KSI has disclosed that he could fight either Tyron Woodley, Joe Fournier, or Tommy Fury after his clash against Dillon Danis next month. The British YouTube star does not see a Jake Paul fight realistically being made until the end of next year with negotiations stalling on certain demands.
Speaking to Twitch streamer, Kai Cenat, about his future plans, KSI – whose real name is JJ Olatunji – said: “Who’s next? It could be [Tyron] Woodley, it could be Joe Fournier,” before Cenat interrupted and grilled him on the Paul fight.
“Jake Paul’s at the end of the year, we’re working on it,” replied KSI. “The contract we’re going back and forth already. He’s already putting in crazy demands and I’m like ‘nah nah nah, who do you think you are?’
“So, we’ve got to go back and forth so it’s going to take some time. In the meantime, I want to fight some people. It could be Tommy Fury. Bro, I’ve got to show everyone why I’m the GOAT. Bro, I’ve got to show everyone why I came back to the YouTube boxing scene. To show everyone why I am the ultimate man in this scene, it’s as simple as that.”
Fury and Fournier meanwhile have been on KSI’s radar for quite some time. Both men have strong undefeated professional boxing records – Fury (8-0) and Fournier (9-0) – and carry good name value in the influencer sphere.
Fournier, a successful British businessman, last fought in April of last year, defeating popular Colombian musician Reykon on the Paul vs Ben Askren undercard. Multiple YouTube outlets reported that the 39-year-old was set to face KSI next, but nothing ever came to fruition.
Fury has of course been more readily associated with Paul when it comes to fights, but Olatunji has regularly called out the ex-Love Island star. And with the third attempt at making Paul vs Fury seemingly falling at the first hurdle, a KSI fight could be an option that may be explored going forward.
