KSI compares himself with heavyweight Deontay Wilder after two stoppage wins

KSI believes his "dangerous" power is comparable to former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder after he recorded two stoppage victories last night.

The YouTube star - real name JJ Olatunji - made his ring return for the first time in 1000 days and defeated two fighters in the shape of novice rapper Swarmz and professional fighter Luis Pineda at London's O2 arena. They were KSI's second and third professional victories after he defeated YouTube rival Logan Paul in a sanctioned rematch back in 2019.

Despite picking up two victories, the fights were not considered a stern test of KSI's boxing credentials with Swarmz - real name Brendan Scott - yet to have fought in the ring, while Pineda had little to examine the resolve of the YouTuber. However KSI is certain that his opponent's felt his power and decided not to try and compete.
