Ahead of the fight KSI was keen to talk up his journey, going from a FIFA YouTuber to competitive boxer.
“People forget I’m a YouTuber that just fell in love with boxing and just worked and worked and worked on my craft and now I’m here fighting a 9-0 pro,” he said. “It’s pretty mad how my life has just come together like this, but I truly do believe in myself.
“I have this dog in me that really just doesn’t want to lose and even if I’m on the back foot, even if I’m getting pieced up, I’m going to find something within me to keep going and I will go down on my shield.
“I’m not a guy that is going to just play around and be like, ‘Maybe I’ve lost, but I’ll just make sure I don’t get knocked out.’ No, I don’t care about getting knocked out.”
