YouTuber, boxer and musician KSI<\/a> has declared that he is done with boxing.<\/p>\n

Throughout the course of his career, KSI has ventured into many different fields. From Sidemen to Prime to music and beyond, the 32-year-old has certainly been one of the first major stars to come straight out of the YouTube scene. Of course, he\u2019s also had some success in boxing, with his latest fight coming in late 2023 when he lost to Tommy Fury.<\/p>\n

Ever since then, there have been rumblings that KSI could take on another big name at some point in the future, such as the likes of Andrew Tate or Jake Paul<\/a>. Alas, none of that has ever really come to fruition, and he has instead opted to focus his attention elsewhere.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, KSI had quite a few things to say about his boxing tenure and why he doesn\u2019t seem to be interested in fighting anytime soon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

KSI discusses his future in boxing<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone has a bad side, but it\u2019s whether you want to tap into that, and for me, I don\u2019t want to do that,\u201d KSI said. \u201cI felt like I had to when I was boxing. I felt like I had to be the nightmare and with that to sell a fight you have to do stuff to get people to want to watch. You have to find ways to bring that emotion out of people and I did some horrible things when I was doing the whole boxing thing. But that\u2019s the fight game and I didn\u2019t enjoy it. I didn\u2019t like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even gain much from the material stuff. My fight with Tommy Fury, all the money I made, I gave it to my trainers. All of it. For me, I don\u2019t do stuff for this. I\u2019ve been offered $30 million to fight Jake Paul. These guys can\u2019t give me any amount of money to fight this guy. When it comes to boxing, I\u2019m done. I tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main goal when I got into the boxing ring again was to fight Jake Paul and build Misfits. Build Misfits, try to fight Jake Paul time and time and time again, it\u2019s just excuse after excuse after excuse. Instead of Tommy Fury, I was there ready to fight Jake Paul. I was ready, I was there, let\u2019s go, and instead he fought Nate Diaz<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThen at that point, I had to fight Tommy Fury. I think I tried to build up again to try and fight Jake again, and then he was just getting heavier and heavier and heavier trying to move the goal posts when it comes to weight. Then it got to the point where it was like, what am I doing? I\u2019m done.\u201d<\/p>\n
