The stage has been set for KSI’s return to the ring against British professional boxer Tommy Fury. This marks his first step out of influencer boxing following in the footsteps of Jake Paul. After his previous controversial win over Joe Fournier, this fight can be seen as his chance to clear his name and possibly get rid of the nickname ‘Elbowman,’ that fans have given him ever since the incident. The fight is scheduled to take place on October 14, 2023, at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. It is the main card event for the Misfits × DAZN collaboration- The PRIME Card.

As the day of the fight inches closer, the tensions are rising as well. While Fury has made it his mission to end YouTube boxing, KSI sees this as a chance to prove himself better than Paul. Moreover, being from the Fury family and a professional boxer, Tommy Fury is definitely the favorite for the match-up. However, KSI doesn’t plan to go down without a fight. Recently, he shared a training montage on social media. In the video, he went all out on the vertical climbing machine to the point that he almost passed out in the end. This raises a concern among the fans as the question arises- is KSI overworking himself?

As the video of KSI almost passing out surfaced, it went viral, and the fans were left stunned in disbelief. The responses appeared to be mixed with concern and disbelief as fans wondered if the YouTuber had filmed a fake video. One fan shared his concern, pointing out that working out to such length cannot be good for KSI. He wrote, “Surely this is not good for your body.”

Another fan questioned if such training is good or not, writing, “Is that good tho? probs not.” Furthermore, he added, “I get pushing urself but overtraining is a real thing.”

Meanwhile, one fan shared his hope that the co-owner of PRIME Hydration “doesn’t pass out in the ring...”

However, one fan didn’t believe what was shown in the video. He wrote, “Clearly faking.”

Another fan also wrote a sarcastic remark pointing out the possibility of the video being fake. He wrote, “Was there a bit of acting involved?”

Someone else joined in and joked about how KSI would’ve told his people about his idea for the video. He even shared what he thinks must’ve been his reaction while checking the video.
