Yes, obviously, I regret that. That’s not who I am. Outside of the boxing industry, I’m a calm and collected individual. The adrenaline is high during fight week, and everyone gets worked up. I felt he disrespected me by throwing the water bottle, so I reciprocated. But that’s not my usual behavior.”
KSI acknowledged that he aspires to learn from his mistakes, emphasizing his role as a role model. He mentioned that he has the word “legacy” tattooed on his back. Signifies its importance to him, despite acknowledging that he’s not infallible. His goal is to inspire others by his actions.
