KSI advised he must lose weight for fight with 335lb giant Thor Bjornsson

KSI's former coach Viddal Riley has confusingly explained that the rapper would need to actually lose weight from his 193lb frame in order to defy the odds and beat strongman Thor Bjornsson in a boxing match.

Talks of the comical mismatch, that would place 5'10" KSI, who last weighed in at 193.4lb, against 6'9", 335lb Bjornsson, began when the YouTuber joked that he could win a fight between the pair during a podcast appearance. He would later walk back the claim, but it didn't stop fans from speculating about the match-up.

And now his ex-coach and top prospect Riley has explained what he would need to do to get the victory should they ever get in the ring together. The 5-0 London native has experience of this sort of mismatch himself, having sparred Bjornsson's last opponent and ex-world's strongest man Eddie Hall going into their fight.
