KSI responds after UFC lightweight's repeated criticism of the YouTuber's boxing skills
YouTube star-turned-boxer KSI felt he had to respond to UFC lightweight Terrance McKinney after being criticized by the fighter on Twitter.
KSI headlined MF & DAZN: X Series 004's card this past weekend, facing late replacement FaZe Temperrr. The Brit was originally set to face Bellator's Dillon Danis but the controversial MMA fighter pulled out of the fight just two weeks before the bout.
'The Nightmare' lived up to his name on the night, however, and sent a message to Jake Paul after delivering a stunning first-round knockout.

During the night of fights, which included a card stacked with influencers and boxers, UFC lightweight Terrance McKinney spent the evening on Twitter criticizing 'The Nightmare's boxing ability, stating that Jake Paul would knock him out:
"That man is not a good boxer, Jake Paul sleeps him before the final round"

After his highlight reel finish over the weekend, KSI sarcastically responded to 'T. Wrecks' with a smiley face:
"@twrecks155 :)"

MF & DAZN: X Series 004 proved to be another successful event for influencer boxing, and saw the British YouTube star continue to make a push for a bout with 'The Problem Child'.
The 29-year-old has regularly stated his plan to rack up a number of wins before facing Paul, something he did by moving his exhibition record to 3-0 with his latest victory.

Jake Paul responds to KSI following his victory over FaZe Temperrr
Former Disney channel star Jake Paul responded to KSI after his KO victory over FaZe Temperrr this past weekend.
Following his victory, the 29-year-old once again took aim at 'The Problem Child' and claimed that a fight versus Paul would be the pinnacle of his boxing career. In his post-fight interview, 'The Nightmare' said:
“I need more tests until I reach the final level, the final point. Jake motherf***ing Paul.”
Jake Paul responded to the callout and claimed that he enjoys watching the British YouTuber winning fights because it gives him a false sense of confidence:
"I love when KSI wins because it gives him more confdience for him to actually get in the ring with me."

'The Problem Child' also took a shot at the British YouTuber for putting him as his goal. In comparison, Paul's dream opponent is boxing champion Canelo Alvarez:
"When you repeatedly admit your career is based on reaching me as the final level, the final point, you are acknowledging that I am the A-side. Same for me when I reach Canelo as my final level. Canelo is the A-side."
