Conor McGregor Calls Out KSI for Boxing Match Following Criticism of His Music

KSI’s latest release, “Thick Of It,”has sparked significant backlash from both fans and fellow content creators, with many labeling it as one of the YouTuber’s least impressive tracks. Conor McGregor has taken it a step further by expressing his interest in stepping into the boxing ring with KSI, motivated solely by his discontent with the song.

As a highly accomplished and active fighter, McGregor has yet to face off against any of the so-called influencer boxers who have emerged in recent years.

Despite personalities like Jake Paul and KSI establishing themselves within the boxing world and having previously engaged with professional fighters, a considerable number of seasoned boxers have opted to avoid the influencer boxing arena.

This trend, however, appears to be shifting, with upcoming fights like Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul set for November 15. In a surprising twist, McGregor has thrown down a challenge to KSI, all stemming from his displeasure regarding the latter’s musical endeavor.

“I’ll face him just for that terrible song he put out! It’s all about that one track!” the fighter declared.

This incident follows KSI’s response to critiques of his music, where he claimed that there’s a trend of negativity aimed at him, asserting that the backlash towards his song is unjustified.

On another note, renowned rapper Drake has been playfully using KSI’s track to taunt individuals like Adin Ross, humorously branding it a “banger”to annoy others.

In addition, KSI has been making waves by repeatedly calling out fellow YouTuber DanTDM after Dan criticized Lunchly, a stance KSI has taken offense to, leading to multiple confrontations on social media.

Even among KSI’s most dedicated followers, doubts have begun to surface, with many hesitating to defend him as his subreddit has shifted into an arena of frequent criticism related to the ongoing controversies surrounding the YouTuber.
