KSI vs. Tommy Fury: Ryan Garcia responds to KSI's prediction for potential fight

KSI vs. Tommy Fury: Ryan Garcia responds to KSI's prediction for potential fightEsther Lin/SHOWTIME
A rivalry is brewing between the two stars.

KSI is frequently linked with some of the biggest names in combat sports as a result of his popularity and now another name seems to be in the mix in the form of Ryan Garcia. 

Garcia, like KSI, has utilised his huge social media following to enhance his brand and bring a whole new audience to boxing, and if the two were to meet it could easily be one of the biggest events within crossover boxing. 

Speaking ahead of his clash with Tommy Fury, KSI was asked by DAZN about whether he could go the full distance with Garcia, and he believes his awkward style may be a problem for the 25-year-old. 

"It would be a good fight," KSI said.

"But obviously I’m quite heavy, he’s going to think he can destroy me. I’m awkward."

Garcia then took to social media to respond to this claim and is confused as to why the British entertainment star is looking to start a rivalry.

"KSI is so salty on me for no reason," Garcia wrote on X

"He can't go the distance with me like he claimed. 

"He's a 7 head monster. Stop speaking my name. @KSI."
