ANTHONY TAYLOR is ready to “run through” a series of YouTube boxing rivals in order to earn a fight against the likes of KSI.
Taylor, a veteran MMA contender, shot to recognition as Jake Paul’s former sparring partner.

KSI has been called out by Anthony Taylor
It got him the chance to fight on the American’s undercard twice, in losses to Tommy Fury, 23, and Chris Avila, 29.
But it also paved the way for Taylor, 33, to become a staple within the new age of influencer boxing.
He recently beat Rak-Su singer Ashley Fongho, 30, in September and floored the musician with the first punch he threw.
Now Taylor has dared the likes of KSI, 29, to share the ring with him and is happy to knock over his friends in the process.
He told SunSport: “They’re not going to allow KSI, Deji or AnEsonGib to fight me. I’m too much of a risk for those fighters.
“They are scared of me, they won’t mention my name, these guys don’t mention my names, their coaches don’t want this business with me and my team-mates.
“These guys, they fear me, they know what I’m capable of and the destruction I can do.
“KSI knows I’d knock him out, Deji knows I’d knock him out. AnEsonGib knows I’d knock him out.
“These YouTubers come into the game and disrespect me, thinking I’m a joke, fight me if you think I’m a joke.
“If I have to build my way up to get these big fights and run through these YouTubers, then great.”
Taylor returns on Sunday night in Dubai against 2018 Love Island winner Jack Fincham, 31, making his professional debut.
The crossover boxer has stolen the show throughout fight week and even campaigned to face Floyd Mayweather, 45.
Mayweather headlines over the weekend against KSI’s brother Deji, 25, but Taylor wants to be the boxing legend’s next dance partner.
He said: “Floyd will make a more entertaining fight with me than he will with Deji. Deji doesn’t promote, he barely talks, he doesn’t have a personality.
“I’m Pretty Boy, I took Floyd’s name, I’m flamboyant, I’m spontaneous and I’m characteristic, like Apollo Creed.
“I have that wow factor to sell a fight, I carried that whole fight with Tommy Fury. Tommy didn’t do nothing, I did all of the work.
“It makes sense because I have the accolades to fight Floyd in an exhibition.”
