On April 1st, amidst the customary pranks and jests of the day, KSI, the YouTube sensation turned boxer, seized the opportunity to engage in some good-natured trolling aimed at his boxing nemesis, Jake Paul.
I’m back baby! Fighting 75 year old legend and former champ. Don’t worry, age ain’t nothing but a number. Forman hits harder and is faster than ever before! pic.twitter.com/7JTndGLzTp

A Mockery in Good Spirits
In a playful jab at Jake Paul’s recent announcement of a bout with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, KSI took to social media with a spoof of his own. The prank? A mock announcement of a bout between KSI and another heavyweight icon, George Foreman.
The Satirical Showdown
In KSI’s comical fantasy fight poster, the clash between KSI and Foreman is set to take place on “NOTflix,” featuring exaggerated rules such as “5-second rounds,” “150 oz gloves,” and even the twist of “no punching allowed.” With a tongue-in-cheek attitude, KSI quipped, “Forman hits harder and is faster than ever before!”
Embracing the Spirit of the Day
This lighthearted prank not only showcased KSI’s sense of humor but also provided a moment of levity in the midst of the often intense world of combat sports. By choosing to playfully engage with the April Fool’s tradition, KSI added a touch of entertainment to the ongoing narrative surrounding his boxing career.
A Reminder of Reality
While the prank may have elicited laughter from fans, it also served as a reminder of the serious business that lies ahead for KSI. Following his recent pro loss to Tommy Fury, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is undoubtedly strategizing his next move in the ring.
Social Media Shenanigans
KSI wasn’t the only one participating in the April Fool’s Day fun. Across social media platforms, the combat sports community engaged in a variety of antics and jests, adding a dose of humor to the typically serious landscape of MMA and boxing.
Betty’s Note
In the world of combat sports, where rivalries often run deep and tensions can run high, KSI’s April Fool’s prank offered a refreshing moment of light-heartedness. As fans eagerly await KSI’s next move in the ring, they can also appreciate the human side of their favorite fighters, who, like everyone else, enjoy a good laugh now and then.
