The YouTube star fancies his chances at beating Mike Tyson ahead of Iron Mike’s return to the ring

The Brit fought the American to a draw in their first meeting, while KSI also beat YouTuber Joe Weller in a 2018 amateur bout.
Iron Mike meanwhile is making a comeback in an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr on November 28 after 15 years of retirement.
The former heavyweight champion last stepped inside the ring in June 2005 – where he was stopped by Kevin McBride.
The “Baddest Man on the Planet” was crowned the youngest world champion ever, aged 20, and his illustrious 20-year career saw him knock out 44 of his 50 opponents.

I actually could though, I actually could. The reason why – age is on my side. Age is on my side. In the first few rounds I ain’t going [all out]

But despite their vastly different careers and experience, KSI reckons he could hang with the now 54-year-old Tyson in the ring.
Speaking in the latest Sidemen video, he answered: “I actually could (beat him) though, I actually could.
“I’m undefeated, no-one has beaten me.”
KSI’s YouTuber pals reacted with uproar at his statement before asking the Londoner how his former rival Logan Paul would fare against Tyson.

KSI replied: “I think Logan would beat Mike Tyson.”
When pushed to justify his reasoning, he said: “The reason why – age is on my side. Age is on my side.
“In the first few rounds I ain’t going [all out].”
KSI later revealed that his coach – highly rated cruiserweight prospect Viddal Riley – texted to say he wouldn’t last against Tyson.
He joked: “Viddal said, ‘Nah, man.’
“He said, ‘You’d have to survive three rounds of three minutes, then possibly.’”
Fans on social media were less forgiving of KSI’s prospects, with one tweeting: “I hope he is joking about mike tyson cause that’s just ridiculous.”

Another said: “Mike Tyson 100 years old, on a walking stick dismantles KSI with one hand.”
A third added: “Sidemen’s recent video has KSI saying — with quite a lot of confidence — he can beat Mike Tyson in a bout. I think I’ve consumed too much internet for the day.”
A fourth reasoned: “Did Mike Tyson ever beat anyone on the level of a Prime Logan Paul? KSI would wipe him out now tbh.”

FLOYD MAYWEATHER would still beat Logan Paul if he was ‘100 years old’, according to legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum.
It has been reported that Mayweather is in talks for an exhibition fight against YouTuber Paul.

And while inevitably there would be millions on offer to the pair, the prospect of seeing one of boxing’s best ever fight a social media star has been blasted by many.
This includes Arum, who is Tyson Fury’s US promoter.
Speaking to iFL TV, the 88-year-old was scathing about the prospect of the two lacing up gloves to fight.
Arum said: “Anybody who would pay five cents to watch that fight has to have his head examined.

“Floyd Mayweather, probably if he was 100 years old, it would still be a fairly confident fight.”
Another big name to have recently slammed the fight happening is fellow YouTuber KSI.
And that’s because the Brit thinks Mayweather should fight him instead.
KSI has twice fought Paul, drawing in their first meeting, before beating him last year when the pair turned professional.

And KSI has stated it makes no sense for five-weight world champion Mayweather to return to the ring to face Paul.
He insisted that it would make more sense for the 1996 Olympic bronze medallist to face him instead.
Speaking on his second YouTube channel, KSI said: “This ain’t happening.
“Why the f*** would Mayweather say yes to this? Why would he fight the loser of me and Logan?
“I was A-side for both fights, surely Mayweather would just wanna fight the winner of me vs Logan, it just makes more sense.”

But one former boxing two-weight world champion would be happy to see Mayweather and Paul going toe-to-toe.
David Haye told Sky Sports the 39-year-old said: “I just think it’s fun, it gets people talking. I don’t mind seeing Floyd Mayweather fight YouTubers.
“I wouldn’t want to see Mayweather fighting someone young, undefeated. Why? What’s the point?
“They are younger and fresher, and Mayweather may have slowed down a fraction. He may lose.
“I don’t mind Mayweather fighting, as long as it isn’t against someone who has a chance of winning.”
Mayweather retired from the noble art undefeated in 50 fights, his last victory coming against UFC legend Conor McGregor in 2017.

“I was A-side for both fights, surely Mayweather would just wanna fight the winner of me vs Logan, it just makes more sense.
“Also, Logan Paul can’t sell tickets like me. We all remember how well his ‘Challenger Games’ sold.
PAUL THE OTHER ONE
“Whenever I do events like the Sidemen football match, we sell thousands of tickets.

“I’m the bigger draw when it comes to boxing because I defeated the one who started it – Joe Weller – and defeated Logan Paul himself.
“So why would Mayweather want to fight second best when he could just easily fight the best?”
KSI’s former trainer Viddal Riley – who is promoted by Mayweather – confirmed Paul has held talks with ‘Money’ over a bout.
But he insisted that Mayweather should fight the Arsenal fan ahead of the Maverick.
He said: “One thing people are, you know, not seeming to understand, Floyd is fighting the loser of the situation.
