KSI has revealed his top five influencer boxing list – but admitted he is not yet top of the pile.

The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star returned last weekend against businessman-turned 9-0 fighter Joe Fournier.

But it ended in controversy when an accidental but illegal elbow knocked out Fournier.

The KO win is now under review by the Professional Boxing Association – who sanctioned the bout.

And KSI admitted he expects the result to be overturned to a no-contest although he has no interest in a rematch.

He instead wants to fight Tommy Fury next, the man who beat his arch rival Jake Paul in February.

KSI ranks Fury as the best boxer in the celebrity scene and believes only a victory can see him surpass the ex-Love Islander.

Asked to rank his top five, KSI said on The MMA Hour: “Top five, okay, Tommy Fury’s number one.

“He beat Jake. I’m an honest guy. I haven’t lost, but I haven’t fought Tommy.

“Number two I’ll put me. Number three I’ll put Jake. Number four – Anthony Taylor. I’ll put Anthony Taylor in there.

“And then number five, I’m gonna throw a little spanner in the works and I’m gonna say Deji.

“I was very impressed with how he looks. I was very impressed.”

Fury, 24, beat Paul, 26, by split-decision in Saudi Arabia in February, becoming the first to beat him.

The American snubbed a rematch to instead return against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on August 5 in Texas.

So KSI, 29, has set his sights on Fury to try and finish what his great nemesis started.

Meanwhile, Paul’s former sparring partner Taylor, 33, has become a star of KSIs Misfits Boxing promotion.

He beat TikTok sensation Salt Papi, 29, in the biggest win of his career.

And also on the undercard, KSI’s brother Deji, 26, beat rapper Swarmz, 26, to get back to winning ways.
