KSI further went on to call him out for a fight. He said, “I wanna fight you in a stadium in Brazil. Whatever Kingpyn are paying you, I’ll triple it. Kingpyn can replace you with someone else in the tournament. Let’s do it after my fight in May.”

It is worth mentioning that this tweet came after Nunes’ recent 2nd-round TKO against Filipek at the Wembley Arena in London. This statement, however, did not sit well with Kenny who proceeded to warn KSI to not ‘sabotage’ his fight.
