Jake Paul has criticised KSI for claiming victory over Joe Fournier will make him the best YouTube boxer in the world.
KSI will look to pick up his second win in 2023 when he faces unbeaten professional boxer Fournier on May 13 at the OVO Wembley Arena. 'Boxing billionaire' Fournier hasn't fought in almost two years with most of his professional wins coming on the regional circuit in the Dominican Republic. The 40-year-old was beaten decisively by former two-weight world champion David Haye in their September 2021 exhibition fight and KSI thinks a win against Fournier would make him the top YouTube boxer.
"When I KO Joe Fournier, I will be the pound for pound best YouTube boxer. Yes above Jake Paul," KSI wrote with Paul then replying: "Hahaha. I’m your idol. So when you beat a guy whose last pro fight was over two years ago against a reggaeton singer that had never boxed in his life, you are the pound for pound best?! Or is because his fight before that was 6 years ago against a 1-11 'boxer'? Sham."
