KSI has vowed to become the first man to beat Floyd Mayweather after watching his brother Deji lose to the boxing legend.
The YouTube star travelled to Dubai to watch his brother Deji tackle the undefeated 5-0 retired fighter in an exhibition at the Coca-Cola Arena, in which he was brutally stopped. The Briton managed to give Mayweather a black eye by landing some brief shots of his own, but found himself outclassed by the former champion.
KSI who was ringside for the event, was disappointed in his brother after the fight and believes he could have done better and managed to go toe-to-toe with Mayweather. But he has admitted that he wanted to f*** up the boxing legend while watching on as his brother was dominated.
"F***ing knock out Floyd Mayweather," KSI said during a video on his second YouTube channel when assessing his sibling's performance against Mayweather. "That is my mindset. I am there like allow just being the person to survive with Floyd Mayweather. I want to be the guy who beats Floyd Mayweather. I want to be the only guy to beat him, but anyway it is what it is.
"I though Floyd was having too much fun with it, he was doing pads during the break. It was taking the p***, it was borderline disrespectful and I hated it. "I wanted to get in that ring and f*** Floyd up. It's infuriating to see Deji losing to someone I know he could beat. I know you're gonna be like, 'There's no way Deji could beat Mayweather,' but I feel like I could beat Mayweather.
"Deji got beat up for six rounds. It was the same situation with Alex Wassabi. He just needs to get the mindset right, I know he didn't put 100 per cent into the training. I don't know how to make him be his true self. He gave Floyd Mayweather a f***ing bruise on his eye. Deji wasn't at his top level and he managed to bruise him. I think he would be a monster who would destroy everyone including me."

KSI will announce his next opponent tonight on the latest Misfits Boxing card that he is promoting, with the likes of Dillon Danis and Joe Fournier believed to be in the running. Long-term rivals Jake Paul and Tommy Fury were also in Dubai and it was suggested that KSI could confront the pair during the show.
However he avoided any altercations to ensure that the spotlight remained on his brother. "All of these motherf****** in the building and I did f*** all," he continued. "I wanted to be Deji's night and I didn't want to steal the limelight. I could have easily not walked out with him and gone in and beefed with Jake Paul or Tommy Fury. I could have easily done a madness, it could have been crazy. But I didn't."
