Nobody could top the rivalry between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier! Or so everybody in the boxing world thought until influencer boxing became a thing. With this new evolution in the sport, a fierce and intriguing rivalry took birth. KSI and Jake Paul ? two highly accomplished internet personalities. Both began their careers in the annals of YouTube history, but their rivalry flourished with the birth of influencer boxing.?
Today, it has come to a point where the pair is constantly vying for the top spot in the pound-for-pound influencer boxers list. On the same note, Michael Benson recently shared the updated list on X (formerly Twitter), where KSI passed Jake Paul to become number one. JJ?s move to number one came even though he lost his last fight against Tommy Fury. On the other hand, Jake Paul defeated formidable combatant Nate Diaz. So, when the fans found the tweet, let?s just say they were not happy about it.

Good news for KSI becomes the butt of all jokes
Since the tweet went live on the platform, it has collected over 109K views, more than 400 hearts, and a lot of criticism. While some dismissed the list altogether, others questioned KSI?s move to number one.
One user mocked the rankings by claiming that the ranking means nothing.
There are people who believe this is real and is similar to pound for pound real boxing rankings??

The next user echoed the same sentiment by poking fun at the list.

Another user described their thoughts on how KSI moved up to the number spot despite losing to Tommy Fury.

Someone else claimed no one on that list is fit to box.
Is it just me or is that entire list unfit to box?

One user outright labeled the list a joke, highlighting the last performances from Jake and KSI.
This is a joke.
Considering KSI's best win is against a gamer and Jake's is against an ex UFC champ.— ? (@studythescripts) November 24, 2023
With that out of the way, KSI?s appeal for the Tommy Fury fight may soon see modifications.
JJ vs. Tommy Fury appeal decision?
Since Tommy was declared the winner, the decision has come under major scrutiny. At one point, the original split decision was changed to a Majority decision. However, KSI did not agree with either of them, so he appealed it the first chance he got. The good news is the appeal may soon see a resolution, according to a tweet from the Happy Punch. ?The PBA will announce the KSI vs Tommy Fury appeal decision within the next 14 days,? wrote Happy Punch.
yeah its taking so long cos they are working on changing the result. confirmed

If the appeal result turns out in KSI?s favor, there might even be a possibility of a rematch between them. KSI would be undefeated again, and Tommy?s perfect record would be tarnished.?
