KSI says he would "f**k up" Floyd Mayweather if they ever fought in a boxing bout.

50-0 Mayweather recently took part in a eight-round exhibition with Logan Paul, who KSI beat via split decision in his professional boxing debut in November 2019.

Paul was able to surprise everyone by lasting the full eight rounds in the ring with one of the greats in Miami.

KSI appeared on his former YouTuber rival's IMPAULSIVE podcast and Paul's co-host George Janko asked if he was in any way jealous that 'The Maverick' was fighting Mayweather at the Hard Rock Stadium.

The 28-year-old replied, saying: "I mean I'd f*** up Mayweather but that's another..."

KSI didn't appear completely serious as he laughed afterwards but Paul reckons there's scope for another exhibition fight for Mayweather

"Hey Floyd, I may have some money for you man," Paul said, speaking directly to the camera.

The podcast returned back to the topic later on in the episode, with KSI continuing: "People will be like, 'What? KSI thinks he could beat Mayweather? Shut up.'

"And then it's like, 'Alright, cool, let's go then."

"Then it happens and everyone's like, 'Oh damn."

KSI and Paul feuded back in the day when they were doing battle inside the squared circle, but the two appear to get on well now.

So much so, that KSI is backing his former opponent to beat former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

"Even with you and [Mike] Tyson. I think you could beat Tyson."

"Thank you," was the response from Paul, before KSI added: "Yeah, and I know a lot of people are gonna be like, 'Ah, what the f*** JJ?

"But you've gotta remember, this isn't Tyson who's 18, this is Tyson who's [55]...

"He's a legend, that's the thing, but people don't understand that we train like boxers, man, because we're going in there with the world watching."

Paul had previously claimed he could beat Tyson in a fight, however his next foray into the ring could come against UFC legend Anderson Silva - the American's manager claiming talks are ongoing.

As for KSI, he is reportedly slated to face another YouTuber in 29-year-old Austin McBroom in the future.
