KSI has invited a Swedish football legend to join the Misfits boxing league, and fans are rooting for this big partnership. 

JJ Olatunji, aka KSI, is one of the biggest personalities in the entertainment industry. He has amassed a massive fan following through Youtube. He has a versatile portfolio with different industries like business, sports, content creation, and more. For instance, he is a co-founder of PRIME Hydration along with Logan Paul. He is also a member of the sidemen, has turned into a professional boxer, and runs multiple youtube channels.

JJ also co-founded Misfits Boxing in 2020, inviting creators to show off their skills. It was to give a platform to celebrity-turned-boxers and host high-stakes tournaments for them. And now, it looks like it is set to take the next step as its founder called out Zlatan Ibrahimović.

KSI wants Zlatan Ibrahimović to try his hand at boxing 

Recently, Misfits Boxing hosted KSI for a short video-form conversation. There, the show host asked JJ about his thoughts regarding the Swedish football legend. They wanted to understand how KSI would feel if Zlatan were to join the Misfits Boxing community. 

So, here’s what the Youtuber-turned-boxer said, “I would love for that to happen, that would be incredible! I’ve seen him on the bag, he looks like he can bang. Let’s go, bro, get in the ring. Get in the squared circle mate.” Zlatan has recently retired from football. AC Milan’s massive fanbase gave him the perfect sendoff as the team played its final match of the season against Hellas Verona.

It was the first time when the lion cried himself, and so did the football world. But then, they were keen to know what he had planned next, as Zlatan always had a progressive attitude. Now, with KSI inviting him for boxing, the question is will he consider it? After all, the AC Milan player has no prior experience in boxing but does share a love for taekwondo.
