KSI proved me wrong last night with his knockout victory against Faze Temper.

Many boxing experts predicted KSI to lose the fight, and I wrote a full article right here on evolution 107.9 stating I think KSI will lose:
However, I don’t think KSI gains much from this win. Faze was only 1-1 as a boxer so he really had all to gain and nothing to lose coming into this fight. For Faze, boxing was more of a hobby and he only took this short notice fight for the payday.
KSI has stated on multiple occasions that he wants to pursuit boxing in a more professional way and eventually fight youtube boxing star Jake Paul. If he keeps fighting people that have no real talent or boxing ability hes not going to gain any in ring skills. And what KSI desperately needs is some solid in ring skills.
Ive seen KSI’s sparring footage and honestly its not half bad. But when he gets into the ring in front of a crowd it seems his training escapes him and he throws wild haymakers. What he needs is a step up in competition that he will actually have to use his skill for, not just power. This is the exact route Jake Paul took and it paid off great for him.
So where does KSI go from here? I think a match against Salt Papi would be good for him. Salt papi is 3-0 and has some actual boxing skills. This is the perfect test for KSI and a very logical next step. Salt Papi even called KSI out after his win last night.
If KSI is able to beat Salt Papi then he should take that next step to fight Jake Paul.
Time will tell if this match happens next!
