KSI took to social media to issue a withering response to Jake Paul’s win over Nate Diaz on Saturday night.
The American YouTuber-turned-boxer beat the UFC icon on points, though it was his opponent who came away celebrating.

“That Jake Paul performance was terrible,” KSI tweeted alongside a promotional poster for his fight with Tommy Fury.
“October 14 you get to watch a real fight and challenge.”
Paul vs Diaz began dramatically as the social media star hurt the MMA fighter in the opening round.
Paul wobbled Diaz early and proceeded to unleash a flurry of shots that had him on the ropes as he desperately tried to stay in his boxing debut.
Diaz managed to survive and improved as the rounds went on.
He finally appeared to win a round in the fourth as Paul started to look a bit tired for the first time in the fight.
However, in round five Paul caught Diaz with a clean left hook to score a knockdown and almost send his opponent flying out of the ring.
The 26-year-old rushed in for the finish but was unable to find it.
In the second half of the fight, both men seemed tired at times and Paul’s boxing experience was key to him winning most of the rounds.
It was very scrappy action at times though and went the full ten-round distance with Paul unable to win by knockout.
He was declared the winner by unanimous decision, but Diaz claimed moral victory with many nonplussed by Paul’s performance, including KSI.
