KSI has been called out for a fight by former TOWIE star Joey Essex.
The reality TV star is considering a move into boxing after teaming up with Matchroom in recent weeks.
He took part in a Macthroom 5k run in Monaco on Saturday where he socialised with fighter Conor Benn.
Essex, 33, is confident he would be able to “leather” someone if he was to get into the sport, and has KSI in his sights.
He told IFL TV: “If I was to do boxing, I’m doing that for me, you know what I mean?
“I’ve never done that before but I’ve got it written on my bucket list that in my life I want to win some kind of gold medal, and this will be my gold medal and I’ll absolutely leather someone.

“Someone told me that KSI’s got a problem with me, but there’s no problem here – unless he wants a problem.
“I would leather him I reckon, especially after seeing that fight the other week.”
Essex was not impressed with KSI’s performance against Tommy Fury as he poked fun at the YouTuber for his jumping jacks.
KSI was narrowly beaten by Fury – his first loss inside the ring.

But he has previously shown he has knock-out power and won four out of four fights before his showdown with Fury.
KSI is keen to rematch Fury after claiming he was “robbed” by the judges, so Essex may have to wait for his chance.
