KSI Claims IShowSpeed Landed More Punches Than Tommy Fury
KSI, the YouTube sensation and boxer, has taken a brutal swipe at both Tommy Fury and Jake Paul following his charity sparring match with IShowSpeed. During the spar, which was live-streamed, KSI gracefully handed Speed victory after three comical rounds where Speed was dropped and sent through the ropes. KSI then spoke out, suggesting that more people watched his spar than Paul's recent fight against Andre August. Furthermore, KSI claimed that Speed had landed more punches against him than Tommy Fury did in their previous bout.
KSI Speaks Out About the Spar
In an interview with Fred Talks Fighting, KSI expressed his views on the spar with Speed. He stated, "I think it was definitely the event of the night. I think there were a lot of boxing fights happening at around the same time. But I'm pretty sure there were more people watching ours than anyone else's. But yeah man, tough opponent. I think he hit me more than most of my opponents, I think he hit me more than Tommy Fury."
Controversial Points Decision and Knockout Victory
KSI, 30, suffered his first defeat against Tommy Fury, 24, in a controversial points decision that is currently being appealed. Meanwhile, Jake Paul, 26, knocked out Andre August, 35, with a right uppercut in round one. Paul responded to KSI's spar with Speed by stating, "I don't care, it's just two different things, right? He's chasing views as a 30-year-old man and I'm chasing legacy and belts. All kudos to him, I hope he makes his wildest dreams come true."
