KSI (JJ) has recently spark controversy amongst his opponent, insisting he could give both Alvarez and Beterbiev a real good go giving his battling mindset.
He said via Vivid Ink: ''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.
''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, and subsequently his next opponent Fury haven't taken kindly to his words and given he only has one professional fight under his belt, it is very much a bold claim.
Speaking to Boxing Social earlier this week, the 24-year-old Mancunian provided his reaction, insisting his words often go in one ear and out the other.
“I’m not even gonna react to them comments … Jake Paul’s comments and this man’s comments about getting in the ring with fighters like that, you’ve just got to dismiss them straightaway,'' he told Boxing Social.

''It’s complete and utter bulls**t.”
