KSI was charged with refusing to spar with Hasim Rahman Jr.
This heavyweight prospect is coming into the fight after a loss to McKenzie Morrison in April.
The manager of KSI uploaded a video about the defeat to Twitter. It was liked by British celebrities.
Rahman Jr., 31 years old, has reacted to the online goading, stating that KSI, 29 did not want him to be spared in America.
No Limits Podcast interviewed him and said: "They can have what they want. KSI wouldn't spar with me in the ring. KSI would not spare me.
"So, I mean that he can like, tweet, and do whatever else he pleases.
"He wanted Viddal fight me, or whatever, because he doesn’t want to fight him.
"I tried to spar KSI when he was in Vegas. He said, "No, he is too big." You're a man, I mean."
Rahman Jr. could have been referring to the time KSI was preparing for Jake's rematch against Logan, 27, in Vegas in 2019.
KSI saved Hasim Rahman Sr.'s brother Muhsin Cson during that camp.
Viddal Riley (24 years old) was once scheduled to fight Rahman Jr., but was forced out by an injury.
After Tommy Fury, 23, couldn't travel Stateside due to visa issues, the son of a legend was called in to help.
He also defended his loss to Morrison (31-year-old), whose father Tommy held the heavyweight title.
Rahman Jr. said that "These guys have a lot of child fans, I'm no kid."
"I don't like KSI, I don’t care what he likes, I don’t care about retweeting and what we have to say.
"I don’t even know his manager. They want to replay me being dropped 1000 times. It doesn't matter.
"You know that there is only one heavyweight champion in the world who has never been on the canvas?"
"Only one of all heavyweight champions in the world can say that he has never been knocked out. Vitali Klitschko is that champion.
"Aside from that, every other heavyweight champion has been able to touch the canvas at some point.
"So, I say it to say, it happens. It's boxing. It's the heavyweight division.
"I was fighting a man that was 19-0 with 17 knockout. That's crazy knockout ratio, and I was only 12-0. That fight was a risk that I took.
