Morning Report: KSI celebrates Jake Paul’s defeat to Tommy Fury with: ‘I keep winning!

After this weekend, KSI appears to be on top of the world.

On Sunday, Jake Paul suffered the first defeat of his boxing career, losing a competitive split decision to Tommy Fury in their long-awaited grudge match. Though Paul did score a knockdown in the final round, he struggled to deal with the jab and combinations of Fury for much of the fight, and in general struggled to get consistent offense going. And no one was happier about this than KSI.

Tweeting during the bout and then after the official decision was announced, the British YouTuber engaged in some good, old-fashioned schadenfreude at Paul’s expense, mocking Paul’s performance and claiming he’d make short work of his fellow YouTube boxer.

“Hey, yo! [Mimics smoking] Ah! I’m just going to smoke that Jake Paul packet! Honestly, Jake Paul, trash! Tommy Fury, trash! [Cackling laughter]”

Paul and KSI are two of the most well-known names in “Influencer boxing.” KSI had been pursuing a fight for several years, calling Paul “a Fraud” and saying he wants to be exposed as “The Problem Child.” Paul however, stated that he is losing interest because KSI still hasn’t beat any person with combat sports experience. Instead, he knocked out other influencers. And that interest has waned even more following his loss, as Paul said he intends to exercise his rematch clause immediately for another shot at Fury.

The timeline could still work though as KSI has previously stated that he would like to meet Paul at Cardiff Stadium in December. Before then he will have his own hurdles to get past as he’s targeting a May boxing match against either Tyron Woodley or Joe Fournier, either of whom would be a step up in competition for him. In the meantime though, KSI seems content to simply enjoy Tommy Fury’s great victory.

“Jake! The problem is you man. You weren’t drinking Prime baby. [Cackling laughter] I stay winning! I stay winning, b****!”
