However, AnEsonGib hasn’t simply remained passive after being accused by KSI. Their exchange of fiery words has circulated across the internet, intensifying the excitement surrounding the semifinals of the Kingpin tournament.
The Saudi Arabian boxer expressed his perplexity at KSI’s recent behavior towards him, considering it to be devoid of significance. As someone who admires KSI, AnEsonGib found it rather peculiar that KSI suddenly started ridiculing him on Twitter just before his most important boxing match.

What did KSI say on AnEsonGib and Kingpyn tournament?
The feud between AnEsonGib and KSI was mainly ignited by a tweet in which KSI mocked the Riyadh-born boxer for earning a relatively low amount of money from his fights.
The owner of Misfits Boxing, referring to AnEsonGib as a “4-Figure Gibber,” insinuated that the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s earnings in the sport only amounted to a four-figure sum.
Fans looking forward to this potentially intense showdown will have the opportunity to witness the action-packed event exclusively on DAZN, available through pay-per-view.
AnEson Gib on a potential fight against KSI:
“After this tournament, I think this fights building up. He’s forgetting his roots. Who showed him the coaches? Who did the training camps? Who traveled across the world to support one another’s fights?”

On the other hand, KSI, who has set his sights on a future showdown with Jake Paul, is ‘reportedly’ on the verge of finalizing a highly anticipated fight against Tommy Fury to resolve their longstanding rivalry in an intense grudge match.
