Tommy Fury didn’t mess around when talking about his upcoming fight with KSI. “KSI will be lucky to get out of round one. I’m sick of playing games with these guys. He’s going to get obliterated,” Fury said in a recent interview. The fight between the YouTuber and Fury is set to be a co-headliner with the Logan Paul-Dillon Danis fight on October 14.
Fury’s comments come a few weeks after KSI gave a very anime-esque monologue during a face-off between the two fighters. “When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber. You can train all you want, it won’t matter. Soon you will face reality and it will hurt you. You will be a disgrace for the Fury name and your boxing career will be destroyed when I’m through with you. You don’t want this as much as I do, you don’t need this as much as I do. No pressure, mate. I’ll see you soon,” KSI said before ending with his best villain laugh.
Meanwhile, other figures have started to weigh in on the fight. While Jake Paul believes that the fight will go beyond the first round, he is still eyeing a victory for Fury. “Well, I think it’s a win-win for [KSI]. He gets the money. Even if he loses, then it’s like ‘Okay, whatever. Me and Jake both lost to Tommy. Then, we can still fight.’But if he were to just fight me and I win, then it’s like he’s just, like, done. You know, let’s just say that there’s this chance that he clips Tommy with his wild style and catches him. It’s boxing! I think Tommy TKOs him in the fourth round.”
Elsewhere, KSI has also been called out by Ryan Garcia. “KSI is so salty on me for no reason He can’t go the distance with me like he claimed. He’s a 7 head monster. Stop speaking my name. @KSI,” Garcia wrote on X following a back-and-forth between the two men. KSI had come after Garcia after it was announced that Garcia’s year-ending fight against Oscar Duarte would not be a pay-per-view event. After Garcia said he did not want to “rob his fans”, implying an easy win for himself, KSI suggested he had already robbed his fans following his loss to Gervonta Davis earlier this year.
Ryan Garcia tried to land a knockout blow on KSI following their recent Twitter feud. “KSI is so salty on me for no reason He can’t go the distance with me like he claimed. He’s a 7 head monster. Stop speaking my name. @KSI,” Garcia wrote on X following a back-and-forth between the two men. KSI had come after Garcia after it was announced that Garcia’s year-ending fight against Oscar Duarte would not be a pay-per-view event. After Garcia said he did not want to “rob his fans”, implying an easy win for himself, KSI suggested he had already robbed his fans following his loss to Gervonta Davis earlier this year.
The two men traded barbs back and forth before Garcia finally told the YouTuber to step up or shut up. “If you want to fight me, let me know or stop speaking my name,” Garcia wrote in a private message to KSI. The December 2 fight will also be Duarte’s first since May. The Mexican-born fighter is 26-1-1 in his decade-long career.
It remains to be seen if KSI will actually challenge Garcia. However, first the YouTuber must overcome Tommy Fury. The two are scheduled to fight on October 14 as the co-headliner to the Logan Paul-Dillon Danis fight. Of course, KSI-Fury has gotten much less attention compared the anctics of Paul and Danis.
However, KSI did go midly viral a few weeks ago after delivering an anime-level monologue to Fury. “When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber. You can train all you want, it won’t matter. Soon you will face reality and it will hurt you. You will be a disgrace for the Fury name and your boxing career will be destroyed when I’m through with you. You don’t want this as much as I do, you don’t need this as much as I do. No pressure, mate. I’ll see you soon,” KSI told a bemused Fury last month.
KSI has ramped up the drama in his impending fight with Tommy Fury. The YouTuber hit the boxer with a rant worthy of the best Shōnen villains. “When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber. You can train all you want, it won’t matter. Soon you will face reality and it will hurt you. You will be a disgrace for the Fury name and your boxing career will be destroyed when I’m through with you. You don’t want this as much as I do, you don’t need this as much as I do. No pressure, mate. I’ll see you soon,” KSI said before ending with his best villain laugh.
However, it doesn’t look like Fury has been isekai’d into a fight anime. He and his father found the entire thing very amusing, calling KSI a “pineapple” and saying he would be more at home in the WWE. “Ooooh, we’re shaking,” John Fury told KSI towards the end of his speech. The fight is currently scheduled for October 14 in Manchester, England. The KSI-Fury fight will serve as the co-headliner for the Misfits Boxing event alongside Paul-Danis.
While KSI is channeling his inner anime villain, Dillon is much of more a standard wrestling heel. While a hefty lawsuit has seen him back off Logan Paul’s fiancee for the time being, Danis isn’t completely out of the trolling game. In his most recent taunt, Danis posted a video of him urinating on a bottle of PRIME. PRIME is the somewhat controversial energy drink founded and owned by Paul and KSI.
However, it remains to be seen if Danis will actually show up for the fight. He has a history of dropping out of fights and hasn’t fought competitively since 2019. Although, if he does fight, there are some pretty wild terms on the line. If Danis wins, Paul has to make him his best man at this wedding. Meanwhile, if Paul wins, Danis has to forfeit his entire fight purse. If all goes to plan, both of these beefs will be settled next month. Follow HotNewHipHop for all the latest news on this fight.
IShowSpeed and KSI have been teaming up all week to train for September 9’s Sidemen charity soccer match in London. While they will be playing for different teams, the two YouTube stars set aside their differences in the name of content creation. Earlier in the week, KSI roasted Speed a little bit over the IShowMeat trend that occurred after Speed accidentally flashed his genitals to his audience. However, Speed was able to get a little bit of revenge by showing that Speed isn’t just a name. The pair were seen engaging in a foot race that the American streamer won by several yards.
Unfortunately, that did not translate to the game itself. KSI’s Sidemen team easily defeated the YouTube All-Stars team 8-5 in front of a packed London Stadium. IShowSpeed didn’t get his name on the soccer sheet, which is disappointing for the massive soccer fan. However, in fairness, the only goal KSI scored was an own goal. However, that makes a little more sense given that he was playing as a goalkeeper for most of the game. Arguably, British YouTuber Max Fosh had the highlight of the game. After being booked, Fosh brandished an Uno reverse card at the referee.
His time with KSI has given Speed a brief respite from the slew of negative headlines he has generated recently. At the end of August, Speed had another classic meltdown while streaming, really highlighting that at the end of the day, he’s an 18-year-old who screams on the Internet. While streaming on August 31, Speed was alerted to the fact that “RIP CR7” was trending on social media. Speed became increasingly distressed as he scrolled through tweets that appeared to suggest that Ronaldo had died. He begins to beg his chat to drop the act and tell him that it’s fake if it is. After counting down from ten and scrolling through Twitter some more, Speed ended the stream.
Literally the day before, Speed had another meltdown when he claimed that a website had banned him for being ugly. Speed went to have some fun on the website, OmeTV, a chat roulette site. However, Speed was only able to interact with a few users before something strange happened. After attempting to connect with a new user, Speed found himself banned. The reason give was “irrelevant image” alongside a picture of Speed’s face. “They just banned me because of my face? Am I that ugly? Am I that fucking ugly?!” the streamer yelled in response as fans mocked in chat. However, after paying a small unbanning fee, the same thing happened again. “I am fucking done! They banned me again just because of my face! I am not that damn ugly!” Speed said in another meltdown before quitting out to play Roblox instead.
The beef between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis continues to unfold. Most recently, Danis posted a video of Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, appearing to ask for sex amid a “dry spell”. It is unclear whether the video is genuine and if so, when it was filmed and where it was originally posted. Paul, as he has been doing throughout this beef, chose to comment on the latest attack on Agdal. Rather than go after Paul himself, Agdal has been Danis’ primary avenue of attack.
However, it appears that Paul is now beginning to empty his arsenal. Speaking with KSI on IMPAULSIVE, Paul began to hit back against Danis. “He’s attacking an uninvolved third party, a woman, and it’s all he has! And I get it, all is fair in love and war but sort of because I look at myself and go the amount of dirt I have sitting in my phone. The amount of people who fucking hate this guy who send me stuff, but do I want to go there? About his mom, his relatives, his sister, his cousins! Especially his mother, do I want to do that?” However, Paul also said that he wouldn’t stoop to that level.
However, the pair weren’t done. KSI also spoke on catching strays from Danis, despite not even being the one fighting him. Previously, KSI had meant to fight Danis in 2022. However, Danis pulled out just 10 days before the fight. “It got to a period where he started going at my girlfriend and started to look for pictures of my girlfriend. When he was going down that route, that’s when I was like, bro, ‘You’re not even fighting me.’ Like, what is going on? She just wants to keep to herself.”
As Paul mentioned, there is an element of “all’s fair in love and war” at play. However, it remains to be seen just how long Paul and KSI are going to put up with Danis’ antics. For all intents and purposes, it feels like Danis is more interested in attacking Paul online than actually having their fight. At their first press conference for the fight, Danis was removed by police, and his place was taken by the fight’s backup fighter. But for now, Paul’s threats that he was dirt of his own appears to be all we’re getting. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates here on HotNewHipHop.
Logan Paul has had quite the year. The YouTube star has rapidly become one of the most popular superstars to ever to cross over into professional wrestling. Paul has dazzled fans every time he has made an appearance on WWE television. Winning over the professional wrestling fanbase takes a lot of work. However, it seems that Paul has put in that work with his appearances inside the squared circle. But I guess nobody can win over everyone. Undoubtedly Paul probably now wishes he could.
On Monday, Paul and his business partner KSI were greeted in an extremely harsh manner for the meet and greet with fans. Upon arriving, the pair were immediately bombarded with bottles thrown by fans. But those weren’t just any ordinary bottles. The bottles being tossed were Prime Energy. A company created by Paul & KSI. The entire incident was filmed and posted online. While it’s not out of the realm of possibility that this was planned. However, It probably doesn’t feel good to be pelted with a bottle.
Now just because Paul has earned the respect of the WWE fanbase doesn’t mean he can’t be booed. Paul recently appeared on WWE Monday Night Raw to announce he would be a participant in the annual Money In The Bank Ladder Match. The winner of the match wins a contract stating they can compete for WWE championships at any place and any time. However, a celebrity winning a championship in professional wrestling has yet to go over well. Just ask David Arquette.
Whatever the case may be for fans throwing bottles at the pair, nobody can hate their hustle. Both stars appeared at this past year’s WWE WrestleMania, where KSI dressed as a Prime bottle. But it’s funny how fast life moves sometimes. One day you the bottle. The next, a bottle is hitting you in the head. However, wrestling fans now may start to wonder if KSI will be assisting Paul to the ring this weekend for the big event. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.
In the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling and WWE News, surprises are the norm, and WWE Money in the Bank 2023 is shaping up to keep up the trend. The latest twist? A new rumor suggests that KSI, the colossal YouTube sensation, might grace the event slated for July 1st, 2023.
As per a tweet from an account known as ‘The Mole’ (via FightFans), KSI could make his way to the show when WWE hits the O2 Arena. The account shared a GIF of the YouTuber along with a money bag emoji, hinting that KSI’s presence at the show is a possibility.
WWE News and Rumors: Speculations Surrounding KSI’s Role

What does this mean for the event, you ask? Well, the speculations are rife, and so are the uncertainties. As of now, the exact role KSI is supposed to play on the card remains a mystery. With the YouTube star’s reputation for delivering surprises, fans are eagerly speculating on his potential involvement.
An intriguing possibility is that KSI might get involved in whatever Logan Paul, his fellow YouTube star and co-owner of the Prime Energy Drink brand, is doing at the event. One of the highlight matches of the night will be the Men’s MITB Ladder match, which features Logan Paul among its contenders. Could there be a YouTube crossover in the wrestling world once again? Only time will tell.

For those who follow both the wrestling and YouTube scenes, KSI’s potential involvement in WWE isn’t out of the blue. The YouTuber has already had a taste of the WWE spotlight when he appeared at WrestleMania 39, a move that had fans buzzing for weeks. If the rumor turns out to be true, this wouldn’t be his first rodeo, thereby adding an element of excitement to the event.
While the rumor mill is churning out fascinating theories, it’s crucial to remember that these are still unconfirmed reports. The suspense and speculation surrounding KSI’s involvement in WWE Money in the Bank 2023 continue to grow as we get closer to the event.
For now, all we can do is wait until the night of the event to see if this exciting possibility turns into a reality. Whatever the outcome, the mere whisper of KSI’s involvement has already generated a wave of anticipation among WWE fans worldwide. One thing’s for sure, though – if KSI indeed steps into the arena, the WWE Money in the Bank 2023 will be a spectacle to remember.
While YouTuber KSI has not devoted himself as much to boxing as Jake Paul, the British star is still known to get into the ring from time to time. He is undefeated in seven fights (one professional, four exhibition, two amateur) and is well-regarded in boxing circles.
On May 13, KSI faced British boxer and businessman Joe Fournier. Fournier was 13-0 in his professional career but was coming off a loss in his most recent fight. In September 2021, Fournier loss by decision to David Haye. The fight was for the Misfits Boxing cruiserweight title, held by KSI. The YouTuber had won the belt in 2022 and successfully defended it in January 2023. While a hyped matchup, it was over quickly. KSI needed just two rounds to land a KO on Fournier. However, not everyone is happy with the result.
Soon after the fight, Jake Paul took to Twitter, posting a video of KSI’s knockout. I respect boxing too much to respect what that was. “If that was indeed a real boxing match it will be ruled a no contest or disqualification,” Paul wrote. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was referring to the apparent contact between KSI’s elbow and Fournier’s face that scored the knockout. In the footage, Fournier appears to dodge a punch from KSI, only to make contact with the YouTuber’s elbow. Paul reiterated his sentiment on Instagram.
At the time of writing, the fight has been officially called as a victory for KSI. However, that could change in the coming days. If DAZN, the boxing promoter who oversees and broadcasts Misfits Boxing, deems the incident worth of review, the result could become one of two things. Firstly, the Fournier could be declared the winner. If the elbow was ruled to be intentional, then KSI could be disqualified. However, the more likely outcome in the case of a review would be a ruling of no contest. This would come in the event that an illegal elbow was deemed to have been thrown but no intentionally. This is a developing story and we’ll have any updates here at HotNewHipHop.

Jake Paul and KSI have been in a longstanding feud. Overall, both of these men are YouTube stars who have entered the boxing world. KSI has fought twice against Logan Paul, with one draw and one victory. Additionally, Paul is a superstar at this point, although he did lose his last fight against Tommy Fury. At this point, there are all sorts of rumblings that they might get to fight each other. Both of these men have been going back and forth on social media over the last few months, however, there is still no fight in sight.
Recently, KSI found himself at the center of a controversy. While appearing in a Sidemen video on YouTube, KSI ended up using a racial slur that is used against South Asian people. Subsequently, KSI took to social media where he apologized for what went down. Despite the apology, Jake Paul jumped on the opportunity to kick KSI while he was down. In the tweet down below, you can see that Paul went off on the YouTuber. He urged his rival to be better and to start thinking about charities he can donate to.
Jake Paul Speaks
Fake guy with fake apologies every other week. I hope you take this more serious than taking a break off social media so you can focus on training and then reappearing two weeks before your fight saying you’re a new man.
“Fake guy with fake apologies every other week,” Paul wrote. “I hope you take this more serious than taking a break off social media so you can focus on training and then reappearing two weeks before your fight saying you’re a new man. Meet with British South Asian community leaders, get with the right charities and give back. I made my own mistakes in my early 20s but we are too old for this behavior. I look forward to knocking you the fuck out on behalf of all South Asians around the world. You 30 year old prick.”
At this point, Jake Paul is clearly trying to play dirty. Using a rival’s controversy to his advantage isn’t exactly the definition of “class.” However, this is one of the reasons why Paul is able to sell fights. He knows how to build tension, and it is something that promoters love. Let us know whether or not you think these two will ever get in the ring, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.
