Lately, YouTube boxing has become extremely popular online. Fighters such as Jake Paul, KSI, and Tommy Fury have garnered a lot of attention in this niche.

The fighter claimed that the fights against YouTubers are a ‘side job.’ He then compared these match-ups to ‘a radiator fitting.’ The hilarious comparisons and name-calling failed to end there as the Irishman continued the insults.
“If I was to pick one out, KSI has a big name in the UK,” said McGregor. Out of the prominent fighters in the space, The Irishman picked British YouTuber and Rapper KSI to enter the ring against. However, The Notorious claimed that he is interested in fighting everyone in the YouTube boxing space and said, “I’m sure at some stage, we’ll go through all of these guys.”
He also expressed his interest in a fight against heavyweight boxing legend Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy Fury. “Fury called me out. He beat Jake and he fought KSI, it’s just another world. I’m open for it,” revealed McGregor.
