KSI mocked by fans after making bold Canelo and Beterbiev claim ahead of Tommy Fury fight

KSI has been mocked online after he recently claimed he could beat the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Artur Beterbiev.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to fight Tommy Fury at the AO Arena in Manchester this weekend and was speaking whilst being tattooed by Vivid Ink, as you can see in the video below.

Having already beaten the likes of Logan Paul, Joe Weller and FaZe Temperrr, JJ's confidence is clear to see.

''It's kind of weird but I honestly feel like at the end of camp I could fight anyone and give it a good f****** go,'' he began.

''Whether it's Canelo, whether it's Bivol, Beterbiev, anyone. I just feel like I am on a different level.

"But that's just the training and in reality, I know if I fight these guys I know they are technically way better than me and they know how to beat me."

Fans online haven't taken kindly to JJ's remarks and have since downplayed his claims he could beat any fighter on his day.

"Damn I can’t wait for Tommy to humble him. Only a couple more days,'' one posted."

"In his dreams he'd still lose,'' another fan wrote.

"Imagine KSI thinking he can be on the same level as these athletes," another added.

"I need some of that KSI is smoking," Thyrone wrote.

"He would get KO’d inside one minute," @ZTftbl posted.

"KSI is nothing but an entertainer, clowning his way around," Kyle said online.
