The internet recently saw KSI shed some pounds and get into impeccable shape. When he fought in a much-hyped match with fellow YouTuber Jake Paul, he went through a tough training regime but over time that physique wore off. Now that he is in the best shape of his life, he aspires to be among the GOATs like Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lewis Hamilton.
KSI, or as his followers know him “JJ”, shot to fame on the internet with his FIFA videos and hilarious commentaries. However, he never kept himself restricted to a particular activity and ventured into different trends ranging from boxing to making vodka.

KSI aspires to be among greats like Lewis Hamilton
JJ fought Brandon “Swarmz” Scott and Luis Pineda on 27 August. The two came in when Alex Wassabi backed out of the bout. JJ had some score to settle with Wassabi as he previously beat his brother Deji in a boxing match. That did not happen but the training KSI had to go through made him a changed man. He admitted to laying off the booze in order to maintain the shape he is in now.
In an interview with Men’s Health, KSI talked about the legacy he wants to leave behind. “My legacy is just to be the GOAT.” He continued, “People look at Michael Jordan and Ronaldo and Lewis Hamilton and all these huge people that have done so much in their career”.
“I want to be up there with them. At first, this wasn’t on my mind. I was just doing it to make a bit of money and get by. But then I just kept pushing. Seeing how far I can go. Now I’m here, I’m like, “Let me just keep going.”‘
