    Reality TV star Joey Essex has joked he would "leather" KSI if the two were ever to meet in a boxing ring.<\/p>\n

    Essex spoke to IFL TV after KSI was defeated by Tommy Fury in the YouTubers Misfits promotion. The TOWIE star said it's been a dream of his to step into the ring – and he could do so against KSI. <\/p>\n

    He said: "If I was to do boxing, I'm doing that for me, you know what I mean? I've never done that before, but I've got it written on my bucket list. In my life I want to win some kind of gold medal, and this will be my gold medal and I'll absolutely leather someone…"<\/p>\n

    Essex was then asked if we had any beef with the individuals in the social media boxing space – such as KSI or Jake Paul. And he responded: "Someone told me that KSI's got a problem with me, but there's no problem here – unless he wants a problem. <\/p>\n

    "I would leather him I reckon, especially after seeing that fight the other week!"<\/p>\n

    Essex revealed he has a history in boxing when appearing on SAS Who Dares Wins, he revealed: "I wanted to fight when I was a kid, I loved it, I loved boxing. <\/p>\n

    "I used to train quite a lot, my uncle sort of put a stop to it, I remember he said, 'You can't be a fighter, you're too pretty'."<\/p>\n
