake Paul. Unfortunately, none of that ever really came to fruition, and he instead chose to focus his attention elsewhere.
In a recent interview, KSI had quite a few things to say about his boxing career and why he doesn’t seem interested in fighting anytime soon.
KSI discusses his future in boxing
“I think everyone has a bad side, but it’s about whether you want to take advantage of that, and for me, I don’t want to do that,” KSI said. “I felt like I had to do that when I was boxing. I felt like I had to be the nightmare and with that, in order to sell a fight, you have to do things to make people want to watch. You have to find ways to get that emotion out of people and I’ve done horrible things throughout boxing. But that’s the fight game and I didn’t like it. I didn’t like it.”
“I didn’t even win much from the material things. My fight with Tommy Fury, all the money I made, I gave to my trainers. Everything. For me, I don’t do things for this. I was offered $30 million to fight Jake Paul. These guys can’t give me money to fight this guy. When it comes to boxing, I’m done. I tried. I did it.”
“My main goal when I got back in the boxing ring was to fight Jake Paul and build Misfits. Build Misfits, try to fight Jake Paul over and over again, it’s just excuse after excuse after excuse. Instead of Tommy Fury, I was there ready to fight Jake Paul. I was ready, I was there, let’s go, and instead he fought Nate Diaz.”
“Then I had to fight Tommy Fury at that point. I think I was trying to build back up to fight Jake again, and then he just got heavier and heavier and heavier trying to move the goalposts when it came to weight. Then it got to the point where it was like, what am I doing? I’m done.”
