With the growth in popularity of influencer boxing, there remain some who have been a part of it since the very start. KSI is one such name. His impact in bringing influencer boxing to new heights has been nothing short of extraordinary. But has he lost his touch with the sport?

‘The Nightmare’ has never passed an opportunity to take fights. He even has the insane feat of fighting two fighters in one night after his supposed opponent, Dillion Danis, failed to show up. He had a clean record before facing one Tommy Fury and receiving his first loss. However, one fighter who still has a clean slate is Slim Albaher. But it seems a fight between the two is unlikely to take place. But why?

KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, has been by his side ever since 2021. A lot of credit for his success goes to Mams. Recently, Happy Punch posted a statement made by Taylor on the anticipated fight between KSI and Slim.

Taylor said that the fight between the two is highly unlikely. The tweet read, “I want to protect Slim from potentially getting knocked the hell out,” in an outlandish way, showing much confidence in his fighter.

Taylor proceeded to say, “It doesn’t do any favors for KSI to go from Tommy Fury to Slim,” putting up the fact that Slim will be a downgrade from Fury. Whether KSI will actually dominate the fight as much as his manager thinks he will or not, is a different story. But it is a fact that Slim is a force to be reckoned with. You do not just win 4 fights with knockouts with no skills.

But is KSI as good as people make him to be? Tommy Fury has something else to say. Let us find out what.

The 24-year-old wrote, “Since 2019 I have been dealing with a hand injury that I’ve never spoken about/shared online. Since my third professional fight, I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to use my right hand at all.” He proceeded to say how he had only trained with his left hand for his fight against KSI.
