However, before things could mess up, the YouTuber recently commented on it. He took to his YouTube channel and mentioned, “I take it back. F**k no one shows up here. No one shows the power of me  understanding idea of fighting Thor. I’m realizing that he is just too big for me. He just weighs too much.”

Furthermore, he added, “I will be faster than him, maybe I will be able to hit more and all he needs to do is hit me once or lean on me if it’s long, it’s a long day for me. I have nothing to do with Thor, nothing I do not want anything with Thor.”
