YouTube star KSI vs Ryan Garcia: What we know so far

Former boxing world champion Ryan Garcia has called out YouTube sensation KSI, offering him the opportunity to step into the boxing ring. While many traditional boxing fans and experts have been critical of influencer boxing events, some professional fighters have embraced the trend. Notably, Floyd Mayweather fought Logan Paul and Deji, and now former Lightweight champion Ryan "KingRy" Garcia is joining the conversation.


Garcia has been a vocal supporter of influencer boxing, even praising Jake Paul for his accomplishments in the ring back in April 2022. He believes that these influencers deserve more recognition for their contributions to the sport.


Recently, Garcia and KSI have engaged in a back-and-forth exchange. KSI questioned whether Garcia's next fight against Oscar Duarte would be available on pay-per-view (PPV), to which Garcia responded negatively.

In response, KSI accused the former Lightweight champion of disappointing his fans with his last fight against Gervonta Davis, which marked the first loss of Garcia's career.

While the exchange suggests a potential rivalry, it's unlikely that KSI and Garcia will actually face off in the boxing ring. KSI is currently preparing for his upcoming fight against Tommy Fury on October 14 and has hinted at the possibility of retiring after this bout.
