WWE legend John Morrison calls out KSI and Jake Paul after debut boxing win

WWE legend John Morrison has called out Jake Paul, KSI and Logan Paul to potential boxing fights after his debut win.

Morrison was making his boxing debut on the latest instalment of the influencer charity boxing tournament Creator Clash which is organised by YouTube star iDubbbz. The former wrestler was lacing up his gloves for the first time in a showdown with previous winning debutant Harley Morenstein who is known for his famous role on show Epic Meal Time.

Despite Morenstein's experience having beaten Arin Hanson, it was Morrison who was victorious in his maiden boxing experience blasting out a helpless Morenstein in two rounds. It was a powerful display from the star who is more often known for his wrestling skills which prompted his wild celebrations after he closed the show.

But Morrison did not see this venture as being a one-off and made a fiesty call-out to some of the space's leading names including KSI and the Paul brothers. “There are some influencer boxers I have zero respect for," he shouted after winning in emphatic fashion during his post-fight interview.

" Jake Paul? Blegh! Logan Paul? Blegh! They both make me sick. The Paul brothers make me sick. Overnight tough guys. The entire Misfits boxing promotion, they’re all the s***s. “Jake? Logan? No! Jake got beat. Logan got beat by KSI. Which is why I’m going to put KSI on blast right now!”

KSI was his chosen name with the British star having been the only one of the three who has an undefeated record remaining in tact. The British star also recently appeared alongside his friend Logan Paul at the Wrestlemania event which may have further perked interest from Morrison in the bout.

Many influencers are queuing to face KSI on his Misfits Boxing platform, but he will first need to progress in his upcoming test against Joe Fournier on May 13 at the OVO Wembley Arena. 'The Nightmare' has already blasted out FaZe Temperrr, Swarmz and Luis Pineda since returning to the squared circle after a win and a draw with Paul.

But Morrison will likely struggle to lure KSI into a fight given the British star has already held talks with ex-Love Island star Tommy Fury over a huge showdown. He has also made it clear that he wants to settle his rivalry with Jake before deciding whether to end his career after two more fights.
