KSI backtracks on potential Thor Bjornsson fight after branding strongman "slow"

YouTube star KSI has backtracked on his claim that he could beat Thor Bjornsson in a boxing match after branding the strongman "slow".

The social media sensation is working towards an August return to the ring, and was asked during an episode of the Sidecast if he feels he could beat former world's strongest man winner Bjornsson. Both he and the Icelander have boxed before, winning decisions in their bouts with Logan Paul and Eddie Hall respectively.

He responded by saying that while he understands getting caught could mean an early night, he believes he would be too fast for Bjornsson. "Yes, bro, he'd be slow." KSI explained. "You have to be fast, in and out in and out. It's one of those things because he's slow, while he's recharging to strike you can hit him."
