AnEsonGib hits back at ‘unauthentic’ KSI after Misfits Boxing boss backs Slim Albaher to BEAT former friend-turned-rival

ANESONGIB has branded KSI “unauthentic” after his former friend-turned-rival backed Slim Albaher to win their Misfits Boxing bout.

Gib faces Slim in Qatar on on Thursday night to settle years of feuding with the American.

And in a shock twist, KSI has thrown his support to Slim despite his past friendship with Gib.

But Gib told SunSport in response: “It just seemed unauthentic. My guess is he’s trying to sell the fight because everyone else is boring.”

KSI, 31, and Gib, 28, share a mutual circle of friends and even began boxing at the same time in the same gym.

But their relationship strained when Gib started to take shots at KSI’s Misfits promotion – which homes to celebrity-style crossover bouts.

And despite once being signed to fight Slim amid a rivalry of their own – he is in the New Yorker’s corner against newfound enemy Gib.

KSI said: “I want Slim to win. I want Slim to put down Gib once and for all because this brother’s been talking for the longest time.

“And now I know everyone’s saying me and Gib are friends, this, this, that, that. Me and Gib aren’t friends.

“We hardly ever talk, OK. So let’s get this straight, we sparred, I beat him, I destroyed him, he is not on my level.

“So I want Slim to show the world that he is better than Gib and finally shut him up.”

Already talk has turned to a grudge match between KSI and Gib down the line.

But Gib responded: “I’m taking out the best at 168 so I can’t wait to do that and I’m not looking past Slim.

“We are three days away from a fight, we’re solely focussed on that fight.”
