Following the fight, KSI said, ‘I talked the talk and I walked the walk motherf***er. On the real thought, Joe you are way harder, way tougher than I thought. Fair play, respect for you for getting in the ring and giving me a tough battle, bro.
Meanwhile, Weller responded with, ‘Obviously, I’m gutted. I thought we did everything we could do to defeat JJ, but he prevailed. Those blows, they stun you. 100% respect, he put in the work, and that power is lethal.’
