KSI recently sent shock waves to the internet by making an unthinkable boxing move. After the Alex Wassabi debacle, the YouTube boxer will now fight two opponents in one night. The 29-year-old thinks this will get him closer to earning the “GOAT” status. However, his rival, Jake Paul, thinks otherwise.

Soon after KSI’s announcement, ‘The Problem Child’ shared his unfiltered reaction in his latest Tweet. In doing so, ‘The Problem Child’ ends up making a huge factual error.
George Foreman fought 4 people in 1 night and it was an awful showing. At first it seemed like a good idea but eventually it actually pissed the fans off because they realized all the opponents were put in to lose. It was was basically a stunt, not worth the price of admission.

Paul cited boxing legend George Foreman’s event, which was similar to what KSI is trying to achieve. The difference is Foreman fought more than twice the number of opponents KSI will fight on August 27.
The undefeated 5-0 boxer claims Foreman’s event was “an awful showing,” as it left fans “pissed off because they realized all the opponents were put in to lose.”
Paul ended on a note saying, “not worth the price of admission.”
What factual error did Jake Paul make while berating KSI?
Jake Paul, in his Tweet, says boxing legend George Foreman fought four fighters in one night. However, in reality, the number of opponents differs.
Foreman, after his appalling loss to heavyweight GOAT Muhammad Ali, dubbed ‘The Rumble in the Jungle,’ in 1974, wanted to make a sensational comeback. As a result, he decided to fight five opponents in one night.
Foreman’s 1 vs 5 boxing match resulted in him winning all five bouts. However, the event itself received heavy criticism from fans and then-rival Muhammad Ali. As per The Sportsman, many in the arena were booing.
Keeping the factual error aside, Jake Paul thinks KSI’s 1 vs 2 boxing against English rapper Swarmz & professional Bulgarian boxer Ivan Nikolov will receive similar reactions from fans, i.e. criticism.

Nevertheless, as we all know, Foreman made an emphatic comeback and went on to become one of the world’s greatest boxers.
