KSI is setting his sights high following his introduction to boxing and he’s made it clear that the world’s leading names in sport are his inspiration.
The popular YouTuber has made an impressive start to life in the ring with his most recent performance, two wins in one night against Swarmz and Luis Pineda, enhancing his unbeaten start.
With his fights garnering huge attention on a global scale, KSI’s name is often linked to high profile bouts against the likes of Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, Floyd Mayweather, and Conor McGregor.
KSI’s next move is still undecided, but the London fighter’s return to action is set to be another marquee event as he looks to emulate other sporting icons.
"You know how people look at Michael Jordan and Ronaldo and Lewis Hamilton and all these huge people that have done so much in their career?" asked KSI when speaking to Men’s Health.
"I want to be up there with them. At first, this wasn’t on my mind. I was just doing it to make a bit of money and get by. But then I just kept pushing. Seeing how far I can go. Now I’m here, I’m like, 's—t, let me just keep going.’"
