A potential online rivalry between the UK-based YouTuber and boxer, JJ "KSI," and pro-boxer Ryan Garcia appears to be developing. To provide context, the former recently claimed in an interview that he could survive all rounds in a hypothetical boxing match against the latter. This statement has naturally elicited a reaction from the professional boxer.

The rivalry has now escalated on Twitter, where the English YouTuber took a jab at Ryan Garcia, poking fun at Garcia's recent loss to Gervonta Davis. Here's what he wrote:

"After your last performance, seeing you give up like that, you already robbed your fans loool. It makes sense that you’re not tryna put this (Ryan's upcoming fight) on PPV."
