KSI’s manager confirms Jake Paul fight is happening in 2023 YouTube: BS w/ Jake Paul / JJ OlatunjiKSI’s manager Mams Taylor has confirmed the long-awaited fight between KSI and Jake Paul is happening sometime in 2023. It’s no secret that over the last year or so, Jake Paul and KSI have wanted to go at it in the ring. The two popular YouTubers have gone at it quite a bit recently, with KSI bashing Jake for taking easier fights just to avoid going against him, while KSI’s camp went on record saying the fight will happen sometime in 2023. KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has doubled down on that in a tweet on October 27. KSI’s manager confirms Jake Paul fight for 2023 In the tweet, he said: “KSI v Jake Paul WILL be happening in 2023.” The only thing unknown about the highly sought-after bout is when exactly it’ll happen. Fans were quick to reply to Mam’s tweet with speculation, however. One user replied: “KSI fights in January, June/July and December is Jake?” We already know that Logan Paul is set to return to boxing in January 2023 alongside KSI and Jidion, but KSI has yet to confirm who he’s going up against during that event. A fight card for the event leaked on October 20 that has KSI going up against Nate Diaz, but we’ll have to wait to see if it’s real. In the meantime, head over to our entertainment section to check out more news — and we’ll update you as soon as we hear more about KSI v Jake Paul.

KSI’s coach reveals bleak news for future of Jake Paul boxing match KSI, Jake Paul – InstagramYouTube stars KSI and Jake Paul have ignited yet another chapter of their infamous beef with a potential boxing match — but the British YouTuber’s coach may have put a halt to any fights in the near future. After Logan Paul lost his 2019 rematch against KSI by a two-point deduction, little brother Jake swore revenge for the defeat, which he claims was only brought about by a “bad call.” With KSI ultimately agreeing to a potential fight with the Team 10 founder, things heated up even more after Jake’s win against AnEsonGib on January 30, when the two came face-to-face in the boxing ring. However, things have been relatively quiet in regards to scheduling news of their possible bout, although both stars have predicted swift victories for themselves in spite of the radio silence. This information drought was brought to a screeching halt in late February, after KSI’s boxing coach and fellow content creator Viddal Riley claimed that a fight with the youngest Paul brother is out of the question — for this year, at least. According to an interview with YouTube’s ‘Pro Boxing Fans,’ Riley claimed that KSI is far too busy with his music to successfully cordon off practice time for such a weighty grudge match, and claimed with confidence that any future boxing matches wouldn’t take place in 2020. “Definitely not this year,” Riley answered when prompted about the match’s timetable. “JJ’s booked for too many tours already, too many festivals.” “There is no time for training, and I told him don’t take anyone lightly. Don’t come off of your tour and think you’re just gonna get into camp and fight Jake. You lock off your music. You lock-off everything and then talk.” (Timestamp: 9:36 for mobile readers) This news comes shortly after Paul claimed that his fight with KSI would take place during July in Saudi Arabia, which was quickly denied by KSI, who revealed that he is scheduled to perform at music festivals that month. https://www.instagram.com/p/B86Ja5Fgpb4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Thus far, things are looking grim for the future of YouTube’s biggest grudge match, leaving fans and critics alike wondering if the two social media celebrities will ever even face-off at all.

KSI’s ex-coach explains why Jake Paul fight won’t happen in 2023 despite agreement KSI’s trainer Leon Willis and former coach Viddal Riley have explained why the Jake Paul fight won’t happen in 2023, despite both parties agreeing. KSI vs Jake Paul is arguably one of the most anticipated fights right now. Since 2018, the two YouTube sensations have nonstop went back and forth. Throwing virtual jabs at one another through social media, fans expect them to eventually touch gloves sometime in 2023 after both agreed to a massive “winner takes all” fight. However, according to KSI’s fitness trainer and his former boxing coach, the bout is unlikely to go ahead in this year. Ex-KSI coach explains why Jake fight won’t happen in 2023 In a January 7 video, Leon Willis and Viddal Riley laid out exactly why the anticipated fight may not come in 2023, despite both sides already agreeing. According to KSI’s trainer, Jake Paul’s recent MMA deal as well as weight disputes will make the fight hard to negotiate. “Him and JJ’s not fighting this year man, it’s not happening,” said Willis. “It’s not happening, bro he’s just signed a deal here, you know how many millions? “Yeah it’s not happening, and you got to think about the weights as well. JJ’s what, 175, he’s 185, and Mams put out a tweet saying JJ’s 171,” he explained. Leon continued: “How are they going to come to negotiations? Because they want Jake to come here, he’s going to say if I’m coming here why do I have to drop to 175? He’s going to want some leeway, some leverage. So it’s going to be a tough one to negotiate.” “He won’t be able to A-side the thing like he used to,” Viddal added. “Someone’s going to have to lower their end of the deal and look at the bigger picture.” Fans are eager to see the two finally step in the wrong, but it looks like we may have to wait a little longer than expected.

KSI’s beef with brother Deji ends in a surprising conclusion KSI, Deji – YouTubeYouTube siblings Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Deji Olatunji have been feuding since late November, after Deji exposed KSI’s bank records in a diss track. Now, the two appear to have made up, according to a Tweet KSI posted on December 5. KSI blocked Deji on social media after learning that her had revealed his bank records during a diss track to Sidemen member Randolph on November 27. In addition, Deji later claimed that his brother had gotten a girl pregnant – even insinuating that he’d pressured her to abort the child. No matter what happens between us, I’ll always love you. I’m sorry @deji— KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 5, 2018 While things looked grim for the brothers, their feud may be settled, as KSI Tweeted out an apology to Deji on December 5. “No matter what happens between us, I’ll always love you,” KSI wrote. “I’m sorry, Deji.” While Deji has yet to respond to the post, KSI’s Tweet may have been in response to a video that his brother posted just three hours prior, where he claimed that KSI “always puts friends over family” and is attempting to “ruin his credibility.” “He tried to ruin me and it didn’t work,” Deji said of the scandal. “It didn’t work, and he’s pissed. That’s why he’s blocked me on social media.” Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem reached out to the brothers for statements on their feud on December 1, publishing DMs with the YouTubers that revealed serious bad blood between the two. However, KSI appears to have put the past behind him, now focusing on his feud with YouTube rapper ‘Quadeca,’ who roasted both he and Logan Paul in a scathing diss track on November 23.

KSI’s beef with Joe Weller takes a hilarious turn It seems the rivalry between Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Joe Weller isn’t over yet, as their epic feud continued thanks to a hilarious video uploaded by KSI on Sunday, January 13. While the pair have mostly refrained from commenting about each other since their boxing match back in February 2018, Olatunji reacted to a video that showed Weller in another fight, taking on F2 Freestylers’ Jeremy Lynch in an incredibly slippy ring. The video of KSI mocking Weller and Lynch for their contest prompted Joe to respond, and took the rivalry between the pair to funny new heights. While claiming that KSI was still obsessed with him and was “petty”, Weller stated that he was going to stoop to the same level – by playing an unreleased KSI track that the YouTuber had decided to not make public. “How does he have this?” asked KSI to Andrew ‘Randolph’ Shane, who has worked with the Englishman on previous tracks. “We never finished this track! It was a parody track, none of the lyrics are real.” While Weller made fun of the pair for the song, dissecting the lyrics and criticizing them, KSI feels like his rival missed the point, explaining that the track was created as part of his parody rap group with Randolph back in 2013, and the songs were never meant to be taken seriously. At the end of the video, Joe Weller states that he is happy to leave the beef in the past, but if Olatunji was to respond, he does have one more thing he could release, prompting KSI to say: “I want to know what it is. Let’s do it!” For those hoping for a rematch of their boxing fight, which KSI won by technical knockout in round 3, it seems you will likely be disappointed, as Olatunji is currently slated to face Logan Paul for a second time later in 2019.

KSI Went on Tinder as ‘The Boxing Champ’ in a Prank Video – and Made Some Unlikely Matches YouTuber and white-collar boxer KSI decided to go on Tinder as ‘The Boxing Champ’ in a prank video – and ended up having some hilarious encounters. Since his boxing match with Logan Paul, KSI felt that he’d earned some newfound fame, and decided to take to the location-based dating app Tinder to test his luck in romance. Of course, that meant creating a profile on the platform – which he had some fun creating. KSI made sure to advertise his fighting prowess, posting pictures of himself clad in full boxing apparel. He likewise included shots of himself standing on a balcony with a bottle of champagne in the background, stunting inside his home with wads of cash, a stand-alone of his belt, as well as kicking back reading a… rather interesting selection of literature. After creating his bio, KSI copped Tinder Gold and saw nine likes – eight of them from men. As it happens, the YouTube boxing star had accidentally set his interests in the male species, rather than women. He received some hilarious messages on the outset, to boot. One user, named Amy, simply sent a “:/” face, while a girl named Kirsty immediately questioned the validity of his fight with Logan Paul. “A draw? Really?” One man even asked if KSI would pass his number along to Logan Paul. After wantonly swiping right on a series of profiles, he received a match from a name that his team had censored throughout the video. Presumably, this person was a man with an interest in KSI, who jokingly asked for the user’s number. He called the person in question only to get hung up on. The individual revealed that he was married, much to KSI’s astonishment. “Will call you soon, wife close by.” The video ended with a teaser for a second installment, showing a phone call between KSI and the married Tinder user. While we have yet to learn of this person’s identity, fans can expect more drama in the second episode.

KSI wins Logan Paul boxing rematch by split decision Logan Paul, KSI – InstagramYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul touched gloves in the Los Angeles Staples Center to settle their long-running grudge for good – and, after a year and a half of waiting, it was KSI who reigned victorious. Following three explosive press conferences, a star-studded weigh-in, and months of trash talk, KSI secured the victory on November 9 by a split decision from the judges, sending the online world reeling. KSI took the win after six rounds of explosive boxing in a close fight, managing to down Logan Paul in round three with a shot behind the head. While KSI suffered a knockdown in the fourth round, being scored 55 – 56 / 57-54 / 56-55 tipped the scales in his favor, finally sealing his beef with Paul for good. KSI and Logan Paul met at their pre-fight weigh-in on November 8, which resulted in a slew of trash talk ahead of their November 9 rematch. With KSI being coached by Viddal Riley and Paul under the guidance of Shannon Briggs, both entertainers brought the heat to November 9’s main event: a bout that has ended in mutual respect from both parties. “The KSI last time was scared,” KSI said of his victory. “I was scared to touch [Logan Paul]. I was scared to get close to him. This time, I just went in. I just kept going. …I’m a dog. He hit me hard, and then he hit me in the back of the head. Your boy is happy, your boy is victorious. …I am a fighter and I keep going. That’s it.” “It takes a big man to get in the ring,” he continued, after shaking hands with his opponent. “You made me work today. Thank you for a good fight, brother.” KSI secured the win by split decision by the judges. While Logan Paul made up with his rival, he contested this decision from the commission, arguing that he shouldn’t have lost two points for hitting KSI while he was down after scoring a knockdown in the fourth round. Logan Paul’s loss comes as a huge surprise to viewers as he was deemed the favorite to take the fight, with KSI penned as the bout’s underdog. According to online betting platform Bovada, their money line bet placed KSI as the dark horse at a whopping -200, with odds for Paul sitting at +160. This rematch comes a year and a half after the YouTubers’ initial bout on August 25, 2018, which resulted in a majority draw that disappointed fans, critics, and the fighters, themselves. Read More: Jake Paul hints at “moving on” from YouTube – Following this result, a leaked contract revealed a two-fight deal for the internet stars, with their rematch slated for February 2019 – but due to conflicts with Logan Paul’s team, their second bout was moved to November 9. Streamed exclusively on sports broadcasting services DAZN and Sky Sports Box Office, the rematch wasn’t available on YouTube, unlike last year – and although viewership for the bout has yet to be released, last year’s bout saw 2.25 million eyes, with 1.2 million viewing illegally through Twitch. Boasting an all-pro undercard, the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch marks the net’s biggest foray into the boxing world to date – but only time will tell if the online generation’s interest in the sport will hold.

KSI weightloss video gets age restricted on TikTok after mistaking chest for breasts TikTok: KSISocial media star turned boxer KSI revealed that TikTok put an age restriction on his body transformation video for believing his chest were breasts. KSI stunned the world on August 4 when he revealed his incredible body transformation in a TikTok that went massively viral. The clip starts with a look at his shirtless body on January 1, 2022, then reveals him on August 1 with an impressive physique which he achieved over the eight-month span. After the clip gained over a million views in less than a day, TikTok placed an age restriction on the video for what KSI believes to be a mistake. KSI’s body transformation TikTok age restricted for chest size The 29-year-old shared the TikTok on Twitter and explained why he believes his TikTok was restricted. “TikTok age restricted my video because it thought my chest was actual t*ts. I’ll just post it here.” Despite the restriction, the video is still viewable on his TikTok page. As the social media star gears up for his big fight vs. Alex Wassabi, TikTok seems to have potentially mistaken his new body for nudity not allowed on the platform. The tweet went even more viral than the original TikTok, getting over 100,000 likes and 1.6 million views just after being posted. After spending two years out of the boxing ring, this transformational video shows that KSI has been taking his training seriously and is prepared for his August 27 bout, and TikTok mistaking his chest for breasts could be seen as a compliment to his new physique.

KSI welcomes IShowSpeed into 2023 Sidemen Charity Match after he completes challenge YouTube: IShowSpeedThe Sidemen Charity match 2023 is starting to roll out its squad for the All Stars team, with KSI and IShowSpeed seemingly confirming on Twitter that Speed will be back for this year’s match after a scene-stealing appearance last year. British YouTube group Sidemen have confirmed that they will be bringing back their annual charity football match for 2023. The group first launched its popular charity event back in 2016 and quickly turned it into an annual festivity in the following years. Following a few years off due to the global crisis at the time, The Sidemen Charity match returned in 2022 and is now confirmed to be back this year as well. The matches will feature the Sidemen themselves, who team up on Sidemen FC. Their opponents are made up of fellow YouTubers who play under the team name YouTube Allstars. While little is known about the 2023 event at the moment, the match was teased during a recent Sidemen video, before officially being confirmed via the Sidemen’s Twitter on May 29. Part of the fun of the Sidemen Charity match is finding out who the YouTube group will be facing off against. Their opponents typically consist of other content creators and streamers in a big All Stars team. While most of the team is yet to be confirmed, KSI has hinted that IShowSpeed will be returning for the 2023 iteration. IShowSpeed joins All Stars team for Sidemen Charity match 2023 During the 2022 Sidemen Charity match, Speed was a standout competitor, in large part due to his humorous antics and behavior on the field. Naturally, fans wanted to see him return. Not so quick to make it happen, however, KSI issued a challenge during a recent YouTube upload. He asked Speed to perform 20 kickups without letting the ball touch the ground. If he could do it, he’d be invited to the event. Now, the content creator has posted a video on Twitter doing just that, showing off his ball skills and captions the video “20 kickups do I play in the charity match now KSI?” KSI was quick to reply to the video, sharing it on his own Twitter feed and writing “Congrats bro. Welcome to the Sidemen Charity match.” Time will tell who else joins the All Star team to take on the Sidemen crew later in the year.

Conor McGregor lashes out at KSI ahead of Dillon Danis fight: “Little nerd” YouTube: TheMacLife, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI sent out a warning to ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor as his fight against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis looms on the horizon. KSI is one of YouTube’s most prominent influencer-boxers. After spending two years out of the ring following his viral bouts against Logan Paul, he finally made his comeback in 2022, taking on two fights in one night — both of which he won. Now, the British creator is set to kick off 2023 with a bang with a fight against MMA star Dillon Danis. The two have been exchanging verbal blows back and forth on social media for the last month, and things are only continuing to heat up as the date draws near. Most recently, fans in the space wondered if Danis’ friendship with combat sports GOAT Conor McGregor was in trouble — something ‘The Notorious One’ addressed in a recent Tweet. KSI hits out at Conor McGregor as Dillon Danis fight approaches The questions came about after host Ariel Helwani prodded Danis on the subject during a recent interview on the MMA Hour, where he also discussed his upcoming bout against KSI. According to McGregor, he and Danis are still on good terms. “I am not too sure,” McGregor said of the matter in response to a fan. “Maybe because of the rartem situation? I’m still rockin’ with Dillon. All the way!” KSI took notice of this exchange — particularly McGregor’s comments about still “rockin’” with Danis — and couldn’t help but send out a little barb toward the Irish fighter. “I’m sorry, but I’m about do some serious damage to your boy,” he said in a quote reply. It looks like McGregor didn’t take KSI’s comments sitting down. In a Tweet response, he notably called the influencer a “friendly little nerd.” “Brother, you’re a friendly little nerd I don’t care,” he wrote. “He should be back doing MMA if he is doing this little nothing burger match with you. I couldn’t care less about this genre of boxing, I am sorry. Have a good one.” KSI was quick to hit back with a biting reply: “When you see what I do to Danis January 14th, then you will care…” Logan Paul lashes out at Conor McGregor over KSI spat Now, it looks like Logan Paul has entered the fray, sending a shot toward McGregor’s comment about “genres” of boxing and making sure to reference his 2021 fight against Floyd Mayweather. “Boxing is boxing,” he wrote. “I’m a YouTuber and I still did more damage to Floyd than you.” Even Bryce Hall got in on the action, poking fun at Logan and McGregor by pointing out that, out of both of them, YouTuber Deji was the only one to give Mayweather a black eye in their match this year. This is far from the first time influencer-boxers have interacted with McGregor; most notably, American YouTuber Jake Paul has been publicly fiending for a fight with the mixed martial artist for some time, although McGregor doesn’t seem too interested in the idea. For now, KSI is focused on his upcoming bout with Danis… but there’s no telling if we’ll see ‘The Notorious’ step into the ring with an influencer in the coming months or not.

KSI warns Dillon Danis after brawl at Misfits weigh-in: “I’m the wrong guy to f**k with” DAZN / KSIBritish YouTuber, rapper and boxer KSI has hit out at Dillon Danis on social media after a brief scuffle at the Misfits Boxing x DAZN Series 003 weigh-in. Things took an unexpected turn at the Misfits Boxing x DAZN Series 003 weigh-in event on November 18, as UFC star Dillon Danis showed up and kicked off an outright brawl. Approaching KSI at the event, Danis asked that the YouTuber signs the contract for the two to touch gloves in the ring before he threatened to choke him out. In retaliation, JJ hit back claiming he could knock out Danis on the spot before an all-out brawl ensued as Dillon punched him in the jaw. With security from both sides going at it, the two were eventually separated from one another. Though, moments later outside the venue, Danis got caught up in another scuffle with MMA fighter Anthony Taylor — who later revealed he was banned from returning to the event. KSI issues warning to Dillon Danis Following the event, KSI took to Twitter, where he slammed Danis for the sly jab. “You a whole b*tch @dillondanis,” he said. In a follow-up tweet, he added: “I’m the wrong guy to f**k with @dillondanis.” With KSI expected to announce his next boxing opponent soon, fans have theorized that the scrap may have been staged to hype up and promote a future bout. But, we guess we’ll just have to wait and see what comes of it.

KSI wants to fight current UFC champ, and he’s open to it YouTube: KSIYouTube phenom KSI has revealed that he’d be open to sparring with a current UFC champion, but he has no plans to get involved with the MMA side of things. In the back half of 2022, KSI finally made his long-awaited return to the boxing ring after a few years away, fighting Swarmz and Luis Pineda on the same night. The YouTube star has remained active in boxing, defeating FaZe Temperr on January 14, as he eyes a potential super fight with Jake Paul later in the year. Jake has thrown a spanner in the works on that front, though, as he’s lining up a Mixed Martial Arts debut in the summer with PFL. Unlike his longtime rival, KSI has no plans to get involved with MMA, but he is open to touching gloves with a current UFC champion – and it could actually be on the cards seeing as they’re not too far away from each other. KSI wants to spar UFC champion Leon Edwards KSI appeared on BBC Radio 1 on February 3 and was quickly roped into a game where you have to call someone in your contacts and find out if they’re standing or sitting. Well, current UFC Welterweight champion Leon Edwards got the call and KSI was asked if he’d be open to fighting him. “Would I fight Leon Edwards?!” KSI answered, seemingly dismayed as he took a few seconds to come up with an answer. “Definitely not in MMA, definitely not in MMA! I mean, we could spar in boxing,” he added, as the UFC star also seemed open to the idea as well. Timestamp of 3:10 Edwards is one of the more proficient strikers in the UFC – he’s not just skilled in submissions or wrestling – so he’d certainly present a tough challenge for KSI, even in a light sparring session. The pair are both based in the UK and it wouldn’t be tough to set it up, especially after the UFC star fights in March, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

KSI wants to take on Conor McGregor after Jake Paul fight YouTube: ESPN MMA, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI says he’s interested in taking on Conor McGregor after his viral bout with Jake Paul comes to pass — and he’s confident that he can make the match happen. KSI is currently slated to face off against FaZe Temperrr on January 14, marking his third bout since coming back to boxing in 2022. Although it’s unclear how many fights KSI might take in 2023, fans are itching for him to finally face off with longtime rival Jake Paul at some point this year. The two have been feuding ever since KSI vs Logan Paul back in 2018, and appeared to agree to a 2023 bout last year. However, both parties have yet to sign a contract — and based on their latest explosive conversation, it doesn’t look like things are taking off anytime soon. KSI open to fight Conor McGregor after Jake Paul bout That being said, KSI still has plans for the fight to happen… and he even has ideas of what could take place after that viral bout comes to fruition. In an interview on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, KSI brought up his viral Twitter feud with UFC legend Conor McGregor, who notably called the YouTuber a “little nerd.” “I was thinking like, after I flatline Jake, how cool would it be to have a go at the king, innit?” he laughed. “Is it possible?” Helwani asked. “With me, I believe in myself so much, I feel like I can take on anyone within reason,” KSI answered. “You never know.” (Topic begins at 39:50) KSI went on to say that he was actually “gassed” about McGregor acknowledging him on social media and wasn’t bothered by his “little nerd” comment. This isn’t the first time KSI has spoken out about a possible fight with The Notorious One, either; in fact, the YouTuber claimed he wanted a “super fight” against McGregor in 2022, similarly saying he’d want the bout to happen after he takes on Jake Paul. For now, Paul vs KSI is still up in the air as the two fighters continue to trade verbal spars over social media.

KSI wants to bet $1 million on himself to beat Tommy Fury in boxing match DAZNYouTube star KSI has claimed he’s willing to bet $1 million on himself to beat Tommy Fury ahead of their upcoming October 14 clash. After Tommy Fury’s triumph over Jake Paul earlier this year, handing the influencer his first boxing loss, the highly anticipated clash between KSI and Fury is just around the corner. With them set to finally go blow for blow on October 14, the British YouTube star is aiming to do what his rival Jake Paul couldn’t, and knockout Fury to prove once and for all he’s the best fighter in the scene. Ahead of fight night, expected to be the biggest influencer boxing event we’ve seen to date, both KSI and Tommy joined Adin Ross for a face-to-face during his September 16 Kick stream. KSI says he’ll bet $1 million to beat Tommy Fury Before Fury joined the call, Adin asked KSI how confident he was, and the YouTuber hit back claiming he’s willing to put his money where his mouth is and bet $1 million for him to win the fight. “If you’re confident in yourself, very confident, I’ll put up some money you know? Then I’ll get you a watch or something like that,” said the streamer. “So nah like I’m trying to put a million down on myself,” KSI revealed. However, the YouTube star claimed that the logistics of placing a bet that large is proving to be difficult. “First of all, a lot of the things, trying to put in that amount, just won’t let me,” he said. “They’re like 5k maximum.” Adin questioned if it was even legal for KSI to bet on himself. The YouTuber claimed it was fully legal, although he noted he can’t bet on a specific round for the fight. “I can bet on myself,” KSI answered. “I just can’t bet on the round. So, yeah I think I’m going to have to try and find a way to do it through people or I don’t know.” He added: “But then it’s just dodgy so I’m like I don’t know if I want to just do it or if I just leave it. I’m going to just put on whatever I can. KSI isn’t the only one willing to put money on the line, with Logan Paul also offering to place a $1 million bet with Conor McGregor for him to beat Dillon Danis on the co-main event of the Prime Card. Not only that, the stakes are even higher for Paul, with him agreeing to let Dillon Danis be the best man at his wedding if he loses.

KSI wants to box Jake Paul after Ben Askren fight: “I’m knocking him out” YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Jake PaulKSI has finally given his verdict on Jake Paul’s first-round victory over Ben Askren — and it’s safe to say that he’s hungry to give the “Problem Child” his first defeat. Jake Paul has managed to create quite a successful boxing career for himself. First overtaking fellow YouTuber Deji Olatunji in 2018, Jake went on to go pro, and has since taken out influencer AnEsonGib, former NBA pro Nate Robinson, and most recently, retired mixed martial artist Ben Askren. Paul’s victory over Askren was monumental; upon knocking down Askren in the very first round with a clean shot to the face, the referee called for a stoppage, ultimately naming Paul the victor (and granting him a fairly impressive payday, to boot). As for who Jake will take on next, it’s still not certain — but the Team 10 founder has made it clear that he’s “done” entertaining a fight with KSI after initially challenging him in wake of his rematch with Logan Paul in 2019. Ringside view of Jake Paul’s KO of Ben Askren 🥊pic.twitter.com/YVLsixpEqI — Dexerto (@Dexerto) April 18, 2021 Things have been quiet on the Jake Paul vs KSI front for some time now, with Paul even accusing KSI of “ducking” him… but KSI is adamant that this could not be further from the truth. In an April 22 video, KSI clarified that he does want to box Jake, claiming that he got riled up after seeing him defeat Askren so easily. “I’m going to fight Jake,” KSI said. “I want to fight Jake. Don’t get it twisted. When I saw he knocked out Ben Askren, I got angry. There’s a part inside of me that feels like I need to f**k him up to show how much of a fraud he is. …best believe when we get in that ring, I’m knocking him out.” As for when their fight will happen, no official date has been slated, but KSI stated that he only wants to focus on the match when he’s finished “smashing the music scene.” “I’ve got a good momentum going with the music, so I don’t really wanna stop all of that just to fight this ****,” he explained. “I wanna wait ’til I’ve got the album out, the deluxe, got the tour out of the way, shows, festivals… before I can get in camp and fight him.” Jake Paul has yet to reply to KSI’s latest callout, but there’s no telling if he’ll even be interested, considering his most recent opinion on the matter. For now, it looks like fans will have to wait and see how their beef pans out as his rival’s music career continues to soar upward.

KSI wants match with WWE World Champion after WrestleMania debut WWEYouTube star KSI has eyed up a match with WWE world champion Bobby Lashley after his debut at WrestleMania 39. KSI is no stranger to new ventures. Over the past couple of years, he’s delved deep into the music world and has even taken the hydration beverage market by storm with Prime. The British YouTuber is also one of the pioneers of influencer boxing, which has become bigger than anyone could’ve anticipated. However, boxing may not be the only combat sport we see him enter. After his WWE debut at WrestleMania 39 — alongside former rival and business partner Logan Paul — KSI is eyeing up a match with a world champion. KSI wants WWE match with Bobby Lashley After he was sent crashing through a table by Logan Paul with a frog splash from the top rope in his WWE debut, KSI was asked if he could see himself in a match, and who he’d choose to face if so. “I mean, you never know, you never know,” KSI replied. After some thought, he finally blurted out a name he’d like to encounter. “Oh my gosh, I don’t even know who I’d want to — Bobby Lashley,” he said. “Bobby Lashley, put me in with the beast why not?” The YouTuber was quick to note how the WWE world champion is three times his size but is still up for the challenge. Despite being a childhood fan of wrestling, KSI recently shut down fans’ hopes of seeing him in the WWE, claiming he has “no business” with them. However, after his debut, fans would certainly love to see him face off against Bobby Lashley.

KSI wants “super fight” vs Conor McGregor after Jake Paul boxing match YouTube: DAZN/Instagram: Conor McGregorYouTube star KSI wants to have a “super fight” with Conor McGregor after fighting Jake Paul, and is confident about his chances against his longtime rival. While influencer boxing events have started moving towards content creators vs actual athletes and fighters, one big clash remains: KSI vs Jake Paul. The longtime rivals have been talking about fighting each other for years, ever since the first KSI vs Logan Paul fight back in 2018. While it hasn’t happened to this point, the pair have agreed to make it happen in 2023, potentially fighting at a packed-out Wembley Stadium. Even though he’s got two fights before that – taking on Swarmz and Lucas Alcaraz Pineda in the same night – KSI is looking slightly beyond his fight with Jake, as he believes he could square off against Conor McGregor. KSI could fight Conor McGregor after Jake Paul Speaking ahead of his August 27 fight night, the British YouTuber told TalkSport that he wants to fight the MMA superstar in what he believes would be a “super fight” for fans. “My main goal when it comes to boxing is Jake Paul, to finish Jake Paul,” he said. “After I’ve finished Jake Paul, I think it’s just… I’ll decide what I want to do then. I might retire and hang up the gloves or I might decide that I want to do a super fight with someone like Conor McGregor. “It’s one of them things where it all depends on who else is there fighting, just whatever makes sense. Right now, my goal is Jake Paul and Jake Paul only.” As the YouTuber notes, he’s taking fights before then that will help him get into position to fight Jake, and that starts with a double duty night against Swarmz and Pineda. Those two fights, on August 27, will only be three-round contests, so he might need a further tune-up, given any fight against Jake – or even McGregor – would be significantly longer.

KSI walks back claim he could beat Thor Bjornsson in boxing match YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Instgram: thorbjornssonYouTube star KSI is walking back his claims that he could beat Icelandic strongman Hafthor Bjornsson in a boxing match following Bjornsson’s recent win over Eddie Hall. KSI is quickly backpedaling after making some lofty claims about a potential bout with one of the world’s strongest men. The YouTuber is no stranger to the world of combat sports; he, alongside former rival Logan Paul, kickstarted the current influencer boxing craze thanks to their two viral boxing matches in 2018 – 2019. KSI emerged victorious, and recently announced his comeback to the sport with an as-yet unnamed opponent — but some fans think he shot too high after claiming he could easily best Thor Bjornsson in the boxing ring. KSI notably claimed that Bjornsson was “slow,” saying he could get in good hits while the 323 lb strongman was charging up his punches. Thor was of a differing opinion. “Interesting,” he said of KSI’s words on Instagram. “I wonder if he truly thinks he could beat me or if he’s just fooling around. What do you guys think?” View this post on Instagram KSI refutes claim he could beat Thor Bjornsson It seems that KSI has now changed his mind on the subject, as he quickly retracted his statement in a YouTube video posted several days later. “I already said on the Sidecast that I take it back,” he explained, referring to his podcast with YouTube group ‘The Sidemen.’ “No one shows that bit. No one shows the part of me actually understanding the idea of fighting Thor and realizing that he’s just too big for me.” “He just weighs too much,” he continued. “I will never be able to be that titan weight. Me being 100 kg? (220 lbs) Ridiculous. I’d feel like s**t. So — he’s 150? 160 kilograms? (352 lbs) Nah, bro.” “I wouldn’t do much. I guess I’d be faster than him. And yes, maybe I’d be able to hit more. But all he needs to do is hit me once or just lean on me and it’s a long day for me. I have nothing to do with Thor. I do not want anything to do with it.” (Topic begins at 9:30) Well, there we have it; KSI is officially not interested in touching gloves with someone over twice his size. That being said, his next opponent is still unannounced, leaving fans more anxious than ever to see who he’ll go up against next (but it won’t be Thor).

KSI wants Ben Askren to “do the world a favor” and knock out Jake Paul Instagram: @ksi / @jakepaulKSI weighed in on the upcoming boxing match between Ben Askren and Jake Paul, and although he’s a little concerned about Ben’s punches, he wants him to “do the world a favor” and knock out Jake. Olajide Olatunji, better known as KSI, has dabbled in the world of boxing once before. He famously beat Logan Paul in a split decision during their professional debut in November 2019. Neither of them have fought since. However, Logan is set to square off against Floyd Mayweather sometime this year, which is set to be a controversial fight given the disparity between their experience and skill. Jake Paul, Logan’s younger brother, has been far more active. He beat YouTuber AnEsonGib and NBA star Nate Robinson by TKOs. But now, for his next endeavor, he’s going to step into the ring against Ben Askren. KSI doesn’t have much faith in the younger Paul brother though. In fact, he hopes Ben Askren can teach him a lesson. “Did you see the way Jake slapped Ben’s ass or punched him?” he said. “I think for Jake’s sake, let’s say he slapped his ass. Because if that was a punch, oh deary god. Ben didn’t flinch. He just walked off.” “I hope Ben f**ks him up. But I ain’t gonna lie, Jake does look big compared to Ben. He looks quite big. And from the boxing skills that I’ve seen from Ben… it doesn’t look great. My man’s not really using his body with the punches. It’s no hip. It’s all just arms.” Still, he believes it won’t be an issue as long as Ben “smothers him” and “can take his punches.” If that happens, he thinks exhaustion will get the better of Jake, and Ben will steamroll him. He wrapped things up by re-asserting that Ben Askren’s boxing skills “don’t look great from the footage we have seen.” However, he’s still rooting for him and begged him to “please do the world a favor and knock out Jake Paul.” The relevant part of the video happens between 5:30 and 7:10. Ben Askren vs Jake Paul is happening on April 17, which isn’t too far away. The eight-round professional boxing match is set to be a thriller, with lots of pride and ego on the line.

KSI vs Tommy Fury result changed as judge submits ‘incorrect’ scorecard Instagram: KSI / Instagram: TommyFuryThe controversial result of the KSI vs Tommy Fury fight has already been updated less than 24 hours removed from the boxing contest as one judge reportedly miscalculated their score. After months of build-up, push finally came to shove on October 14 when KSI stepped into the ring against the undefeated Tommy Fury. Going all six rounds, the YouTube superstar held his own against boxing royalty, with many believing he did enough to win on the scorecards, especially given earlier fouls saw Fury have a point deducted. As the scores were announced in front of a roaring 21,000 fans in Manchester, however, Fury was declared the winner by majority decision. One judge had it as a draw while two others scored it in favor of Fury. Immediately claiming he would appeal the decision, KSI was visibly furious in the ring, arguing it was a blatant “robbery.” Now, the scores have indeed been updated, though not quite how the social media celeb had imagined. Fury’s win over KSI has now been updated from a majority decision to a unanimous decision victory. One judge reportedly submitted an ‘incorrect’ scorecard as they miscalculated the rounds. Having now adjusted their decision accordingly and added the six rounds up correctly, the outlying judge is now in line with the rest of the panel in scoring the fight 57-56 for Fury. As a result, it’s now even more of a definitive victory for the still-undefeated boxing prodigy, who holds official wins over both Jake Paul and KSI. “In the ring and watching it back, I feel like I should have won,” KSI followed up on his own social media accounts, doubling down on his stance. “Either way, I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to in the end.” For now, we’re yet to see an official appeal lodged by KSI’s camp in an effort to have the judge’s scorecards reassessed. Even with an appeal, however, there’s obviously no guarantee the decision is overturned. So as it stands, Fury now boasts this unanimous decision victory over another influencer, while KSI’s future in the sport remains dubious.

KSI vs Tommy Fury’s Prime Card makes PPV history with record-tying sales DAZNThe KSI vs. Tommy Fury showdown alongside the Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis grudge match, collectively known as The Prime Card, has reportedly matched a PPV buy record despite the controversies surrounding the event. The Prime Card showcased not just the much-anticipated bout between KSI and Tommy Fury but also featured Logan Paul taking on MMA star Dillon Danis in the co-headline bout. Despite criticisms from some viewers about the quality of the boxing on display, with some describing the main and co-main events as less than stellar, the numbers don’t lie. It turns out that the Prime Card was a massive success, at least from a business perspective. According to reports, the Misfits PPV sold approximately 1,300,000 buys, a figure that matches the previous influencer boxing PPV record from 2018’s clash between KSI and Logan Paul. But this time, the figure is even more impressive when considering that the DAZN PPV was priced at $54.99 in the US and £19.99 in the UK. The revenue from the PPV sales alone, not including ticket sales, advertising deals, and merchandise, is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $32,000,000. That’s no small sum for a boxing event that proved to be controversial in more ways than one. Not only did Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis finish with security guards storming the ring after Danis failed to take down and guillotine choke his rival, but the main event had many fans claiming it was “rigged.” KSI impressed and seemingly had done enough to win three rounds against Tommy Fury, but the scorecards were all in favor of Fury even after losing a point due to illegal blows to the back of the head. Even after the result was updated following the fight, Fury was still declared the winner by unanimous decision. KSI’s now looking to appeal the result that he labels as “outrageous.” As for what’s next for all the fighters involved, Conor McGregor has called for an “exciting” clash with KSI. Dillon Danis has been offered a $100,000 job from an OnlyFans rival. And Logan Paul has his eyes set on Rey Mysterio’s WWE United States Championship. There are seemingly endless opportunities for the fighters who were involved in the event, showing that as long as influencer boxing continues to draw in massive audiences and generate significant revenue, we can expect to see more of it going forward.

KSI vs Logan Paul 2: UK press conference back on, date confirmed KSIOlajidebt, Logan Paul Vlogs – YouTubeYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul will finally settle their long-standing beef in the net’s most anticipated boxing rematch on November 9 – but it seemed their fight would only have a single press conference, following their meeting in Los Angeles. The two YouTubers met for the first time in over a year at the LA Staples Center on September 14, exchanging insults, banter, and predicting knockout wins ahead of their rematch. While the conference itself provided a slew of notable moments, it appeared that a UK press conference wouldn’t occur, unlike last year – a development that KSI attributed to Logan Paul not “wanting the smoke.” Looks like there won’t be a U.K. press conference. It’s a shame and quite frankly unfair but whatever. Certain man don’t want the smoke lmao :shrug::skin-tone-6:♂️ — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) September 23, 2019 However, Paul vehemently denied this allegation, claiming that he’d been trying to schedule a UK presser for “the past month” and assuring his opponent that he did, indeed, want the smoke in a subsequent Twitter video. regarding the UK/London press conference :uk: fight tickets :boxing_glove:https://t.co/WMZ1NLEnay pic.twitter.com/LIcSoBoxXf — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) September 23, 2019 With their rematch less than two months away, it seemed that a press conference on UK soil was officially out of the books: but Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn gave fans an update that turned this previous ruling on its head. Hearn posted a Tweet on October 1 officially confirming a UK presser, announcing that both KSI and Logan Paul will meet once again in London on Monday, October 7 – although a specific time for the conference has yet to be revealed.

With Paul dubbing their conference “disappointing,” both fans and the fighters, themselves are looking forward to a more intense showdown this go ‘round – with KSI even claiming that Logan Paul will get “obliterated” at their next meeting. The KSI vs Logan Paul rematch is scheduled for November 9 at the Los Angeles Staples Center, with broadcasting available via DAZN.

However, the preliminary card will be streamed for free on YouTube around the globe. More on that below. Both contestants will be taking drug tests beforehand after Dillon raised accusations of his opponent being a “juice head”. KSI vs Tommy Fury & Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis: Rest of the card Fight Night is well underway, with the undercard fights getting worked through leading up to the night’s most anticipated bouts. Obviously, KSI vs Tommy Fury is expected to close the show, with Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis serving as the co-headliner just before. Not only that, but the undercard fights and prelim bouts are just as exciting. Starting with the prelims, reality TV star Chase DeMoor was taken down by Tempo Arts after being suspended for two years and fined $100k earlier this year for continuously punching a downed opponent on the Series 006 card. The prelims also saw S-X take down fellow rapper DTG, while Swarmz stepped into the ring against TikTok star Ed Matthews, who notably faced off with rapper BlueFace back in April. Swarmz got swiftly K.O.ed in the matchup. Meanwhile, fans finally saw Astrid Wett throw down with Alexia Grace for the Flyweight title, a fight that was long anticipated after Alexia hospitalized Astrid by slamming her through a table before their scheduled boxing match in July. Astrid got her revenge with a decisive victory via unanimous decision. Moving onto the main card, Misfits hosted its third tag-team match, where Luis Pineda and Bdave stepped into the ring with Nichlmao and Alex Wassabi for an incredibly impressive draw. Following that, we saw Brazillian YouTube star Whindersson Nunes go toe-to-toe with MyMateNate after their Kingpyn Boxing debuts. Nate won by unanimous decision. If the Prime Card wasn’t stacked enough already, King Kenny and Anthony Taylor will be battling it out for the Misfits light heavyweight championship. Not only that, but arguably one of the most anticipated fights in influencer boxing will be going ahead, as Salt Papi and Slim Albaher finally touched gloves. Slim came out the clear victor, pummeling Salt Papi into submission and forcing the match to be called by the ref. Before we got to finally see Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis and KSI vs. Tommy Fury, the most anticipated rematch got underway, as Deen The Great and Walid Sharks put their gloves back on. The two influencers first went blow-for-blow on Series 003, before the mastermind behind Misfits Mams Taylor forced them to put their differences aside and team up for a tag-team match on Series 008. For the first big matchup of the night, it went 6 rounds and ultimately ended in chaos as Dillion Danis tried to grab Logan Paul. The match was ultimately called with Danis getting DQed, crowning Logan Paul the winner of the bout. The only fight that remained was KSI vs. Tommy Fury. It was KSI’s long-awaited return to the ring, leaving many wondering if he could truly take down Tommy Fury. Though there was criticism sent toward both fighters for clenching in the ring, Tommy Fury took home the win with a majority decision, before it was soon corrected to a unanimous decision. Though he may have lost, KSI was very, very close to winning, and has since appealed the “outrageous” decision. Similarly, Dillon Danis has also sent an appeal for his disqualification to the PBA, the governing body that sanctioned the Prime Card bouts. It’s fair to say Logan Paul isn’t impressed with the move, slamming Danis as “embarrassing” and “desperate” We’ll be sure to keep you updated here with any new fight announcements as the Prime Card draws near.

KSI vs Logan Paul boxing rematch details revealed: Venue, date, and more Logan Paul, InstagramThe long-anticipated rematch between YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI has finally come to fruition after months of radio silence, with sources finally revealing an official date and venue for their final bout. It was all the way back in August 2018 that Logan and KSI first stepped into the ring, and despite an enthralling fight, neither YouTuber was able to edge out their opponent. The draw meant that a rematch was inevetable, originally slated for February 2019, but has been pushed back, although we may finally now have a date. When and where is Logan Paul vs KSI rematch? According to an alleged industry official, boxing promoter “Matchroom Boxing” will hold the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch on November 9, 2019. The venue for the fight will reportedly be the Staples Center in Los Angeles. That’s not all: the official likewise expects the rematch to sell out completely, following the massive success of the YouTubers’ first pay-per-view fight. Industry official tells @TheAthleticBOX that @MatchroomBoxing intends to bring the @LoganPaul @KSIOlajidebt rematch to @STAPLESCenter November 9 with a sellout of the @YouTube event expected. — Lance Pugmire (@pugboxing) August 14, 2019 What have KSI and Logan said about a rematch? These details were foreshadowed by both KSI and Logan Paul in separate videos, with KSI hinting that things were moving forward with their bout in a “One Question” discussion with fans on August 9. Read More: Spratt reveals why he’s leaving OpTic Gaming – “Trust me, the fight is getting close to being done,” KSI said of the matter. “I’ll say that. It’s a lot of back and forth, man. Trust me, I’m tired of it as well. But I’m training either way, so…” Paul likewise spoke on the subject during an episode of his imPaulsive podcast, jokingly claiming that the “near future is looking bright” while looking pointedly at the camera. These latest details follow months of frustrating silence from both parties, with KSI accusing Logan Paul of dodging their rematch and even offering a later date for the bout, while Paul argued that it is difficult to organize an unofficial boxing match stateside. Shut the fuck up. You guys don’t know how to even create a boxing event. You’ve been talking to a few organisers to set this whole thing up since you can’t do it and nothing has happened still. YOURE USELESS. WE GET SHIT DONE IN THE UK https://t.co/VKZhOssgim — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 This news follows a serious injury to Logan Paul’s hamstring, which saw him collapse during his star-studded “Challenger Games” track and field event in late July. Logan’s younger brother, Jake Paul, likewise suffered a sprained ankle ahead of the Games, marking a possible handicap for both Paul brothers ahead of the year’s most buzzed-about livestreamed event. 600While both KSI and Logan Paul have yet to make a statement following this news, both parties have resumed boxing training, uploading video footage of their regimens to Instagram in preparation for their November rematch. View this post on InstagramHappy birthday to one of my best friends. You’re the real MVP my g and trust me, you’ve helped me more in life than you’ll ever know. I appreciate everything you’ve done and doing for me and I’m so excited for your future. Boxing, youtube, music, just like me, you don’t let anyone put you in a box and I fuck with it. THE REALEST GUY I KNOW haha. Happy birthday @isitril Ticket sales and other information have yet to be released regarding the fight, but we will keep you updated with the latest news as the rematch draws nearer.

KSI vs Logan Paul Rematch Set For February 2019 You may think that after KSI and Logan Paul have knocked each other around the ring on August 25, that will be the end of their beef – but the reality is, this is really only the beginning. When KSI called out the American, following his comfortable win over Joe Weller, the deal that was agreed between both parties was in fact a two fight deal. The first, of course, will take place at the Manchester Arena in the UK on August 25. But another fight, the rematch, will be held in the United States, reportedly in February of 2019. KSI, as the British hopeful, will retain 100% of the ticket revenue for the Manchester bout, according to reports, and then Logan will get his share when the US fight rolls around. However, according to the contract, both KSI and Logan Paul have the option to opt out of the rematch, with 90 days of the August 25 bout. If KSI was to opt out of the rematch, he would forfeit 50% of his net profits from ticket sales, handing them over to Logan Paul. If Logan Paul opts out, then KSI will retain his 100% cut of the ticket sales revenue. All of this makes for an even more interesting fight on August 25. 600So, if KSI was to get humiliated by Logan in the UK fight, he would have to choose to possibly endure another humiliation in the US, or forfeit half of the money – neither of which being good options. Equally, if Logan Paul was to find himself on the end of a beating, he too would have to risk going through it again in front of a home crowd in the US, or choose to simply make nothing from the whole event. Either way, it makes for a win-win for fans, who will most likely get to see two fights, and if their hopeful doesn’t win the first, they can do it all again in 2019.

KSI vs Logan Paul rematch date possibly leaked Popular YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul threw down in a boxing match in late August of 2018. With the bout ending in a draw, the two were set for a rematch – the date of which may have already been leaked. Bet365, a gambling website based in the United Kingdom, has reportedly received the date ahead of time, and is already taking bets for the fight with a scheduled date of Wednesday, February 27, 2019. While neither Logan Paul nor KSI have spoken out as to the legitimacy of the site’s scheduling, Paul claimed that KSI had broken the terms of their contract during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast in late November for refusing to schedule a date for the rematch. https://www.bet365.com/#/AC/B9/C20007979/D1/E20117372/F2/ Their contract was allegedly leaked in early September following their initial fight, with a documented date for the second fight set for “the end of February 2019.” While KSI’s trainer projected a later date following the leak, speculating a date in April or May, the original terms of the deal may have won out, in the end. https://www.capitalfm.com/news/celebrity/ksi-logan-paul-fight-rematch-date-venue-tickets/ Although no other names have been listed on the upcoming card, event organizers Upload Agency have taken open calls for the rematch, asking for YouTubers “interested in fighting” at one of their events set for 2019. While Logan is set to face off against KSI once more, his little brother Jake Paul continues to search for a worthy adversary, calling out MMA fighter Dillon Danis and FaZe content creator Ricky Banks as potential opponents.

KSI vs Logan Paul rematch details revealed: Pro fight with Billy Joe Saunders on undercard KSI – YouTubeBritish professional boxer, Billy Joe Saunders, is set to defend his world super middleweight title on November 9 on the undercard of the rematch between KSI and Logan Paul. The bout between Logan Paul and KSI (back in August 2018) was dubbed the “biggest internet event in history”, with over 2.2 million concurrent viewers tuning into the white-collar event which generated an estimated revenue of $11 million. With the original bout ending in a controversial draw, the rematch between the pair is primed and ready to take place in The Staples Center in Los Angeles, with ticket information and event details set to follow. KSI retained the YouTube championship belt following a tied scorecard. Prominent boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, has decided to take-on the rematch after the pair have decided to turn professional, per reports from The Independent. In a press conference on August 31, it was announced that Billy Joe Saunders will debut under new promoter Eddie Hearn on the undercard for the second contest between the two internet titans. The undefeated super middleweight champion of the world will look to add another notch to his unbowed (28-13-0) record, as he defends the belt which he acquired in May, 2019. Billy Joe Saunders won the vacant WBO super middleweight title. Having never locked horns with another fighter in America, the fight will only be a second-time venture across the pond for Saunders (having previously fought in Quebec, Canada), and will, therefore, provide a platform for the British fighter to gain exposure under Hearn. Details surrounding the rest of the undercard are yet to be confirmed, although social media star Yousef ‘Fouseytube’ Erakat has challenged KSI’s younger brother, Deji Olatunji, alongside Team 10 leader, Jake Paul — claiming that him and his training camp “want all of the smoke”. More details surrounding the undercard are set to be released, as a potential press conference is set to take place on September 3. Nonetheless, the event will likely be a spectacle for the history books, and with the addition of long-time professional boxers on the undercard, previous viewership records are set to be surpassed.

KSI vs Logan Paul Press Conference Cut Short After the Paul Brothers Storm off Stage The UK press conference ahead of the KSI vs Logan Paul boxing match came to an abrupt end after both Paul brothers left the stage without warning. In similar fashion to the first press conference held in Los Angeles, things didn’t exactly go to plan and the event was cut short. Although thankfully it didn’t come to blows this time around. Hosted by YouTuber True Geordie, the UK conference was meant to be KSI and his brother Deji’s chance to have the crowd on their side, after a one-sided audience in Los Angeles almost booed them off. But the crowd were forced to wait considerable time before they could cheer for anyone at all, and even started throwing objects on stage, which prompted True Geordie to threaten to close the event if it continued. Eventually, at the second time of announcing, the fighters appeared on stage, with KSI taking to the mic first, and was ruthless in his insults towards Logan. First claiming that Logan had been cut from his part in ‘Baywatch’, then even calling out his family and in particular his dad, Greg Paul, whom KSI called a “creep”. Perhaps the final straw for Logan was KSI mentioning Chloe Bennett, long time girlfriend of Logan and whose relationship had only been made public days before. Logan stood, said he was only there to answer questions and since that wasn’t happening, he would see them on August 25th (the day of the fight). .@LoganPaul just walked out of the press conference with @KSIOlajidebt pic.twitter.com/kieUQb4XJk — Capital (@CapitalOfficial) July 18, 2018 The event pretty much ended there, without any questions or real ‘press’ activities having taken place. Outside the venue and after the walkout from his sons, Greg Paul, joined by Shannon Briggs, looked shaken and refused to answer questions from the media. Logan’s dad after the walkout… pic.twitter.com/RJRiUa39BU — Capital (@CapitalOfficial) July 18, 2018 Judging by the success of both press conferences, it is unlikely a third one will be planned, so the next time we see the fighters face to face will be the in the ring on August 25th. KSI had only two short words to say after Logan stormed out of the conference. The full conference will be uploaded to the YouTubers respective channels, as it was not live streamed like the previous one in Los Angeles.

KSI vs Logan Paul rematch: Press conference date potentially set YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are slated to throw down in the boxing ring once again on November 9 – but further details regarding their rematch have been scarce, and fans are antsy for more information. As it so happens, an official announcement for the fight might not be far away, thanks to audio from Maverick member Evan “Dwarf Mamba” Eckenrode’s Instagram story. While the story has since expired, celebrity news outlet “TheBreadBatch” managed to record the post’s audio, which contains a conversation between unknown parties discussing a “press conference” scheduled for “September 3.” View this post on Instagram *SPECULATION* **AUDIO ON** Audio from @dwarfmamba stories talking about a press conference in LA and an announcement September 3rd.

Considering the massive success of their 2018 pay-per-view bout, it’s safe to say that the YouTubers’ next fight could be an equally successful venture, with tensions higher than ever as they prepare for what might be their final match. Details concerning the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch were scarce, until a date and venue leaked in early August – and now, fans might have a press conference coming up soon.https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/1165770889389981696?s=20 An undercard for the bout likewise has yet to be confirmed, with YouTuber Jake Paul firmly denying a rematch with Deji and hoping to fight a content creator with “clout” – a challenge that social media star “Fouseytube” called out in a video, claiming that he wants “all the smoke” with the Team 10 leader. While Paul has yet to officially accept or deny Fousey’s request, Fousey likewise asked KSI to let him fight Deji on the undercard, calling the youngest Olatunji brother the “biggest bitch on YouTube.” Considering the lack of information available for the rematch, fans are left in the dark until the rumored press conference goes live in about a week’s time.

KSI vs Logan Paul Official Fighter Weights Plus VoD of Weigh-In The biggest amateur white collar boxing fight in history is one step closer after each fighter took the scale. KSI vs Logan Paul has been months in the making, and on Saturday, August 25, the two will walk out in front of tens of thousands at Manchester Arena, with millions watching at home. The YouTube pay-per-view event will feature five undercard fights, including Deji vs Jake Paul, with the main card featuring KSI and Logan Paul. After the four undercard fighters left the stage, the tension increased in the room as Deji and Jake did separate weigh ins due to the altercation that happened the day before. Jake Paul came out and weighed in at 82.5KG, and while speaking to world-famous boxing announcer, Michael Buffer, he claimed he’s aiming for a first-round knockout. Jake left the stage, but some kind of altercation happened as they walked away, delaying his opponent to the stage. Deji eventually made it up, and wearing a cap and face mask, he weighed in at 79.1kg. During his interview, Deji claimed Jake was scared and that’s why they had to do the weigh ins at separate times. After a short wait, the main event appeared, with Logan Paul stepping up on stage in full Maverick merch and weighing in at 84.9kg. As expected, KSI made everyone wait for his entrance, but he didn’t disappoint as he played yet more mind games, wearing a mask of Logan’s girlfriend, Chloe Bennett. He weighed in at 84.9kg. The small weight difference between the two has surprised many, with Logan previously expected to be the far heavier fighter. Logan Paul (86kg) vs KSI (84.9kg) Jake Paul (82.5kg) vs Deji (79.1kg) JMX (93kg) vs Coach Richard (84.9kg) FaZe Sensei (87kg) vs Overtflow (84kg) Rackaracka (69kg) vs Scarce (79kg) AnEsonGib (79kg) vs Jake Swingler (78kg)

KSI vs Logan Paul organizers are recruiting YouTubers for rematch Organizers of the upcoming KSI vs Logan Paul rematch are hosting an open call for any YouTubers interested in boxing for the event – and a few creators have already thrown their name into the runnings. Upload Agency founder Stuart Jones Tweeted out the announcement on November 7, asking for any YouTubers down to knock heads in the organization’s events for 2019. “What YouTubers are still interested in boxing?” Jones posted. “Drop me a line if you are interested in fighting at one of our 2019 events, whether you’ve already got someone in mind or not. Planning starts soon. 🥊” What YouTuber’s are still interested in boxing? Drop me a line if you are interested in fighting at one of our 2019 events, whether you’ve already got someone in mind or not. Planning starts soon. :boxing_glove: — Stuart Jones (@StuartJones7) November 7, 2018 One of these events could very well be the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch, as Jones’s Upload Agency, a talent management firm based out of the UK, was responsible for managing the original bout in late August of 2018. A few YouTubers have already expressed an interest in the event, including the likes of Australian YouTubers MrMuselk and Lachlan. However, no other major names have come forward to publically challenge an opponent – although plenty of users have tagged them in the Tweet’s replies. With the rematch set to take place in summer of 2019, it makes sense that organizers are gearing up for the event, and even Jake Paul appears to be fiending for another bout in the ring. The YouTuber recently called out singer-songwriter Chris Brown, as well as American mixed martial artist Dillon Danis in hopes of a potential fight.

KSI vs Logan Paul 2: What happened to the UK Press Conference? Logan Paul Vlogs, KSI – YouTubeYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul met for the first time in over a year at their Sept 14 rematch press conference in front of the Los Angeles Staples Center – but it looks like a second press conference may not be taking place, at all. Following their September 14 meeting, KSI hinted at the possibility of a second conference in the United Kingdom, in keeping with the format from their previous fight in 2018. In fact, he predicted that his opponent would get “obliterated” at the presser across the pond, noting that Paul received quite a few boos while KSI had a slew of cheering fans – despite traveling to enemy territory. (Timestamp: 6:25 for mobile viewers) However, a subsequent Tweet from KSI put that possibility to bed, with the YouTuber announcing that there will be no UK press conference, after all. Calling the development “a shame and quite frankly unfair,” KSI appeared to place the blame on Logan Paul, claiming that “a certain man don’t want the smoke.” Looks like there won’t be a U.K. press conference. It’s a shame and quite frankly unfair but whatever. Certain man don’t want the smoke lmao :shrug::skin-tone-6:♂️ — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) September 23, 2019 Of course, this post didn’t go unnoticed by Paul, who uploaded his response in the form of a video shortly thereafter. “…this has nothing to do with me,” he clarified. “I’ve been trying to make this press conference happen for the past month. Found out last week that it might not happen, which sucks, ‘cause I love London. I love the people. I can assure you I want the smoke.” regarding the UK/London press conference :uk: fight tickets :boxing_glove:https://t.co/WMZ1NLEnay pic.twitter.com/LIcSoBoxXf — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) September 23, 2019 This wouldn’t be the first time KSI has accused Paul of slowing down their rematch, either: the YouTuber called out his opponent on Twitter in mid-June, claiming that Paul’s management was dragging their heels in organizing the fight. “You guys don’t know how to even create a boxing event,” KSI snapped at Maverick member Mike Majlak, calling his team “useless” and even offering to hold the rematch in the UK once more. Shut the fuck up. You guys don’t know how to even create a boxing event. You’ve been talking to a few organisers to set this whole thing up since you can’t do it and nothing has happened still. YOURE USELESS. WE GET SHIT DONE IN THE UK https://t.co/VKZhOssgim — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 While details for the fight have since been sorted out, it looks like the UK is getting no love this time around – and with both YouTubers having just two months left to prepare before their rematch, time is quickly ticking down for the net’s most anticipated grudge match yet.

KSI vs Logan Paul Boxing Fight Will be a Pay-Per-View Event on YouTube The much anticipated boxing fight between KSI and Logan Paul, as well as ComedyGamer vs Jake Paul is set to be streamed on YouTube – but it will cost $8 (£6) to watch, using a Pay-Per-View (PPV) model. The first ever YouTube boxing fight, between KSI and Joe Weller was live streamed on YouTube for free, and peaked at well over one million concurrent viewers, and it was expected to smash that figure this time around. However, if they want to do so they will need to hope fans are willing to cough up the cash to get access to the official streams, which will be broadcast on the fighters’ respective channels. Between them the four YouTubers have over 70 million subscribers across their channels, but the majority of their content is completely free to watch, so it will be a test if they can convince viewers to pay for this event. The main issue this causes is it increased the likelihood of ‘illegal’ streams, where users will rebroadcast the stream on other hosting sites, stealing away viewers and revenue from the official channels. Despite the event being hyped up as the biggest event in YouTube history, having the content behind a paywall will certainly put some viewers off, either prompting them to watch an unofficial stream, or not watch at all. KSI first broke the news that it would be PPV by tweeting a link to the official stream following the UK press conference on July 18th. The link requires payment to access the video, with the message ‘This live event is available pay-per-view.’ For those of you saying it’s too far etc, you can watch the livestream here https://t.co/IC75KtKoet — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) July 18, 2018 In addition to the livestream for the event, fans can also attend in person at the Manchester Arena, with tickets starting at around £30, and going all the way up to over £500 ($650) for the VIP package. Fans quickly noticed that they would also have to pay to watch even from the comfort of their own home, and many were less than happy about the paywall. You are not gonna get 5 mil live viewers if you have to pay — verif eye me (@VERIF_eye_ME) July 18, 2018 Some fans have already stated their intention to watch via unofficial streams, and some even suggested they themselves would re-stream the fight.

KSI vs Logan Paul 2: Eddie Hearn explains “no YouTubers” undercard Sky Sports Boxing, YouTube / Logan Paul, InstagramYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to throw down in their highly-anticipated boxing rematch on November 9, but news of an official undercard for the fight has been up in the air – until now. While the YouTubers’ initial bout in August 2018 featured a slew of internet stars on its undercard – including the infamous fight between Deji and Jake Paul – this time, the pair are looking to go pro in a major way. British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn explained that the YouTubers’ undercard won’t feature any other social media celebrities during an interview with Sky Sports Boxing on September 4, turning popular speculation for the fight on its head. https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/1168950358212849665?s=20Instead, Hearn claimed that the bout is going all-pro aside from the main event, featuring professional boxers as a means to help bring a fresh audience to the historic sport. “On the undercard, we want world-championship boxing,” Hearn explained. “We don’t want other YouTubers and celebrities – no, this is a chance for boxing to bring in new fans, and if we’re gonna bring them in, we need to show them the greatness of our sport.” (Timestamp: 2:27 for mobile viewers) Hearn’s statement was met with some contention, with the likes of Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR arguing that it was “bullshit” not to feature other YouTubers on a YouTuber rematch – but this could be good news for the Paul brothers, considering they each expressed hopes of going pro after last pay-per-view fight last year. According to @EddieHearn there will be no YouTubers on the @LoganPaul vs @KSIOlajidebt undercard – Only Pros! THIS IS NOT RIGHT! Why should be promote & support you if you won’t put any of our guys in the ring? THATS BULLSHIT!!!! pic.twitter.com/PdDIyhwGd8 — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) September 5, 2019 However, this development doesn’t come as a massive surprise, considering the news of pro boxer Billy Joe Saunders defending his world super middleweight title on the undercard per reports from the Independent on August 31. Despite this potential leg up for KSI and Logan Paul, other big-name YouTubers vying for a spot on the undercard will have to sit this one out – including the likes of Fouseytube and Deji, whose recent beef seemed promising for the November rematch. KSI vs Logan Paul 2 will throw down in the Los Angeles Staples Center, with the event streaming for American audiences on “DAZN” – although news of other pros on the card has yet to be revealed.

KSI vs Logan Paul 2 press conference: streaming, time, & how to watch Logan Paul, Twitter / Matchroom BoxingYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to throw down in the internet’s most anticipated boxing rematch on November 9 – but the fight’s undercard remains under wraps, which should be clarified for the event’s press conference on September 14. KSI vs Logan Paul 2 will take place at the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 9, boasting an “all pros” undercard, according to Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. However, the pro fighters in question have yet to be named, aside from British professional boxer Billy Joe Saunders – the opponent of whom should be revealed at the fight’s press conference. 600https://twitter.com/KSIOlajidebt/status/1172616413196013569?s=20 How to watch the KSI vs Logan Paul 2 press conference According to an official poster Tweeted by KSI on September 13, the press conference will likewise take place at the LA Staples Center on September 14 – a little less than two months before the rematch date on November 9. Fans can catch the conference in-person at the Staples Center, or watch the event live on sports streaming platform DAZN’s YouTube channel, with the stream beginning at 1 PM PST (4 PM EST/ 9 PM BST). What can fans expect from the press conference? While KSI and Logan Paul’s initial bout in August 2018 saw a drama-filled conference – complete with below-the-belt insults and actual riots in the streets – KSI hinted that this next conference could be more professional, as told in his announcement video on September 3. “I think it’s gonna be more a battle of words,” KSI admitted. “I’m not gonna go with the whole, try and make fun of him, because I’ve already done that.” Fans can also look forward to more fighters being introduced on the undercard – an undercard that Eddie Hearn claims will be “pros only.” Will other YouTubers fight on the rematch undercard? Despite Hearn’s claims, YouTuber Jake Paul pleaded with the promoter to let him fight on the undercard, claiming that he was being excluded from the “KSI vs Logan Paul narrative” despite having been part of the feud from the very beginning. Read More: MrBeast escalates Morgz YouTube copycat feud – Paul even secured a pro boxing license for the bout – a fact that Hearn appeared to appreciate, responding to his video with a simple Tweet that read, “Good video – let’s talk!” Considering the drama from last year’s press conference, fans and critics alike can only imagine what will happen this year – although, with the rematch “going professional,” things could take a very different turn in comparison.

KSI vs Joe Fournier leaked after YouTuber teases “challenging” match Instagram: joefournier / YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI may be facing off against pro boxer Joe Fournier after a supposed leak from DAZN penned the bout for January 2023. YouTube star KSI is getting back into the boxing ring after a two-year hiatus put his combat sports goals on pause. Fresh off a double-victory against British rapper ‘Swarmz’ and Mexican pro boxer Luis Pineda in his ‘two fights, one night’ event on August 27, KSI is already looking forward to his next bout… and it may have gotten leaked ahead of time. In early October, an image supposedly leaked from DAZN’s social media accounts showing a fight poster touting a match between KSI and undefeated pro boxer Joe Fournier. According to the poster, their bout would take place on January 14, 2023 — right around the time fans expected the YouTuber to announce his “PRIME” card, which they anticipate will be chock full of other influencer boxing matches. Who is Joe Fournier? Joe Fournier is an English businessman who transitioned to the world of boxing in 2015. At the time of writing, Fournier boasts an undefeated record, with one win by no contest, one by RTD, and all others by TKO. Is KSI boxing Joe Fournier? For now, neither fighter, nor DAZN, has confirmed the match to be real — but that isn’t stopping important parties from reacting to the supposed leak. In fact, KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, responded to the rumor via Twitter, saying it “would be a good fight and very tough challenge tbf. If the people wanted it, why not.” Joe Fournier calls out KSI Fournier actually called out KSI right around the time rumors of their bout began to surface, openly challenging the YouTuber to a fight in an Instagram video. “And then KSI fights two people in one night. But KSI, you just needed me, man. ‘Cause you wouldn’t get past the first round and it would be over for you. So what I don’t understand is, if you wanna fight real guys, just come. I’m ready.” This news comes after KSI hinted at his next match, claiming that his upcoming opponent will be a “challenge” for him. For now, it’s still uncertain whether these two will actually meet in the boxing ring, but until then, fans can look forward to Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva on October 29.

Will KSI vs Logan Paul 2 have another YouTube fight? Promoter reveals all Logan Paul, TwitterYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to settle their beef once and for all in the net’s most anticipated boxing rematch yet – but despite having an “all pro” undercard, promoter Eddie Hearn teased the possibility of future YouTuber matches. Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn revealed in an interview with Sky Sports Boxing that the YouTubers’ rematch would feature professional boxers, unlike their previous bout, which saw a slew of online entertainers on its undercard. “We don’t want other YouTubers and celebrities,” Hearn explained. “…This is a chance for boxing to bring in new fans, and if we’re gonna bring them in, we need to show them the greatness of our sport.” (Timestamp: 2:27 for mobile viewers) However, the promoter seemed to backrack on this statement after the rematch press conference on September 14, appearing to entertain the idea of Jake Paul fighting another YouTuber on the card – but his subsequent interview with The Sportsman says differently. Despite considering the idea of a separate fight for Paul and another YouTuber later in the year, Hearn claimed that a single YouTube fight was enough for 2019, even revealing that other celebrities had approached him for a potential bout. 600“I’ve had singers, sportstars saying ‘I’ll come on it’, but that’s not really what it’s about,” he said of the matter. “KSI and Logan Paul have both boxed before, and they are two huge names from that internet community. I think one fight will be enough for this year.” While Hearn admitted that both KSI and Logan Paul “don’t know how to come across as fighters,” he compared their rematch to the WWE, stating, “Nobody has given them a helping hand and they’re grabbing the opportunity with both hands.” 600Hearn’s latest comments could come as a shock to Jake Paul, who pleaded with the promoter to let him have a spot on the undercard and the press conference, claiming that KSI had “excluded him from the narrative” of the fight. As it stands now, it looks like the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch will be the only major YouTuber boxing match to take place in 2019 – but with a slew of pro fights on the undercard, it promises to bring explosive actions to fans across the globe.

KSI vows to take on Jake Paul in 2023 to determine who is greatest YouTube boxer IG: Jake Paul / YT: KSIKSI’s return to the ring is imminent, but he’s already looking ahead after vowing to take on Jake Paul in 2023 in a bid to determine who is the greatest YouTube boxer of their generation. In 2018, KSI and Logan Paul ushered boxing and YouTube into a new era by combining them in a way that was never seen before. Things really got into gear during their rematch in 2019, which was a professionally sanctioned bout. KSI won again, this time by a split decision. Little did they know, they set the wheels in motion for a brand new scene. KSI hasn’t stepped into the ring since then. Meanwhile, Jake Paul and Logan Paul have taken YouTube boxing to new heights by taking on professional fighters like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Floyd Mayweather. However, that’s about to change after announced he was making a return for one reason and one reason only: to take on Jake Paul. He revealed it could happen in 2023 and explained why he’s so adamant about doing it. KSI believes he is the “king” of YouTube boxing and one of the “OGs” who started the trend. Not everyone shares that view, though — because it’s been a while since he fought. So, one of his motivations is to “silence” the haters. However, the other thing motivating him is the fact that people like Jake Paul have been thriving in his absence. “I have been watching all of these pr*cks boxing away thinking they are sick, like Jake Paul,” he said. For that reason, he wants to knock The Problem Child off his pedestal and prove, once and for all, that he is the one true king of the YouTube boxing world. And it turns out the fight could happen sooner than expected. After being approached by a fan who asked him when he’ll be fighting Jake, KSI said: “Probably next year.” Then, when the fan then told him people were dying to see it happen, he responded, saying: “I know. Soon. Soon.” The video embedded above also shows KSI hard at work while training for his fight against an unnamed opponent in August. It won’t be Jake Paul. However, it will be someone he hopes can prepare him well enough. Meanwhile, he also laughed off a challenge from former One Direction member Liam Payne, telling him to take on a lesser foe in Bryce Hall first, and if he manages to knock him out, perhaps he’ll consider his proposal.

KSI Visits the UFC Performance Institute to Find Out How Hard He Will Be Able to Punch Logan Paul in Their Fight ksiThe current king of boxing on YouTube, KSI, has uploaded a new video where he tests his punching power, and various other performance markers, at the UFC Performance Institute. The boxing match between KSI and Joe Weller on February 3rd of 2018 was one of the biggest events in the history of YouTube, drawing in millions of live viewers. It was so big, in fact, that it broke the record for the biggest amateur white collar boxing event in history. With over 25 million people watching the replay of the event, it is fair to say that it broke some serious barriers between the online entertainment industry and the mainstream. Following the fight, KSI called out both Logan and Jake Paul, two of the most controversial characters on all of YouTube, and, after a great deal of posturing on both sides, Logan Paul eventually agreed to face the Brit on August the 25th in the US. Read More: PewDiePie Hits Out at VICE Again For Slander and Weighs in on YouTube Subscription Box Debate – With the highly anticipated event drawing ever closer, KSI made a trip the state of the art UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas to find out how hard he can punch and complete a number of other athletic tests. Everything from “reactive index” to speed squats were included in the tests and KSI performed relatively well throughout, even being described as an “average UFC fighter” at one point, but the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to was how hard can the YouTuber punch? KSI went through this part of the test with UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin. The former Light Heavyweight Champion took the British entertainer on to the “PowerStation Pro” and had him throw a number of different punches. Overall, the average punches that KSI was throwing were “actually pretty good” and Forrest even went so far as to say that KSI could “probably knock me out”. “This is enough power to knock somebody out if you catch them right. […] That’s plenty of force to knock out most people. Again, you’re not knocking Mark Hunt out like that […] Everybody’s a little different. Uhm, you’d probably knock me out with that”. The full video and results can be found below, with the punching power section beginning at the 5:20 mark.

KSI vows to return “with a vengeance” after iShowSpeed beats him on Spotify YT: KSIBritish rapper KSI has vowed to come back for his “throne” after seeing fellow YouTube star iShowSpeed surpass him in terms of monthly Spotify listeners in 2022. Despite originally starting as a FIFA YouTuber, KSI’s expansion into the world of boxing and music has been incredible. The success of songs like ‘Holiday’ and ‘Summer is Over’ have seen the Brit transform into an acclaimed singer on top of his many other achievements. However, during a browse-through his subreddit, KSI was somewhat humbled when he found out that iShowSpeed actually boasts more listeners on Spotify. A post showed that the young American is approaching 5.2 million monthly listeners on the music platform, compared to KSI’s 5.07 million. KSI promises to “take back” his throne after iShowSpeed beat him on Spotify He stated that it must have been IShowSpeed’s World Cup song that gave him a push and the subsequent momentum to overtake his fellow content creator. KSI also stated that he was not active on Spotify lately, contributing to his “dethroning.” He didn’t make any excuses, and promptly agreed that iShowSpeed has beaten him “musically at least”. Timestamp: 8:50 He did, though, promise to “come” for iShowSpeed and regain his throne. “It is a marathon, not a sprint,” he said. “Speed I’m coming to take back my throne. You might be enjoying it right now, but best believe, next year I’m back. I’m gonna be releasing music. I’m gonna be back and I’m gonna be back with a vengeance.” Despite the amicable nature of KSI’s challenge, it’s certainly good news for fans of his music. He was not particularly active musically this year, releasing just 3 songs this year not counting remixes and instrumental versions. iShowSpeed, on the other hand, has found himself on the end of considerable criticism after an interaction with a Chinese fan at the Qatar World Cup went viral. He did apologize after the event and “promised” fans it was not intended in any derogatory way. The two have gone at one another previously, no more so than when iShowSpeed flattened KSI in the Sidemen’s Charity match 2022. There appears to be another friendly rivalry brewing here.

KSI video remains monetized despite including racial slurs ksiolajidebt, YouTubeOlajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has uploaded a video to his YouTube channel which includes racial slurs and, to the surprise of some users, is still being monetized with advertizements. The popular YouTuber showed viewers some highlights taken from a recent Q&A session he held with fans using Discord, where they were each given one question each to ask. However, it was hijacked by one man who dared KSI to call him a “curry muncher” – an offer that the internet personality refused. KSI then dared the fan to call him “a n*****”, and they obliged. “Call me a curry muncher bro!” the fan said, to which he replied: “Alright, call me a n****. Do it. I dare you. I fucking dare you.” After being called a “fucking n*****” by the fan, KSI just stared into the screen for a few moments. None of these racial slurs have been censored or otherwise removed from the video, and are perfectly audible. In fact, the thumbnail of the video itself reads “I got called the N word”. This news comes just days after Creator Insider uploaded a video, assisted by a member of YouTube’s monetization team, where they clarified not only the red flags of using profanity but also that any use of slurs of this kind would lead to advertizers refusing to post adverts on such content. Yet, even with “I got called the N Word” in the thumbnail and the racial slurs included, adverts are still present on KSI’s video. At the time of writing, the video has over 2.7 million views, with almost 200,000 likes and less than 6,000 dislikes.

KSI visits mosque to educate himself after racial slur controversy YouTube: LADbible TVKSI was seen visiting a mosque in the UK to apologize and learn from his mistakes after he used a racial slur in a recent Sidemen game show. The British YouTuber recently came under fire for using the slur “P*ki” while playing a satirical version of Countdown for the Sidemen YouTube channel. After backlash from fans and other content creators, KSI gave a formal apology, saying: “I wanna apologize for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. “There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry…I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human.” KSI also announced that he would be taking a break from social media because of his recent mess-ups, a promise that he has kept so far. KSI visits mosque to educate himself After the controversy, fans and content creators called on KSI to take the issue seriously, with Jake Paul telling him that he needed to give back to the community he had hurt. It seems that KSI has taken this advice to heart, because he was seen visiting mosques in Bradford and speaking to community members in an effort to educate himself on issues facing the Pakistani community, and to apologize for what he said in person. KSI didn’t bring any cameras to film the visit, and didn’t publicize it in any way, but other people in the area recognized him and posted about it on social media. In one video, one of the people in the mosque can be heard explaining to others why KSI is there. “It’s part of learning. He’s here to learn. He’s never been in a mosque before” “It wasn’t said with the intention of malice. They didn’t understand. But it was ignorance.” The Sidemen also put out a statement apologizing for the event, saying: “We accept that it was completely unacceptable and inexcusable. The fact the incident was made light of on the show was wrong and compounded to hurt. We deeply regret this and would like to truly apologize. “We have reflected on this incident both collectively and individually and are truly ashamed that we let ourselves and you guys down in this way.” For more news and updates on KSI and the Sidemen, check out our coverage here.

KSI urges fans to hear out Logan Paul amid Cryptozoo ‘scam’ accusations YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has responded to the controversy surrounding friend and business partner Logan Paul, who has been accused of scamming fans with his 2021 NFT game, ‘Cryptozoo.’ KSI and Logan Paul were, at one point, the most bitter rivals on the internet. The two even kickstarted the current influencer boxing trend because of their beef, stepping into the ring twice over to hash out their differences in front of thousands of fans over the course of two years. Although KSI ultimately emerged the victor of their two boxing matches, the creators mended the rift between them, becoming fast friends — and later, even started a business together, launching PRIME Hydration in early 2022. Since then, the YouTubers have been extremely close (with no help from little bro Jake Paul, who’s hellbent on fighting KSI in the near future)… but a recent controversy surrounding Logan Paul has made their friendship a bit awkward. Recently, Paul was called out by cryptocurrency investigator and fellow YouTuber Coffeezilla, who created a three-part video series dissecting Logan’s Cryptozoo NFT game that he released back in 2021. Since then, Logan has been on the receiving end of “scam” accusations, with netizens feeling he swindled fans out of their money after launching the game and subsequently abandoning it for over a year. Logan even appeared to promise a response video to Coffeezilla’s claims on January 2 — but it never dropped, leaving fans more frustrated than ever. Instead, both Paul and KSI announced the upcoming launch of their PRIME Hydration energy drink line, sparking some unimpressed responses online. Although Logan has been silent about the accusations against him as of late, KSI has finally responded to the whole ordeal, asking fans to wait and “hear his side” during a YouTube video uploaded on January 3. KSI responds to scam accusations against Logan Paul “Let’s hear his side of it,” KSI laughed. “Let’s hear his side before we crucify him because, how many times have we jumped to conclusions and it’s just been completely false? Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez? Mad people were like, ‘Tory Lanez is innocent, and now Tory Lanez has been proven guilty.” “Let’s just wait to hear both sides and then judge from there,” he continued. “Honestly, you should just buy PRIME if you enjoy the drink. You shouldn’t buy because of me.” (Topic begins at 11:42) KSI’s comments came in response to a fan who memed that they only bought PRIME as a fan of KSI, not his business partner. (Logan Paul has since responded to the accusations against him in a video, wherein he threatened legal action against Coffeezilla over his YouTube videos about Cryptozoo.)

KSI victory over Joe Fournier overturned by PBA due to “accidental elbow” Happy PunchThe Professional Boxing Association (PBA) released a statement announcing KSI’s KO victory over Joe Fournier has been overturned after a review of the “accidental elbow” that ended the fight. On Saturday, May 13, YouTuber KSI stepped into the ring with Joe Fournier. KSI maintained an undefeated record (5-0-1) coming into the fight, with a single Draw from his first bout with Logan Paul in 2018. The YouTuber, while controlling the pace for the majority of the bout – putting Fournier through a hell of a beating – was crowned the victor after his opponent found himself sprawled on the canvas. But spectators weren’t convinced the victory was a clean win. A stray elbow connecting with Fournier’s face drew suspicion, as Joe accused KSI of cheating and ultimately submitted an appeal for the loss. Fournier successfully appeals loss to KSI On Friday, May 19, the PBA published a statement overturning the results of the KSI vs Fournier fight. After a thorough review, PBA stated: “Even though KSI was winning the fight, the blow with the forearm/elbow has been found accidental and the obvious disappointment that will follow, it has been decided that the contest is declared a No Decision in accordance with the Rules.” The No Decision rules state, “A No Decision (ND) occurs in some jurisdictions on combat sports if a fight is stopped before the end of a certain amount of rounds due to an accidental headbutt or injury, as no winner is selected on points.” Since KSI was decided the victor via KO instead of points, and the blow was ruled accidental, the PBA went with a No Decision overturn. That said, KSI didn’t seem too upset with the win being wiped from his record. He quote-retweeted an image of the announcement, writing, “Still undefeated. Feels good man.” He went on to state he would only entertain a rematch with Fournier if he fought Salt Papi and Slim on the same night for a 3 fights, 1 night PPV. He also took shots at Fournier in another tweet, congratulating him on his “No Contest.”

KSI under fire for using TikToker’s appearance to mock Tommy Fury TikTok: the_honest_1 / YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI is coming under fire after using a TikToker’s appearance to mock Tommy Fury ahead of their October 14 boxing match. KSI and Tommy Fury are finally set to trade blows on October 14 after the latter gave Jake Paul his first-ever boxing loss back in February. Although the two influencers have been feuding for some time now, KSI is going in on his opponent on social media, mocking the boxer’s appearance in a slew of posts on X. While this certainly isn’t the first time he’s done so, it seems that his taunts are ramping up lately — but not everyone is happy with how KSI is going after his rival. KSI faces backlash for using TikToker’s appearance to mock Tommy Fury On August 17, KSI reposted a TikTok video from user Amine (the_honest_1). The clip shows the TikToker flexing in a gym locker room, showing off his abs, biceps, and triceps. KSI, however, didn’t seem impressed with the TikToker’s body and instead used the man’s appearance as a way to mock Tommy Fury. “Can’t lie, Tommy Fury has never looked better,” the YouTuber wrote on X. He also shared a similar post on his Instagram stories. Commenters don’t seem happy with KSI’s latest post and are coming after the rapper for making fun of someone for their looks. “Making fun of someone’s appearance is not cool bro,” one user wrote. “Making fun of disabled people,” another said. “Nice one.” “Why would you use the way someone looks for content?” yet another wrote. KSI has yet to delete the post in question and has not commented on the subject at the time of writing. Amine also has not made a comment about the situation at the time of publishing this article. This isn’t the first time KSI has come under fire for some divisive remarks. The YouTuber was notably at the center of backlash earlier this year after using a racial slur during a Sidemen video, which caused the BBC to back out of creating a show with him due to the resulting outrage.

KSI updates fans on possible Jake Paul fight amid Logan Paul rematch rumors Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIME / YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has given fans a long-awaited update on his potential boxing match with rival Jake Paul after the ‘Problem Child’ knocked out former UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Jake Paul is coming down from his fifth professional boxing victory after his knockout win over Tyron Woodley on December 18. Boasting an undefeated pro record, Paul is looking toward even bigger opponents to pad his resume in the near future — but fellow YouTuber KSI is still waiting in the wings for his chance to take on the influencer-boxer. KSI has long awaited an opportunity to face off against Jake. After trading punches with big bro Logan Paul twice (and ultimately emerging the victor of their infamous rivalry), KSI made it a point to publicly challenge Jake, too. The two have since traded verbal blows back and forth on social media, and even had a tense faceoff after Jake’s victory over AnEsonGib in early 2020. Since then, it’s been an unspoken truth that the two will touch gloves, one day — but that day may be later, rather than sooner, according to a recent update from KSI. In a December 31 reaction video, KSI admitted that, while he definitely wants to pummel the youngest Paul brother into the canvas, that time will have to wait until his schedule clears. KSI explains why fight with Jake Paul won’t happen soon “I will, to this day, tell you that I still feel like I could beat Jake Paul,” he began. “I don’t care if he knocks out all of these people. Styles make fights, and I know my style would slap up Jake Paul.” “At the end of the day, I could say this, I could say that, it doesn’t matter. I’m not fighting right now. So who cares? Do I wanna fight? Yes. Can I fight? No.” “It’s not gonna happen anytime soon,” he continued. “Don’t hold your breath. …Things have to slow down in my other sectors of life before I can actually think about boxing again.” (Topic begins at 2:35) Considering his work with the Sidemen, his successful music career, and other various projects, it seems like KSI is full up for the foreseeable future… but it’s clear that he’s not putting a grudge match with Jake out of his mind. For now, KSI is focusing on his mysterious upcoming collaboration with Logan Paul, which kicks off on January 3, 2021.

KSI throws Jake Paul’s ‘respect’ back in his face with savage response YouTube superstar, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, wasn’t interested in sharing niceties with rival star Jake Paul, after the American praised the Sidemen member following the release of his new album. KSI launches new studio album After becoming one of the most popular YouTubers by creating some of the best FIFA content we’ve ever seen, KSI continues to evolve as a creator – delving into both the world of music and boxing over the past few years. With boxing on the backseat for the moment, the 25-year-old has released his next album, New Age, which has enjoyed rapid growth on the likes of iTunes and Spotify without even being released in the United States. KSI released his new album ‘New Age’ alongside friend and fellow artist Randolph. Jake Paul offers respect to KSI Despite the early success, KSI tweeted out that anyone on YouTube could use the music from his album without the risk of being hit with a copyright strike – something which is rarely seen from artists – and his decision has been widely praised. Jake Paul was quick to do the same and commended the move, before hinting that he would follow suit in the future on his future music ventures. He tweeted: “I’m going to do this too, I’m tired of artists being greedy, it’s time for change. Respect bro.” aye I fuck with this idea bro… I been on that same shit.. imma do this too. i’m tired of artists being greedy.. this the start of a change… respect bro — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 12, 2019 KSI’s brutal response to Jake Paul Despite Paul praising the move, KSI had no intentions of sharing the sentiment and ensured the rivalry between the pair continued with a savage response. The tweet continues the beef between KSI and the Paul brothers – the Brit has been actively seeking a boxing match with Jake after drawing against his older brother Logan back in August. Jake has insisted that KSI must rematch Logan first, but this latest drama makes a matchup between the pair seem like a formality in the future.

KSI triggers feud with “delusional” Justin Bieber Fresh off the back of his win in the rematch versus Logan Paul, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has slammed a “stupid” Justin Bieber, who taunted the victor before the fight. The KSI vs. Logan Paul rematch was the biggest pay-per-view internet event in history — reportedly shattering the previous record of 1.2 million buys. Although official figures are yet to be released, both fighters are expected to pocket over $1 million from the fight alone. Of course, pay-per-view numbers were expected to soar, given the hype and slander that was thrown from both camps before the fight. One guilty party of weighing-in, was none other than global superstar, Justin Bieber. Bieber predicted that Logan would “Rip his head off” in the days leading up to the fight. Of course, this prevailed not to be the case. After edging out the bout by a split decision, KSI returned to YouTube to provide a summary of the contest. Having previously claimed that he would “destroy” the Canadian pop sensation in a boxing match, KSI responded to Bieber’s verbal slews with some jabs of his own. Talking about the build-up the contest, KSI said: “A lot of influential people were hoping for my downfall, including Justin Bieber and, well, it sucks to be him right now…” “Justin Bieber was in the ring while I was in the ring as well. He was on the opposite side though, because my man’s afraid of me,” JJ continued. Explaining the post-fight situation further, KSI said: “Literally I was mouthing to him: ‘Logan didn’t win. Logan didn’t win… He didn’t rip my head off, did he?’ Justin Bieber was just sarcastically smiling. My man was so triggered, I could just see it in his face.” The British YouTuber then pulled up a screenshot of Justin Bieber’s post. The post highlights Paul’s knockdown of KSI and is captioned: “REALITY .. LOGAN PAUL CHAMPION.” Staring at the camera, JJ added: “Clearly he’s not living in reality and is delusional as f***! So Justin Bieber, let me confirm this reality for you… Here is my boxing record and here is Logan’s. Hopefully now you can see how stupid you look.” Although the YouTuber might be on cloud nine after his triumph, a flurry of verbal exchanges could soon lead to the pair locking horns inside the boxing ring in the near future.

KSI & the Sidemen perform actual film stunts in their latest video AOLIn his latest video, massive YouTuber and white-collar boxer KSI took on the Sidemen, a group of seven British YouTubers that includes wroetoeshaw, miniminter, and KSI himself. While the fighting in the video is completely fictionalized, it still makes for some hilariously good fun. The skit begins with KSI being sad about his draw with YouTuber Logan Paul, who he fought on August 25. The Sidemen come to comfort him, but end up laughing at his pain and cracking some clever jokes in the process. The group gets into an all-out brawl after KSI has enough of the taunting – and their choreography features some stunts that are actually pretty cool. The group tumbles through the house, performing flips and throwing fake punches in an impressive action sequence. Eventually, the Sidemen engage in a gunfight, and end up throwing one another into their indoor pool. They even broke a window for the skit, and smashed a few bottles over each other’s heads, as well. KSI appeared to be quite shocked at the aftermath during a behind-the-scenes segment just after the video’s conclusion. The video ends with KSI’s descent into madness, and the YouTuber being pulled up through his home’s stairway for several floors. A behind-the-scenes video revealed that the skit had an official director, film crew, and equipment, allowing for KSI’s floating sequence toward the end of the video. One member of the sidemen actually sustained an injury during the filming, during a scene where the group tumbled into another room. While cheesy, watching the Sidemen perform crazy stunts for a video certainly makes for an interesting time.

KSI threatens to “slap Deji in the face” amid diss track drama Uncut with S1, Deji – YouTubePopular YouTubers KSI and Deji Olatunji seemed to squash their beef in early 2019 – but now, the two brothers are feuding once more, and KSI isn’t playing nice this time. KSI appeared in an interview on YouTube channel ‘Uncut with S1’ on May 5, where he opened up about their current beef and even made a physical threat toward his little brother. “I’m just done with him now,” KSI said of their feud. “…I don’t care anymore. He’s made his bed, now he can rest in it. … I think he’s actually special. He must have something wrong with his head. …If I saw him, I’d probably slap him in the face.” [Timestamp: 28:16 for mobile viewers] According to KSI, Deji had asked their mother if he could re-upload the diss track, which prompted her to ask KSI about the issue. Although KSI appeared to say no to his request, Deji uploaded the video anyway, prompting a vehement reaction from his older brother. KSI opens up about Logan Paul boxing match earnings That wasn’t the only juicy info revealed during the podcast, either; KSI likewise admitted that he’d made enough money from his boxing match with Logan Paul to “last him his whole life.” “I’ve already made enough before that to have a good life, but now it’s making sure my great-grandchildren have a good life,” KSI said laughingly. KSI’s beef with Deji flared up once more after Deji made his diss track against KSI public, despite promising to take the video off the platform for good as an end to their initial beef in 2018. KSI popped off on his brother via Twitter shortly thereafter, claiming that he hoped Deji “never ever reaches 10 million subscribers” and claiming that he was “done” with him. The story behind KSI and Deji’s beef The two initially fought in late 2018 after Deji uploaded a diss track against KSI’s cameraman, Randolph, which included photos of KSI’s bank records. Deji went on to claim that KSI had gotten a girl pregnant in a following video, appearing to insinuate that KSI had pressured her for an abortion. Things continued to heat up until Deji kicked KSI out of the house on Christmas day, prompting KSI to issue a peace treaty with his brother, should he delete the diss track he’d made against him in the interim. Now, it appears that Deji has broken that promise, with the brothers indefinitely estranged until further notice.

KSI tells Andrew Schulz the rumored reason Alex Wassabi pulled out of boxing match YouTube: FLAGRANTYouTube star KSI has revealed the rumored reason why his former opponent, Alex Wassabi, suddenly pulled out of their boxing match weeks ahead of fight night. British YouTuber, rapper, and budding boxer KSI was slated to return to the ring after a two-year hiatus this August. For his self-described “warm-up match,” he’d chosen Alex Wassabi as his opponent — an American YouTuber who defeated KSI’s little brother, Deji, in a bout earlier this year. However, Wassabi pulled out just weeks before fight night, forcing KSI to replace him with British rapper and semi-pro footballer ‘Swarmz.’ This marks the third influencer boxing match to experience difficulties this summer, with Jake Paul and Austin McBroom both having to outright cancel or postpone their matches due to health and weight issues with their opponents. KSI opened up about the Wassabi fight in an August 9 episode of the Flagrant podcast with comedian Andrew Schulz, revealing that Alex had allegedly secured a doctor’s note for some purported injuries prior to their August 27 bout. That’s not all; KSI also claimed that Wassabi had threatened to sue him if he explained the situation in the wrong way. “So, there’s rumors — I think he said he was gonna try to sue me if I said this incorrectly — so I legally have to say he’s got a doctor’s note that says he has either a concussion or a broken hand, I’m not sure which one of the two, but he’s unable to fight,” the YouTuber explained. “Bro, legit, he did not want any smoke,” he continued. (Topic begins at 9:55) Although KSI’s August 27 bout against Swarmz is still set to take place, he’s been seriously eyeing a fight with Jake Paul for 2023 at the Wembley Stadium in a “winner takes all” extravaganza. While details have yet to be ironed out, KSI’s fight against Swarmz is looking more like an appetizer for one of the most highly-anticipated influencer boxing matches of all time… if it ever comes to pass.

KSI: “Thank God Andrew Tate Got Banned” KSIBritish entertainer KSI is pleased to see that controversial internet star Andrew Tate has been banned on multiple social media sites. Andrew Tate is arguably the most talked about man on the internet at the moment. With billions of views on TikTok and millions more on YouTube, the 35-year-old is known for his controversial opinions on women. The four-time kickboxing world champion was recently banned on Facebook and Instagram on August 19 for “violating its policies on dangerous organizations and individuals.” Many of his critics are over the moon with the recent social media bans, including YouTube star KSI, who’s relieved that he was banned from Instagram and Facebook. In a tweet on August 21, KSI was grateful to say the least after seeing Andrew Tate’s social accounts banned. “Thank God Andrew Tate Got Banned,” he wrote in a tweet, which at the time of writing has had 115k likes so far. However, one fan hit back at him, claiming he could easily be banned for the stuff he’s said online in the past and slammed him for celebrating Andrew Tate’s “censorship.” “I honestly don’t care,” KSI responded. “I just like ruining certain people’s day with my words.” I honestly don’t care 😂. I just like ruining certain peoples day with my words — ksi (@KSI) August 21, 2022 Recently, Andrew Tate revealed that he’d be open to stepping in the ring with KSI if the right amount of money was on the table, and even claimed he’d “fight anyone.” The 35-year-old kickboxer has also been eyeing up a fight with either Jake or Logan Paul, hinting that contract negotiations are underway. It’s unclear if we’ll see Tate touching gloves with someone in the ring anytime soon. However, he’s certainly heating things up with some of his comments online.

KSI teases response to scathing diss track by rapper ‘Quadeca’ KSI, Quadeca – YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji is gearing up to clap back at YouTube rapper ‘Quadeca’s’ scathing diss track, which took shots at both KSI and controversial social media star Logan Paul in a savage series of bars. KSI hinted at his response to the diss in a series of Tweets on December 3rd, even revealing a possible look at his outfit for the clap back. “Hahahahaha, this week is gonna be fun 😈 #Ares,” KSI wrote, with his hashtag possibly hinting at a title for the track. In addition, KSI revealed the drop date for the diss in a following Tweet, confirming that the song will go live on December 4, 2018. The Tweet captioned a photo of a king’s robe and crown, likely a costume KSI will don in the upcoming music video. Quadeca’s initial diss track saw a multitude of reactions from top YouTubers, including Logan Paul, who was likewise dissed by the rapper. However, the track also raised a controversial issue, which Paul confirmed – KSI could be hiding a secret girlfriend. “I heard this,” Paul stated in his response to Quadeca’s track. “KSI has a girlfriend.” While KSI has yet to confirm or deny the rumor, he did follow YouTuber and model Erika Costell on Instagram after her breakup with Jake Paul, which could suggest a possible relationship between the two. KSI is also beefing with his own brother, Deji, who exposed KSI’s bank records during his own diss track toward Sidemen member Randolph, going on to accuse KSI of getting a girl pregnant – and possibly even urging her to abort the child.

KSI teases revenge against Floyd Mayweather after “infuriating” Deji boxing match YouTube: The Pivot Podcast, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI says Deji’s boxing match against Floyd Mayweather was “infuriating,” and even teased some beef between himself and the 50-0 champ. On November 13, popular YouTuber Deji stepped into the boxing ring with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather… and it didn’t end well for the influencer. After six rounds, the ref called off the match, awarding Mayweather the victory by TKO after what many considered to be a less than impressive showing from Deji. While Deji held the L, he also claimed that Mayweather asked for some last-minute changes to their bout, saying he wanted to fight with 10 oz gloves instead of 14 the day of the fight — but Deji also noted that he managed to give his opponent a black eye in the process. Despite this little victory, Deji’s big bro, KSI, wasn’t at all happy with his little brother’s performance… but he also wasn’t jazzed about Mayweather’s attitude during the fight, either. KSI slams Deji’s “infuriating” boxing match against Floyd Mayweather KSI spoke out on the viral exhibition match during a November 17 YouTube video, where he called the fight “infuriating” and said he wished he were the one giving Mayweather what for. “He got beat up for six rounds,” KSI said of Deji’s fight. “I think for me, I hated it, because I just don’t want to see my brother get beat up like that. It just pissed me off. I wanted to get in that ring and f**k Floyd up.” “It’s the same situation with Alex Wassabi and Deji. It was just infuriating to see Deji just losing to someone I know he could beat. I know a lot of you are gonna be like, ‘There’s no way that Deji could beat Mayweather,’ but yeah, I feel like I could beat Mayweather.” (Topic begins at 3:05) He went on to slam Mayweather, calling the undefeated boxing champ “disrespectful” for how he handled his less experienced opponent. “Floyd was just having too much fun with him, man,” he continued. “Floyd was just doing pads during the break of the second or third round. He was just taking the piss, man. It was just too much. It was borderline disrespectful.” KSI isn’t the only high-profile YouTube-boxer taking issue with how Floyd performed in the ring over the weekend; even Logan Paul lashed out at the ‘Pretty Boy,’ calling his exhibition match against Deji “legalized bank robbery.”

How to watch The KSI Show digital concert: stream, date & time Twitter: KSIThe infamous rivalry between YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul has become an iconic moment in internet history — and fans may get to see it take yet another step in KSI’s upcoming digital event. Here’s how to catch it for yourself. On July 13 KSI shared a photo of himself and Logan Paul facing off in the ring, along with a link to an upcoming digital concert / live event called “The KSI Show.” Taking place on July 17 at 3 PM ET/8PM GMT, the PPV event will feature a performance by KSI, with a possible cameo by Logan, but probably not a boxing match between the two influencers, despite the tantalizing teaser ahead of time. How to watch The KSI Show As we mentioned, The KSI show is only available to watch through Pay-Per View when it first premiers. Fans willing to throw down $21.99 can order the show through the official website to watch it live. The official event website describes it as “a once-in-a-lifetime experience featuring first ever performances of tracks from All Over the Place, a retelling of the story of KSI, past, present and future with special guests and key characters throughout his journey and more.” If for whatever reason you can’t purchase the show, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to catch clips from it on YouTube and Twitch in the days after as well. Will Logan Paul be on The KSI Show? While KSI vs Joe Weller effectively sparked the current influencer boxing trend, it was KSI vs Logan Paul that shot it into the spotlight. Since then, a slew of content creators have taken their grudges to the boxing ring, and we have Logan and KSI’s rivalry to thank for it. While the two officially settled their beef in their November 2019 rematch — where KSI ultimately emerged the victor of a split-decision ruling — it looks like fans might see these two face off in the ring again over a year later. It was rumored that KSI and Paul were collaborating for a secret project after Logan was spotted hanging with his mates in London (sparking controversy over UK travel laws, in the process). However, nothing was shown until July 13, when KSI shared the photo of himself and Logan throwing down, along with a link to his upcoming digital live event. The KSI Show- July 17thhttps://t.co/F6RXI7Ggl2 pic.twitter.com/ktHS0hvFIu — ksi (@KSI) July 13, 2021 Thus far, the entire thing is shrouded in mystery, leaving fans wondering if they’re getting a KSI vs Logan Paul Part 3 — but considering the event “retells” events from the British YouTuber’s lifetime, it could also merely be a look back on his boxing career, like we mentioned. Considering the proposed collaboration between Paul and KSI, though, there could very well be more on the way from these two stars… but it looks like fans will have to watch and find out for themselves.

KSI teases mysterious video about YouTube rival Logan Paul KSI, Access – YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji teased an upcoming video over social media star and boxing opponent Logan Paul in a mysterious Tweet on December 20. KSI mentioned a possible video concerning his arch-nemesis in a list of other upcoming video concepts, which included the likes of “reacting to African movies” and “how many bandanas can I fit on my head?” “Anything else?” KSI wrote above a screenshot of his list, which also included what was called “Red Alert music video” – possibly hinting at yet another upcoming track from the YouTuber following his latest ‘Beerus’ music video. While no other details were given concerning the video about Paul, it isn’t out of the question to speculate that it might be a diss track, especially considering that the date for their rematch is set to take place in Spring of 2019. KSI would have a lot to hit back at, as Paul claimed that KSI had broken the terms of their rematch contract during his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast on November 28. “He already broke the contract, by the way,” Paul stated, after claiming that KSI would “bitch out” of their upcoming fight. “We’re supposed to fight in February, and he’s refusing to.” Paul also made light of KSI’s ongoing feud with his younger brother Deji, even inviting him onto his podcast to air out their beef. Despite wishing them well on-camera, Paul went on to throw shade at their grudge in a string of Tweets with his own little brother, Jake Paul.

KSI targets Tommy Fury after claiming Jake Paul negotiations have stalled YouTube: KSIKSI has made his post-May intentions clear, he’ll be turning his eyes to Tommy Fury if a match against Jake Paul isn’t locked in soon. JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji will box again May 13 on the next Misfits boxing card. While his opponent hasn’t been announced yet, fans know he’s been aiming for former MMA star Tyron Woodley or retired pro Joe Fournier to join him in the ring. However, he’s so confident that he’ll score a win, he’s already revealed to fans he’s thinking about what comes after that date. Although he previously claimed that the Jake Paul match would 100% go down in 2023, it seems like the business side of things may throw a wrench in the works of that plan. KSI has Tommy Fury in sight as Jake Paul negotiations run long Olatunji broke the news in a March 12 tweet where he brought his audience up to speed on the situation as it stands. “At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury,” he explained. “Jake Paul is being long with negotiations.” This isn’t the first time that the YouTuber has admitted that he wants a shot at Fury. Not only did he name-drop him after defeating FaZe Temperrr back in January, but he took a big dig at the pro boxer following Paul vs. Fury on February 26. On the other side, Tommy Fury has already acknowledged that he’d have no problem taking a match with KSI, insinuating that Olatunji isn’t nearly as talented as Jake and that the fight would be a breeze. “Sparring ain’t fighting, you got to get in there to do it and I’ll tell you now if KSI wants to entertain a fight – he’s no Jake Paul and I’ll take that no problem.” Setting up a sanctioned bout isn’t as easy as verbally agreeing to it though, so it remains to be seen if KSI gets the match that he’s gunning for.

KSI taunts Jake Paul as pair set to meet at Mayweather vs Deji fight YouTube: Boxing Social/Jake PaulKSI took a quick shot at Jake Paul as the pair are set to meet in Dubai for the Floyd Mayweather vs Deji fight On November 12. The rivalry between KSI and Jake Paul has been going on for nearly a decade at this point, as the pair have battled across YouTube, Twitter, and plenty of other avenues. Though, they have to come to blows in the ring. Fans of the pair have been expecting them to clash in the boxing ring for years now, but it just hasn’t happened. While Jake has gone on to cultivate a 6-0 record, KSI has been a little less active. As the Brit has gotten back in the ring, though, calls for the long-awaited fight have intensified again. They even ‘agreed’ to fight in 2023 at Wembley, but Jake’s side has cooled on the prospect of that happening. KSI taunts Jake Paul ahead of meeting at Mayweather vs Deji They will both be in Dubai for the Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather vs Deji fight, though, and while KSI will be supporting his brother, he’s also taunted his longstanding rival. “Can’t wait to see him try to slap me in person,” KSI tweeted after it was announced that Jake will be a “special guest” at the fight. Though the YouTuber didn’t add any further taunts, nor did Jake offer a response, plenty of fans revealed their excitement at the potential meeting. However, plenty suggested that Jake won’t come face-to-face with his longtime rival. It’ll be the first time that the two rivals have been in close proximity to each other in quite some time, and with tension as high as ever, it wouldn’t be completely shocking to see something happen between them. KSI is, of course, training for a fight in January as he looks to bolster his boxing record. Jake is also eager to fight at the start of 2023 after beating Anderson Silva. After that, though, who knows what will happen.

KSI takes shots at Logan Paul after release of Flat Earth mockumentary KSI, Logan Paul – YouTubeThe beef between YouTubers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul just turned up a notch, thanks to Logan Paul’s Flat Earth ‘mockumentary.’ Paul released his highly criticized ‘documentary’ over the Flat Earth community on March 20, sparking a slew of reactions from users across the internet – including KSI, himself. KSI retweeted Paul’s video with a scathing caption, writing, “I really hit you that hard, huh?” in reference to their August 2018 boxing match. Paul shot back at KSI’s comment in kind, replying with a black and white image of him punching KSI in the side of the head during their previous bout. While KSI has yet to respond to Paul’s photo, this is isn’t the first time the two have exchanged shots over Twitter. The rivals got in a heated spat in early March, after KSI expressed a greater interest in fighting Jake Paul instead of a rematch with Logan. Amidst the dirt-laden trash talk, KSI referenced Logan Paul’s fling with Instagram model Corinna Kopf, claiming that Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue had stolen the model out of Paul’s grasp. “The people don’t care about you anymore,” KSI continued. “…you’re the Suicide Forest boy, and that’s all you’ll ever be. Step aside.” While KSI and Paul were scheduled for a boxing rematch in 2019, it looks like their next meeting may not even happen, as apparent scheduling conflicts have arisen – as well as Jake Paul’s involvement in the mix, who claimed that he wants “nothing more in life” than to box KSI.

KSI, Tana Mongeau and more react to Logan Paul leaked video controversy Some of the internet’s biggest personalities have stepped in to react to Logan Paul after a video leaked online of a man that some immediately thought was actually him. The popular content creator is no stranger to being the center of attention when it comes to the internet taking shots at him from all angles – with plenty of YouTubers mocking his infamous Japanese Suicide Forest video and having KSI take literally jab at him inside a boxing ring. Now, though, with a video surfacing online that claims to contain footage of the Paul brother being intimate with another man – which he quickly rubbished as fake and clickbait – some of his friends, family, and biggest critics have lined up to take their own shots at him. Logan’s brother Jake first weighed in on the matter by revealing a text exchange that the pair had about the apparent video. Jake seemed to see the funny side of the things after alerting his brother to the fact that he had been trending, while Logan questioned the whole thing. casual day on twitter @LoganPaul pic.twitter.com/B66LlnoJot — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 22, 2019 Tana Mongeau, who has been in a relationship with Jake and even got ‘married’ to the Paul brother allowed her curiosity to get the best of her as she asked fans to provide a link. After seemingly watching the video, she weighed in with her analysis, saying it was “not….. not hot?” and that he “threw neck.” Hours after the video made the rounds on social media, JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji jumped in to mock Logan – circling back to their professional fight from November 9. “Now I understand why Logan Paul liked clinching me so much LMAO…,” he tweeted, much to the amusement of his own fans. His boxing trainer Vidal Riley also couldn’t stop himself from making a joke about the youtube pair’s rematch. “JJ’s win made Logan explore his options not only career wise…” he tweeted. JJ’s win made Logan explore his options not only career wise… — VIDDAL. (@IsitRIL) December 22, 2019 Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem weighed in on the whole situation as well after watching the video in question and related it to his own experience of similar claims. “It probably not him. Definitely looks like him! You can’t see his face good enough,” he tweeted. “Keep in mind there are like 3 hat-wearing beard gay videos that people spam at me daily. None are actually me.” Ok, well I saw the alleged video of Logan Paul giving head to another dude. And it probably not him. Definitely looks like him! You can’t see his face good enough. Keep in mind there are like 3 hat wearing beard gay videos that people spam at me daily 😂. None are actually me. — KEEM 🍿 (@KEEMSTAR) December 22, 2019 Of course, the Paul brother has already pushed the claims away and given an initial reaction in his own tweets. However, he will more than likely address in further detail during a YouTube video or his next imPaulsive podcast.

KSI takes shots at Jake Paul after face-to-face with Tommy Fury YouTube: Impaulsive, JJ OlatunjiKSI took the opportunity to flex on Jake Paul after his face-off with Tommy Fury on the official DAZN Boxing channel, which received almost double the views of Jake’s own face-off with Fury. KSI is set to fight Tommy Fury on the hotly-anticipated “Prime Card”, which will also see Logan Paul clash with Dillon Danis. Fury previously sparred with Jake Paul in February earlier this year, eventually winning by split decision. KSI and Tommy Fury have been taking shots at each other on social media for a while now, and they even did a virtual face-to-face on Adin Ross’s stream, which Jake Paul also appeared on. KSI flexes on Jake Paul with face-to-face view numbers However, the British YouTuber couldn’t resist making a jab at long-time rival Jake Paul on Twitter, where he posted a screenshot of each Face Off with the caption “Levels”. KSI drew attention to the fact that his face-to-face with Fury had gained 2.4 million views in just one day, while Jake Paul’s had received 1.8 million. KSI’s numbers were helped by the fact that the Prime Card has received a massive amount of hype over the last few months, and it’s billed to be the biggest influencer boxing event of the year. Still, 2.4 million views in just a day is very impressive indeed. KSI has also gone so far as to claim that he’ll bet £1million on his victory in October, though the exact rules about betting on yourself have yet to be figured out. If nothing else, it shows he’s confident going into the fight, just like Jake Paul was. For a complete rundown of what’s happening on the Prime Card and how you can watch it, check out our in-depth guide to the event here.

KSI hits back at Logan Paul after he tries to mock his music career Instagram: KSI/YouTube: Logan PaulPopular British YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has fired (more) shots at Logan Paul and his fan base, following one of the rapper’s ‘New Age’ music concerts. The feud between KSI and Logan Paul is showing no signs of slowing down, even if it is over a year since the beef initially began. The pair’s amateur boxing match in August of 2018, was originally meant to be the end of the saga, but disagreements over a rematch and other topics have seen it continue. Recently, KSI slammed Logan Paul for dodging a rematch, and is embroiled in a feud with his younger brother Deji, who has accused JJ of being abusive towards him. On June 22, KSI fired yet more shots at the American YouTuber, surrounding a video of one of his New Age music concerts. KSI tweeted the video, which shows him and fans rapping together at his Nottingham concert, which took place on June 21. The video is something of a spectacle, as the crowd and JJ go at it together, as well as flashing lights and smoke machines adding to the already impressive atmosphere. His retort is in retaliation to Logan’s previous criticisms of KSI’s audiences, saying that he was unable to sell out “50 person venues”, to which KSI responded that he can’t understand people “over the age of 7” buying a ticket to see Logan. Imagine being over the age of 7 and buying a ticket to hear you count numbers on stage… https://t.co/bIXEsaOigg — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 8, 2019 Try and do this and see how many can actually come to your show :shushing: https://t.co/nuF3FNoaCw pic.twitter.com/dENRkDwQ5K — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) May 18, 2019 KSI posted the video with the caption “Mums life you’ll never be able to do this with a 16+ crowd @LoganPaul”. The implication is that JJ is able to get incredible audiences, even with age restrictions in place, while Logan struggles to sell out his events, with his juvenile audiences. Mums life you’ll never be able to do this with a 16+ crowd @LoganPaul pic.twitter.com/FCdzgmlGeX — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 22, 2019 As the pair’s feud shows no signs of slowing down, it’s fair to say that we can expect to see more in their war of words, as they potentially build up to a second mega-fight, which has long been anticipated by the YouTube community. Read More: PewDiePie explains why Dr Disrespect streaming in E3 bathroom wasn’t a “big deal” following ban – The first fight, from August 25, 2018, became the largest white-collar boxing event in history, but controversially ended in a draw, which added even more fuel to the fire of demands for a rematch which, as of yet, we don’t seem to be that close to.

KSI takes on Tommy Fury to ‘do what Jake Paul couldn’t’ at Misfits x DAZN Series 009 Misfits / DAZNKSI and Tommy Fury are officially set to throw down, with the two influencers set to touch gloves on October 14 on the Misfits x DAZN Series 009 card. After months of back and forth in negotiations, KSI and Tommy Fury have officially announced they’ll finally be stepping into the ring. Ever since Jake Paul lost to Fury in early 2023, the British YouTube star has been eyeing up a bout with the professional fighter — with him looking to prove he’s the best influencer boxer. However, it’s fair to say the two came to a head when it came to contract negotiations, after constantly going back and forth. That was until KSI gave Tommy a final ultimatum, setting a deadline for him to sign the contract before he loses the opportunity to touch gloves after he felt “disrespected” during negotiations. Finally, Misfits president Mams Taylor teased the Series 009 card on July 22, where the promotion image showed the ‘X’ logo split into four parts, with the top-left corner showing KSI’s famous bandana, and the opposite corner slating the words ‘FURY’ written in fire. Now, in a tweet on July 30, the fight has been officially announced. KSI and Tommy Fury will be going blow for blow on October 14 on the Misfits x DAZN Series 009 card. “OCTOBER 14TH, I’m doing what Jake Paul couldn’t and beating Tommy Fury on the biggest night in crossover boxing history, at Manchester’s AO Arena, live on DAZN PPV on the PRIME CARD!” KSI wrote in a tweet. Series 009 is expected to be the biggest influencer boxing event we’ve seen to date. On the “Prime card”, former opponent and now business partner Logan Paul will be making his return to the ring. It’s unclear exactly who Logan will be touching gloves with just yet. However, fans are guessing he’ll finally be throwing down with Dillon Danis after the UFC star begged DAZN to “send the contract” to fight Logan in 2022.

KSI takes shots at Deji during hilarious reaction to Logan Paul podcast appearance YouTuber KSI has finally opened up about his brother Deji going on Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast during the height of their feud in December. Deji’s appearance on Paul’s podcast came on the same day that his own diss track aimed at KSI dropped, both of which occurred despite KSI begging Deji to keep things between them. While things seem to have calmed down a bit following the ensuing escalation of their feud that came to a head on Christmas day, KSI still took the time to have a bit of fun with the whole thing in a video posted on January 3. It’s clear throughout the entire video that KSI finds much humor in the situation, as he simply laughs his way through an abbreviated version of the podcast. After this, however, KSI begins talking a bit more directly about his feud with Deji, pretty much saying that he’s done with the whole thing. “I can laugh now because I’m in the clear,” says KSI on his feud with Deji. “I am free from my brother’s wrath. And now it seems like my bro is on [Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem]’s ass.” KSI didn’t stop there, however, as he also goes on to mention Deji’s plummetting subscriber count on YouTube as an explanation as to why he’s changed his tune. “Every time my bro makes a video about me, he just loses subs. So he’s not doing that anymore,” KSI says in between more fits of laughter. He even explains that he told Deji they could fix things if he would just delete his diss track, but Deji has refused to do so, according to KSI. “I don’t believe my bro is being genuine in actually working things out. I think he just wants to save face, which is sad because it’s just a video.” KSI ends his video my also asking people to stop harassing his family, alluding to a video that Deji posted on January 1 featuring their parents pleading to be left alone. Given the continued back and forth between these two over the last month, there’s no telling just when things will truly go back to normal.

KSI stunned as new Prime flavor is “security protected” in stores Twitter: NL___29 / KSIYouTube star KSI is shocked as the new Prime Hydration Strawberry Watermelon flavor is security protected in UK stores. Prime Hydation has been a mega success so far. Since its launch in early 2022, demand for the beverage has been through the roof — flying off the shelves at an absurdly rapid pace. Prime has even gotten itself tied up in some of the biggest sports in the world, notably sponsoring KSI’s boyhood football club Arsenal, partnering with the UFC — and more recently sponsoring their first athletes with UFC fighters Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski. Following the newest Prime flavor debut in the UK, KSI has been left stunned as fans have shown their bottles with a “security protected” sticker on them. KSI left stunned by “security protected” Prime Hydration The Strawberry Watermelon flavor first hit shelves in the US earlier this year, but has only now become available for fans in the UK. The flavor was available first via the UK Prime website on June 19, where it completely sold out in less than 15 minutes. On June 26, the Strawberry Watermelon flavor finally hit shelves exclusively in Tesco stores across the UK. However, some fans were baffled, as some bottles happened to have a “security protected” sticker on them — designed to deter shoplifters. One fan tweeted a picture of them picking up two bottles from the shelves, which caught the eye of the main man himself KSI, who was shocked to see that a drink, let alone his own, was being security protected. “Never thought I’d see a drink have a “security protected” sticker on it,” he wrote in a tweet. “We making history first drink with security my brother,” one fan reacted. “This isn’t anything new. I’ve seen this a few times haha,” another added. KSI and Logan Paul continue to outdo themselves when it comes to Prime, with the brand soon expected to become the sponsor of FC Barcelona, one the world’s biggest football teams, according to reports.

KSI’s suicide awareness ad revenue claimed by Logan Paul’s network KSI YouTube / Logan Paul YouTubePopular YouTube Logan Paul has come under fire for action taken against Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji’s latest video centered around his beef with brother Oladeji ‘Deji’ Olatunji, which could have a massive impact on the charities the content was supposed to support. When a YouTuber’s content has been claimed, ramifications could include anything from advertisement revenues taking a hit to the video being removed in its entirety. While there is a way to lift the claim, it usually takes a while before all can get sorted but even then the claimed video is losing out on all of the initial traffic it could have capitalized on as it debuted. KSI is currently experiencing these effects on his latest video after a surprise copyright claim from none other than Logan Paul. KSI’s response after seeing the dispute on his video. Why would Logan Paul’s camp claim KSI’s video? In his emotional June 3 response to his brother Deji’s claims, KSI used brief clips of Paul’s Impaulsive Podcast segment in which Deji had appeared on the show. This apparently led to a claim being put on the video by Logan Paul, which caught many by surprise. Read more: Top 5 100 Thieves CouRage Moments in Esports – It seems like the claim was automatically done by YouTube’s system, but it doesn’t look like Paul was at all apologetic about the claim. Logan Paul’s initial response to KSI’s video being claimed. KSI used the footage to show how Deji had gone onto the show even after explicitly requesting for the younger brother to avoid an appearance alongside Paul, who KSI has little love for. Putting squabbles between Paul and KSI aside, fans on social media sites were vehemently against Paul’s actions, sparking immediate ire. Paul’s response to the YouTube claim left fans incensed. After being made aware of what the claim was actually hurting, Paul took back some of his words. Paul admitted that some of the portions of his previous tweet was misguided. Why is Paul’s copyright claim getting fans heated? KSI’s “Ending it all” video was in regards to the mounds of drama piling up with his brother. But with the swarm of negative feelings stirring, he decided to keep the video monetized yet pledged it all to charities for suicide prevention. “Personally I don’t think content like this should be monetized,” KSI said. “However, I’m going to be putting ads across this video and putting all the money made from this video and giving it to various suicide prevention charities.” (Timestamp at 0:36 for mobile viewers) It came as a shock when he saw a dispute against his video, afterwards saying in a tweet: “If you don’t see ads, it’s because it’s being claimed by Logan Paul’s network.” Since releasing his response, the video has garnered about half a million views but it doesn’t seem like it will be raking in ad support for the initial launch.

KSI starts hilarious “beef” with Minecraft star TommyInnit YouTube: JJ Olatunji, TommyInnitYouTube star-turned-boxer KSI has struck up yet another humorous “feud” with the uber-popular Minecraft influencer TommyInnit — leading to a completely hilarious and unexpected response from the gamer. When it comes to fandom feuds, most bystanders know better than to get involved… but when content creators themselves declare war against each other, it’s almost impossible for viewers to not take an interest. This time around, British rapper and influencer KSI has taken some shots at TommyInnit — all for the jokes, of course. While the two have “duked it out” on social media before (all for the lulz), this time, a slew of other high-profile names are getting involved in a chuckle-worthy social media showdown. On February 24, KSI stirred the pot with a tweet that caught the attention of Minecraft fans all over the app: “Sidemen fanbase > Minecraft fanbase.” A short while later, the commotion caught the attention of none other than MrBeast, who replied: “Anyone else waiting with popcorn for TommyInnit to reply?” Read More: How does Addison Rae make money? – It wasn’t long before the British Minecraft star chimed in on the situation with a series of responses that left the internet in stitches. “Mr Beast,” he began “I don’t do drama Mr Beast. I just tell people who are wrong why they’re wrong, and why they’re f***ing stupid. KSI is almost always wrong. He’s never been right. He just sits there dissing people in his ivory tower, meanwhile I’m sat here on Reddit studying algorithm. F*** him.” mr beast. i dont do drama mr beast. i just tell people who are wrong why theyre wrong and why theyre fucking stupid. KSI is almost always wrong. hes never been right. He just sits there dissing people in his ivory tower meanwhile im sat here on reddit studying algorithm. Fuck him — TommyInnit (@tommyinnit) February 24, 2021 However, it was Tommy’s next response that took the joke even further, with the YouTuber poking fun at his own viewers: “Tommy fanbase is a bunch of 12 year old girls who fangirl over him. Same for Carl and Dream, and Sidemen fanbase who can handle jokes.” The Minecrafter then jokingly asked his fans to ratio KSI’s Tweet — a request that fellow Minecraft personality Quackity graciously agreed to, writing: “I just think it’s funny when old people get less likes. Signal boosted.” i just think it’s funny when Old People get Less likes. signal boosted — Quackity (@Quackity) February 24, 2021 While this is far from the first time KSI has effectively “stirred the pot” with the Minecraft fandom, their “feud” is no more than playful banter and humorous jokes — which are currently giving their respective fanbases a hilarious interaction that has some calling for a diss track.

KSI stunned as his “cringe” YouTube impersonator completely fools fans KSIOlajidebt 2, Pure O Juice – YouTubeOlajide “KSI” Olatunji is one of YouTube’s top personalities, known for his budding music career and current winning record as a professional boxer — but another YouTuber is using his fame for his own gain. KSI has finally made his return to YouTube, following his split-decision boxing victory over rival Logan Paul and touring for his new song, “Down Like That.” These exploits garnered the British content creator an ample amount of online buzz in 2019’s final months — so much so that a fellow YouTuber decided to impersonate him for a bizarre social experiment. KSI came across YouTuber “Pure O Juice’s” prank during a Reddit reaction video on January 29, where Juice physically transformed himself into the YouTube star, bandanna and all. While KSI laughingly admitted that there were more than a few physical differences between them, the “cringe” didn’t truly begin until Juice took his costume out into the wild, where he even set up an impromptu live performance of “Down Like That.” That’s not all: Juice even imitated KSI’s unique laugh, and brought it out while he was speaking to fans on the street. “I’m actually cringing, man,” the boxer admitted after watching his impersonator ask bystanders for photos. “I’m cringing so much, bro. My toes have literally curled up inside my legs. Like, f**k me.” While KSI wasn’t fooled at all by the YouTuber’s antics, quite a few bystanders seemed convinced it was really him, as evidenced by two young women who couldn’t wait to snap a picture with the undercover fake. (Topic begins at 15:00 for mobile readers) Juice himself later explained that, while he roasted KSI multiple times throughout his 20-minute long video, he’s actually a fan of the YouTube star, and meant no disrespect with any of his lighthearted jabs. Thus far, it seems that his practical joke has picked up in views — and while KSI may not have been a huge fan of the experiment, it seems that the YouTuber’s fame is prompting some hilarious commentary on his bombastic personality.

KSI sparks huge feud between Misfits Boxing and Jake Paul’s MVP British YouTube star KSI has started a massive feud between his promotion company Misfits Boxing and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. Last June, ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul began his own boxing company Most Valuable Promotions in order to self-promote his future bouts. Similarly, earlier this year, KSI alongside his manager MamsTaylor and boxing promoters Kalle & Nisse Sauerland launched Misfits Boxing ahead of the YouTuber’s return to the ring. Now, the two rivals are going back at it. Following on from KSI’s historic two fights in one night, the British entertainer attempted to provoke Jake Paul’s side once again – and it absolutely worked. KSI sparks huge feud with Jake Paul All stemming from a tweet on September 1, the London-born YouTuber noted how his Misfits Boxing passed Jake Paul’s MVP in followers on Instagram. However, the harmless tweet that poked fun at Jake Paul’s side unexpectedly turned into a heated feud. Most Valuable Promotions hit back by responding on Instagram, slamming KSI’s choice of opponents in his last two fights. “You can’t go to war fighting children. That’s a human rights violation,” they wrote, referring to backlash KSI received after fighting Pineda, who fans claimed looked like a child. MVP then up with an Instagram story, throwing some heavy-hitting jabs at KSI. “Jake Paul and KSI aren’t in the same sport,” they claimed. “1 is a boxer and 1 plays boxing with young children & rappers who admit they never boxed a day in their life. “1 is defined by Google as a pro boxer and 1 as a celebrity influencer,” they added. “Congrats on celebrating follower counts. You will never be A-Side in boxing. You are welcome to be A-Side on followers and likes.” MVP then corrected themselves, claiming KSI is listed as an ‘Internet Celebrity’ on Google. As of now, KSI is still yet to respond back. However, the short feud has certainly heated up the rivalry even more. Sadly, it looks as if fans still have long to go until they see the two touching gloves. KSI recently revealed that fighting Jake is still his end goal, but he’s still got plenty of work to do before it happens.

KSI spills more details about his upcoming rematch with Logan Paul KSI, YouTube / VarietyPopular YouTubers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul are set to throw down once more in 2019 – but where will their rematch take place? KSI may have spilled some sensitive information regarding the rematch’s locale during a video published on January 23, where he took calls and questions from fans on Discord. One fan asked if the rematch would take place in New York, to which KSI had a decisive answer. “Will the KSI vs Logan Paul II fight be in New York?” the fan asked. “No,” KSI answered simply, moving right along to the next caller. This latest intel holds up with KSI’s previous statements on the matter, where he expressed frustration that Paul wanted to schedule their rematch on the West Coast – which would alienate KSI’s largely European viewer base. “…Logan’s team suggested West Coast, which makes absolutely no sense due to the UK audience time zone,” KSI said of the situation. “East Coast makes way more sense, because then, more people could watch it.” Additionally, KSI set the date for their fight for November 2019, which contradicted previous information found on UK gambling websites that had scheduled the rematch for February 27. Logan Paul likewise alleged that KSI had broken the terms of their contract, and even claimed that he was dodging the fight; however, KSI denied these claims, placing the blame on Paul’s team for not scheduling things on time. Paul has yet to confirm a specific venue for the rematch.

KSI slams Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather as “most pointless” fight ever YouTube: KSI/Instagram: Logan PaulYouTube star JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji slammed Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul as the “most pointless fight” in the history of mankind after a rearranged date for the boxing exhibition was announced. YouTuber boxing might have started off relatively small, and only been between content creators, but it’s expanded way beyond that at this point. KSI and Logan Paul have had a legitimate, professional bout, while Jake Paul has taken down both Nate Robinson and Ben Askren with knockouts on Triller cards. After a delay the first time around, Logan is finally set to fight Boxing icon Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather on June 6th in Miami, but longtime rival KSI isn’t having it, and believes it’s not even worth watching. “This is the most pointless fight in all mankind, I can’t believe it’s happening, I guess everyone’s just trying to get their money up,” KSI said in his May 3 video. “I’m not going to be a clown and pay to watch this, I’ll just wait online on the next day for the results, which will be Mayweather winning.” The British YouTuber questioned just how the fight is actually going to be promoted, given Mayweather is up there alongside some of boxing’s all-time greats and Logan has lost to a YouTuber with minimal boxing experience. “Oh, Logan Paul has a chance! Yes, he lost to KSI, this random rapping YouTuber, but trust me, all it takes is one punch!” he joked, continuing to poke fun at the matchup. Timestamp of 2:05 While KSI might not be inclined to watch, it seems as if plenty of fans will. The bout has got such a ‘freakshow’ vibe to it, that it will always attract viewers, even if the result does seem like a foregone conclusion. Read More: YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing card – Bookmakers also believe there is no chance that Logan wins, with Mayweather being tipped at a -100000 favorite. That means if you bet $100,000 on Mayweather, you’d only make $100 should he win. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens anyway, but if the buildup is anything to go by, the fallout should provide some spicy responses from content creators around the globe.

KSI slams YouTube for second channel strike over child safety: “How is this fair?” YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star and chart-topping music artist KSI is at the end of his rope after his second channel got hit with another strike for “child safety,” placing the account in danger of termination. KSI is one of the biggest influencers in the UK, and arguably, the entire world. Starting out as a comedic sketch and gaming channel, KSI has gone on to become a massive presence in the music biz over the course of his eleven-year career as an entertainer. Despite his overall positive presence online (regularly getting roasted by his fans in his Reddit reaction videos and always wearing a smile), the content of his second channel has become a bit of an issue with YouTube as of late. In early March, KSI claimed that his second channel (titled JJ Olatunji) had been hit with a Community Guidelines strike over “child endangerment” in one of his “Try Not To Laugh” videos. This means that the video included content that could have shown a child in a dangerous situation. KSI reveals YouTube channel strikes On August 13, KSI took to Twitter to show that the same channel had been hit with two more strikes over the same issue — one on June 8 and the other on August 13. The YouTuber appeared to be beside himself, unsure how he could possibly comb over all his older content to be sure it fits within YouTube’s ruleset. A screenshot of the strikes shows a message from YouTube that reads, “If this happens again, just one more strike will result in the permanent removal of your channel.” “1 more strike and it’s over lol,” he said of the situation. “I feel like it’s inevitable anyway. I physically can’t watch every single video I’ve made on my 2nd channel to see if there’s any child safety in it…” 1 more strike and it’s over lol. I feel like it’s inevitable anyway. I physically can’t watch every single video I’ve made on my 2nd channel to see if there’s any child safety in it… pic.twitter.com/yFqkh7KX7u — ksi (@KSI) August 13, 2021 “I love YouTube, but this ain’t it man,” he wrote in another tweet. “How is this fair?” Will he quit YouTube? While YouTube has been KSI’s home for over a decade, it seems that the ‘Down Like That’ artist is losing his cool with the platform over its rules. It’s important to note that YouTube’s Community Guidelines strikes are not permanent. They expire after 90 days, meaning that one’s channel can be considered safe if they avoid breaking the rules too many times within that time frame. If one receives two strikes before the first has expired, they cannot post for two weeks. However, if one receives three strikes on their channel before they have expired, then their channel is subject to permanent deletion — which can mean a major loss of income to content creators who rely on their channel for money. It’s unclear if KSI will be moving to another platform or not, but thus far, it seems like the British Superstar is being met with a ton of support from his fans during a stressful moment in his occupation as a creator.

KSI slams Logan Paul for dodging boxing rematch and offers date for next fight YouTube superstar Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has stated he is “bored” of waiting to set a date to rematch boxing rival Logan Paul in the United States, calling for the fight to go down in the UK once again – next year. After knocking out Joe Weller in his boxing debut, KSI squared off against Paul after months of trash talk on August 25, 2018 in the Manchester Arena – generating over 1.05 million pay-per-view buys worldwide on YouTube and their official website. The bout ended in a majority draw, two judges scored the contest 57-57 and one favored KSI 58-57, making a rematch inevitable to truly settle who is the boxing king of YouTube. However, there have been no developments for almost a year on when the next match up will take place, with KSI confirming he would be willing to travel to enemy territory to fight but prefers Dubai as a neutral venue. Now, the Sidemen star has expressed his frustrations with arranging the fight in the US and called for his opponent to accept another showdown on British shores, at the 02 Arena in London next year. If this fight doesn’t happen in the US by the end of the year, then lets bring it back to the U.K. and fight at the 02 next year @LoganPaul — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 KSI suggested planning the event went off without a hitch in the UK, but nothing has happened in regard to setting a time and place in the States. The 25-year-old claimed he is “bored” of waiting and took shots at the previous fight’s judging, suggesting that “everyone knew Logan Paul lost the fight that night”, goading his rival to rise the challenge of another UK face off. Whenever it was in the U.K. the fight actually got sorted. As soon as it’s in the US, nothing FUCKING happens. I’m bored now. So lets have this rematch in the U.K. already cos you know and everyone else knows you lost the fight that night @LoganPaul — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 Shut the fuck up. You guys don’t know how to even create a boxing event. You’ve been talking to a few organisers to set this whole thing up since you can’t do it and nothing has happened still. YOURE USELESS. WE GET SHIT DONE IN THE UK https://t.co/VKZhOssgim — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 It was recently announced that KSI had signed with popular energy drink company G FUEL and the Brit couldn’t resist taking a jab at Paul during his own video revealing the partnership, knocking out a Paul lookalike. Whether KSI can replicate the feat against his American foe, remains to be seen.

KSI slams Logan Paul – offers Jake Paul boxing match instead YouTube/KSIvsLoganYouTube superstar Olajide ‘KSIOlajideBT’ Olatunji has suggested that his next boxing fight will take place against Jake Paul, the brother of his previous opponent – Logan Paul. In August 2018 KSI and Logan Paul fought one another in a pay-per-view boxing match streamed via YouTube, in what became the largest non-professional boxing fight of all time. The match ended controversially with a majority draw, 57-57. There had originally been a rematch planned at an undetermined venue in the United States, but clashes over contracts and availability since the original fight have cast doubt on this. Since then, KSI has put numerous YouTube videos up stating he is looking for a different opponent, and he now seems to have officially offered the fight to someone else: Logan’s younger brother, Jake Paul. Jake, who beat KSI’s younger brother Deji Olatunji on the undercard in August, was called out on Twitter following a tweet from Logan Paul, who was speculating that KSI would “skurt the rematch”. This prompted KSI to respond, arguing that Logan Paul had missed his chance for a rematch and that he would prefer to fight Jake, in order to “avenge my bro”. You had your chance and you blew it fam :joyful::joyful::joyful:. Besides, your brother is popping WAY more than you. You ain’t got the juice like that no more. I’m the champion remember :wink:. He deserves a shot. Plus I need to avenge my bro. Once I’m done with him, we can dance again… https://t.co/zxhSUUYkMn — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) March 9, 2019 The revelation comes amid long lasting speculation that the rematch will not take place, with KSI even suggesting he’d want to fight rapper Dax after the two had a heated exchange on social media. Now, it appears to be confirmed that KSI is looking elsewhere for an opponent, going as far as to tweet Jake Paul by name, offering him the “main event” and asking Jake to prove that he is “trash” – in response to comments made by the American on the ‘Impaulsive’ podcast. Anyway, @jakepaul you want the main event? You got it. Lets see how “trash” I really am… — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) March 9, 2019 The exchange has caused a large-scale Twitter dispute between Logan and KSI, with the two going on to swap personal insults on the social media platform. On top of the Twitter trade-offs, KSI appeared on the March 8 edition of YouTube news show ‘Drama Alert’ – talking to host Daniel ‘Keemstar’ Keem about the potential fight. KSI said that “if he’s [Jake Paul] actually serious about wanting to fight me, then I’m down,” while Keemstar himself indicated that he would prefer to see Jake fight KSI as opposed to a rematch with Logan. The situation is yet to reach an official conclusion, but stay tuned to Dexerto for the latest. What do you think? Who would you rather see KSI fight?

KSI slams “fraud” Jake Paul after Nate Diaz match reveal: “He’s too scared to fight me” YouTube: Jake Paul, JJ OlatunjiJJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has slammed Jake Paul just days after the latter revealed his match against Nate Diaz, calling him a “fraud” and claiming Jake is “too scared to fight” him. Jake Paul received his first boxing loss against Tommy Fury back in February 2023, with rumors of Jake fighting KSI next beginning to swirl shortly after. KSI’s manager Mam’s Taylor made claims that the fight would take place before Jake’s rematch against Tommy Fury, only to be met with the younger Paul brother revealing his match against Nate Diaz in August. Just a few days later, KSI hit out at Jake Paul in a YouTube upload, calling him a “fraud” and claiming he’s “too scared” to fight him. KSI slams Jake Paul for not fighting him next In the upload on April 16, 2023, KSI shared his opinion surrounding Jake Paul’s recent reveal of his upcoming fight against Nate Diaz. KSI went on to explain the difference between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul, calling the latter a “fraud” because he has gone back to fighting an MMA fighter instead of a boxer. “That’s the problem with Jake Paul. He’s a fraud and people need to wake up to this fact. He can’t beat boxers.” he said. “That’s why he’s staying clear from me, Salt Papi, Joe Fournier, etc.” Later in the video, JJ went on to share a message for Jake Paul. “Ultimately, Jake Paul is scared of me. If we never manage to make this fight happen, I want you to know this Jake. You will forever be known as the man that claimed to want to avenge his brother’s loss, but ultimately was too scared to actually go through it,” he said. “Enjoy your fight with another MMA fighter. When you’re actually ready to man up and end this feud with your boy KSI I’ll be here waiting.” KSI is set to fight Joe Fournier during Misfits 007 on May 13, head over to our article to check out how to watch.

KSI slams Jake Paul’s “terrible” performance vs Nate Diaz Esther Lin/Most Valuable PromotionsKSI has taken to Twitter to critique Jake Paul’s performance in his fight against former UFC star Nate Diaz. Paul emerged victorious against Diaz in a ten-round showdown on Saturday at the American Airlines Center. Though Diaz posed resistance, Paul showcased his boxing prowess; demonstrating superior power and technique that carried him to a unanimous decision victory. Reflecting on the fight, Paul praised Diaz’s resilience: “He’s a warrior. I had him in the first round. He kept on coming. No one has taken that much damage.” However, KSI was swift in dismissing Paul’s performance. He tweeted: “That Jake Paul performance was terrible. October 14th you get to watch a real fight and challenge.” KSI’s upcoming bout with Tommy Fury, the undefeated British professional boxer, promises to be yet another exciting match-up. This remark by KSI appears to stoke the already heated rivalry between him and Jake Paul. KSI had previously faced Jake’s elder brother, Logan Paul, in two high-profile fights. Jake Paul had predicted a harsh outcome for KSI in his upcoming fight, stating in an earlier interview that KSI would be “knocked out cold” by Fury within five rounds. Jake himself had faced Fury in a heated eight-round battle in Saudi Arabia, which saw Fury securing a split-decision victory. However, KSI has shown confidence in his upcoming bout. In a recent Instagram post, he stated, “October 14, I’m doing what Jake Paul couldn’t and beating Tommy Fury on the biggest night in crossover boxing history.” The boxing match will take place under the Misfits Boxing label, a promotion started by KSI himself, and will be broadcast live on DAZN pay-per-view. Meanwhile, Jake Paul continues his boxing trajectory, with his recent victory over Diaz marking another step in his transition from YouTube sensation to professional boxer.

KSI slams “delusional” Jake Paul for trying to be boxing world champ KSIYouTube star KSI has hit out at his rival Jake Paul, calling him “beyond delusional” for believing he’ll someday become a boxing World Champion. With Jake Paul redeeming himself after his loss to Tommy Fury, taking the win over Nate Diaz by unanimous decision on August 5, the interest for him to touch gloves with KSI is at a high once again. Since the bout with Diaz, the YouTube star has gone back and forth on Twitter with his rival, who claimed he’s “beyond delusional” for thinking he’ll become a boxing World Champion in the future. In an August 6 tweet, Jake claimed that despite his unusual boxing journey so far, he’ll still end up as a Champion by 2026. “Facts. All great fighters. My path may be different but the destination is going to be the same,” he wrote. World champion by 2026.” In response, KSI put ‘The Problem Child’ on blast, slamming him as delusional before listing several reasons why he’ll never achieve his ultimate goal. “You’re beyond delusional,” he said. “1. You’ve never beaten a pro boxer in your ‘boxing career’. 2. You wanna fight Nate Diaz in a MMA fight but wanna be a world champion in boxing? 3. You couldn’t even KO a 40 year old ju-jitsu black belt that was more interested in talking to the audience than fighting. He added: “4. You’re terrified that I’m gonna destroy your legacy by beating Tommy Fury.” Jake Paul then hit back, noting how KSI’s fights are exhibition bouts, meanwhile, claiming he’s helping the sport while his rival is tarnishing it. “You are an exhibition fighter doing exhibition events. Need my brother to make you relevant. I love boxing, you love your ego. I’m helping the sport, you are degrading the sport. Don’t ever confuse the two. And for the record I would f**k you up in boxing or mma. Easy easy easy work. KSI is set to step in the ring with Tommy Fury on October 14 to do “what Jake Paul couldn’t” — where afterward he says Paul and Fury can rematch to decide who faces him as the “final boss.” “When I beat Tommy, you and him can rematch to fight me. I’m the final boss. That’s how this all plays out,” he replied to Jake.

KSI slams “fraud” Adam Saleh for allegedly rigging boxing match against MMA fighter YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Adam Saleh VlogsYouTube star KSI has officially hopped on the bandwagon of ranking influencer boxers — and when it came to Adam Saleh, the British content creator had a decidedly negative opinion. KSI is one of the key YouTubers who helped pioneer the current hot trend of influencer boxing. After facing off with Joe Weller in 2018 — a match he won — KSI went on to box Logan Paul, sparking a craze that resulted in the Battle of the Platforms last month. As such, it stands to reason that KSI is an authority on the subject. Thus, he took it upon himself to rank the now-bursting category of social media stars-turned-boxers after FaZe Jarvis uploaded his own tier list a few days prior. KSI’s video was fairly even-handed, if a bit humorous, with the YouTuber even going so far as to place rival Jake Paul in ‘God-Tier’ — but when Adam Saleh’s turn came around, KSI learned some surprising information. In March 2021, Saleh’s ex-manager, Naz, alleged in a live broadcast that Saleh had purportedly fixed his boxing match against MMA fighter Marcus Stephenson in 2019. “The truth of the matter is, bro, you lied to everybody,” Naz said. “You paid Marcus off. You didn’t even fight. What a sick b****d, bruv. What a sick f**k. And then you take a picture with your dad with the belt? And you say, ‘I’ve bought my dad everything.’” After bringing up the video, KSI appeared genuinely shocked, and immediately moved Saleh from ‘Decent’ tier to ‘Should Retire’ tier. “I thought it looked weird!” KSI said after reviewing the match footage. “This whole fight looked so weird. He’s not even trying to knock him out!” “Aw, nah, mate, Adam Saleh, you’re a f**king fraud,” he continued. “Get out. Right back down to ‘Should Retire and Never Enter a Ring Ever Again.’ You f**king fraud! Oh my god, Jesus Christ! I heard about it, but I didn’t think it was f**king true!” (Topic begins at 5:41) It’s safe to say that KSI is not impressed with Saleh’s purported match-fixing, and many commenters are now itching for his response after KSI brought up the allegations.

KSI slams complaints over new opponent after Dillon Danis exit YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI is hitting back at complaints from fans and fellow creators about his new opponent, FaZe Temperrr, after Dillon Danis pulled out of their match at the last minute. KSI was initially slated to face off against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis on January 14 — but just a week out from fight night, Danis pulled out of the bout unexpectedly. For now, it’s still unclear why Danis suddenly exited their match, but it’s not the first time this has happened to KSI since his return to the boxing ring last year. In August 2022, the British YouTube star was scheduled to face off with American influencer Alex Wassabi, but a sparring injury prevented him from making good on their contract. As a result, KSI was forced to find a replacement — but he went above and beyond, taking on two different fighters in the same night. While it doesn’t look like his January 14 bout will be as bombastic of a feat, he did manage to find another opponent in quick time, settling on FaZe Temperrr as his replacement. Despite Temperrr’s experience in the boxing ring (having fought in three matches with a 2-1 record), some fans and even fellow influencers aren’t too happy with the situation. Most notably, YouTuber Slim Alhaber called out KSI on Twitter, saying he “deserved” the fight over Temperrr as he’d actually beaten Temperrr on the undercard of KSI’s ‘Two Fights, One Night’ event in 2022. Fans all across social media have also been vocal in expressing their displeasure in this decision — but KSI is adamant that Temperrr will make a better pick than Danis. “Let’s not get it twisted. Temperrr is better than Dillon Danis. He’s a better opponent. So it’s not like I’m coming here saying, ‘Oh, I’m fighting someone worse.’ I’m fighting someone who is better in the ring and will be a big threat to me.” (Topic begins at 5:00) KSI’s words have a ring of truth to them; Temperrr does have the height advantage over KSI, as well as a longer reach, meaning that this could be a challenging matchup for the YouTuber. KSI blasts “scum” Dillon Danis for pulling out of boxing match That’s not all — KSI also blasted Dillon Danis for pulling out of their match at the last second, calling the fighter the “scum of the earth.” “With Danis, there was literally no excuse. His excuse was, ‘Nah.’ Got all the press, got all the clout, everything. Said he was gonna destroy me, beat me up. Dashed coffee in my face. Pissed me off to the highest degree and just peaced out and said nah, I actually don’t want to fight you. I’m scared.” “He’s the scum of the earth, man. He should never enter any comeback sports ever again.” For now, it’s looking like KSI and Temperrr are busy gearing up for their upcoming bout, which comes just after Jake Paul announced his unexpected foray into MMA.

KSI slams Deji’s ex-girlfriend Dunjahh over “embarrassing” racist comments YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Instagram: dounjaxYouTube star KSI came after his little bro’s ex-girlfriend, Dunjahh, after she made racist comments on a live broadcast that quickly went viral. In late January, the now ex-girlfriend of YouTuber Deji Olatunji went viral after her comments on a live Twitch broadcast sparked major backlash online. The stream saw Dounja ‘Dunjahh’ Akoudad engaging in conversation with several other broadcasters, one being streamer WesleyTW, who accused her of having a “fat-a*s nose.” Akoudad then made a racist remark toward Wesley, saying: “Fat-a*s nose? You’re Black. You’re literally Black. What are you talking about, fat-a*s nose?” before bursting into laughter. The clip quickly took the net by storm, sparking outrage against Akoudad for her comments. Deji later uploaded a video discussing the subject, clarifying that he and Akoudad had actually broken up well over a month before her inflammatory words prompted backlash across social media. Deji’s older brother, YouTube star KSI, weighed in on the situation several days later — and it’s safe to say that he wasn’t pleased with the ordeal. KSI lashes out at Deji’s ex-girlfriend over racist comments KSI lashed out at Akoudad during a Reddit reaction video, laying into the streamer for her comments. “I look at the way she’s smiling like she did something,” KSI began. “Don’t even get me started. Out of order bro, she’s out of order.” However, his take on the situation soon became more impassioned. “Bro, she’s laughing like she did something!” he exclaimed. “Who are you? Who are you? No one would know about you if you weren’t dating my brother! How could you say that? Why are you insinuating that that’s an insult?” “You dated my bro, and he was Black!” he continued. “What are you doing? This is embarrassing!” (Topic begins at 9:17) Akoudad has made a statement regarding the matter, claiming that she “said a terrible stereotypical remark which came across as very racist.” “I never intended to be racist, but that doesn’t mean that certain things can’t come across as racist,” she added. https://twitter.com/Dunjahh/status/1486672065650376705?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1486672065650376705twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentdejis-girlfriend-accused-of-making-racist-remarks-in-twitch-stream-1749641 As for Deji, the YouTuber has made it clear that he is done discussing the situation and is turning his focus fully on his upcoming boxing match against Alex Wassabi.

KSI slammed online for backing Logan Paul amid CryptoZoo refund scandal CryptoZoo NFT asset / YouTube: KSIKSI has landed himself in hot water after backing his business partner, Logan Paul amid backlash surrounding CryptoZoo’s buyback program. After an ongoing online investigation by YouTuber ‘Coffeezilla‘, Logan Paul has announced a buyback program for fans who invested in his failed crypto-coin-based game, CryptoZoo. With the project labeled online as a “scam” that took advantage of and stole millions from Paul’s own fanbase, the American influencer has now launched a website to refund NFT buyers. However, Coffeezilla has since pointed out his own issues with the program, calling it a “massive con”. Now, business partner and co-founder of Prime, KSI has come under fire for publicly backing Paul following the launch of his buyback program. Tweeting “What will the haters say now?”, KSI was met with a wave of scrutiny, but he chose to double down with an extended post on X (formerly Twitter). “I feel like Logan is doing the best he possibly can to help those who have been affected by this project,” KSI wrote, claiming that people were “forgetting” Paul’s other more successful projects. “Call me a d***ider/d***eater all you like, but I’m always gonna wanna back my friends and give them the benefit of the doubt.” Community notes quickly pointed out that “Logan Paul’s buyback only accounts for 12% of damages ($2.3M out of $18.5M of sales)” and that “Accepting the refund will waive your rights to sue Paul or CryptoZoo,” as thousands jumped to call out KSI in the comments. “I don’t think covering as little as you can and locking a refund behind a waiver is ‘the best he can do’,” one person wrote, encouraging KSI to look into Paul’s other crypto endorsements such as Dink Doink to see the extent of the influencer’s “scummy” NFT track record. “I know he’s your boy but come on now.” “This tweet does nothing good for you, bro. Logan [is] still a scum bag for the CryptoZoo scandal and you could’ve just left his tweet as that and [been] glad that this stain on your business partner’s reputation is starting to be clean,” another said. A third wrote, “It’s time we [collectively] decide to take the ‘knowledge’ out of ‘KSI’… I decree from this day forth you shall be known as ‘SI.’” Many have also accused KSI of supporting Paul only due to their ongoing business and shared investment in Prime; “You have a financial [incentive] to ensure Logan isn’t seen as an a**hole.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

KSI slams “annoying” DAZN for picking up Kingpyn boxing tournament Twitter: DAZN / YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI shaded DAZN for their acquisition of Kingpyn after the promotion’s “high-stakes” tournament got canceled due to purported bankruptcy, calling the situation “annoying.” The influencer-boxing scene is more robust than ever, with oodles of high-profile content creators hoping to test their mettle in the boxing ring. However, some of these influencer-boxing events can run into trouble from time to time, with the most recent instance of this happening to Kingpyn. The promotion promised a “high stakes” tournament with influencer-boxers starting in April. The tournament would then have a semi-final taking place in early July — but this card was ultimately scrapped when sources close to the company revealed it had filed for bankruptcy, as per Happy Punch Boxing. This fact was not lost on KSI, who’d previously speculated that Kingpyn was going under weeks before their purported bankruptcy was made known. He openly laughed at the ordeal… but he wouldn’t be chuckling for long. KSI reacts to DAZN acquiring Kingpyn after reported bankruptcy: “Annoying” On July 7, it was revealed that Kingpyn’s boxing tournament had been acquired by DAZN, which will be streaming the semi-final on July 15. According to KSI, he had no idea about this acquisition — something that comes as a bit of a surprise to fans, as his own Misfits Boxing signed a five-year deal with the combat sports streaming platform earlier in 2023. KSI spoke out about the situation in a July 10 YouTube video, where he called the ordeal “annoying” and said he’d only found out about DAZN’s move via Twitter. “Pretty sh*tty way to find out, on Twitter,” KSI admitted. “But, it is what it is. Fair play, Kingpyn. You live another day. Misfits is still number one, but yeah, it’s a bit annoying.” (Topic begins at 12:25) It’s clear that there’s still some bad blood brewing between KSI and Kingpyn… but for now, they’re streaming under the same banner. As for KSI, his highly-anticipated bout with Tommy Fury looks more likely than ever after the YouTuber agreed to his rival’s preferred weight — on one condition.

KSI shuts down Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury as next fight opponents YouTube: IFL TVKSI has shut down the possibility of fighting Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury in his next event despite challenging both of them after his recent matches against Swarmz and Pineda. Over the last few years, Influencer boxing has taken over the scene with a wide variety of events. KSI has been at the forefront of the industry lately, having recently dominated two fights on the same night on August 27. During the event, he challenged Tommy Fury and Andrew Tate to be his next opponents, but now he’s explained why they can’t happen for the next event. KSI shuts down Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury as next opponents On September 14, KSI posted a poll on Twitter asking fans who they want to see him fight during his next event in January. The poll lists Tyron Woodley, Dillon Danis, Slim Albaher, and Dr Mike. Noticeably missing from the list is Tommy Fury and Andrew Tate. In a second tweet, KSI explained why they weren’t included. He said: “Tommy Fury can’t fight in America (That’s where the next event is), and Andrew Tate is too heavy for me.” In the second tweet, KSI also mentions that the event in January will take place in the US. Back in August, JiDion called out Joe Weller for a boxing match on KSI’s next undercard, prompting Logan Paul to mention that he would join if he could go against Dillon Danis. Details about the event past those interactions are sparse, so but it sounds like we’ll be hearing more information about the upcoming event sooner than later.

KSI shuts down Jake Paul’s $30M fight offer as rivals clash again DexertoYouTube star KSI has shut down Jake Paul’s offer for a winner take all fight worth $30 million, claiming that his longtime rival still hasn’t paid Tommy Fury yet. Over the last few years, as they’ve bought continued their exploration into the world of boxing, KSI and Jake Paul have toyed with the idea of fighting each other. The longtime rivals had seemingly been on a collision course after they beat Logan Paul and Deji, respectively, but that hasn’t been the case. Talk has reignited following Jake’s loss to Tommy Fury at the end of February, with KSI seeing it as a potential way to round off his boxing career. While the Brit has signed to fight Joe Fournier on the Misfits 007 card, he has been trading words with Jake once again – with ‘The Problem Child’ offering ‘The Nighmare’ another winner takes all fight. KSI rejects Jake Paul’s offer for $30m winner takes all fight It all kicked off again on march 23, with KSI declaring that he’d be the “pound-for-pound best YouTube boxer” if he beats Fournier on May 13. That, naturally, caught Jake’s attention, with them going back and forth with some trash talk. Eventually, Jake threw down the gauntlet for a fight. “$30M to the winner, 0 to the loser if you want me to agree to your request of 180 pounds and rehydration clause. Agree to that and I’m in. You just supposedly bet £10M so this should be easy to contract right?” he tweeted. However, while he had previously accepted a winner takes all fight with Jake, KSI shut that idea down. “Ain’t no way I’m doing this deal cos you still ain’t paid up for your last deal with Tommy Fury after he slapped you up,” KSI responded. As noted, the pair had stated that they’d do a winner takes all fight at Wembley at some point in 2023, but that idea seemingly went up in smoke once Jake lost his undefeated record. It remains to be seen if they’ll ever touch gloves and fight, but fans are still hopeful.

KSI shows how he “fell out of the sky” in music video with Rick Ross YouTube star KSI may be known for his infamous beef with rival Logan Paul, but there’s more to the Brit than his boxing career, thanks to his hustle in the music industry. Before their boxing rematch on November 9, KSI dropped his latest track “Down Like That,” featuring such names as Rick Ross, S-X, and Lil Baby. Rick Ross and S-X performed the song in the ring during KSI’s walkout at the rematch, providing the ultimate flex on Logan Paul – but that wasn’t the end of the song’s lifetime, by far. KSI later uploaded a music video for the track on November 22, which showed the YouTuber falling from the sky, as seen in the song’s cover art in a shocking special effect. The eldest Olajidebt brother explained the visual during a special behind-the-scenes segment uploaded on November 26, which showed the “movie magic” behind the falling sequence. The YouTuber was strung up on wires in front of a blue screen and an oscillating fan, where the sequence was filmed and dropped down on a mat for his dramatic “crash” into the pavement. While impressive, he admitted that the scene was a killer core workout, as he had to balance himself while upside down on the ropes throughout the sequence. “We just finished filming the hanging scene,” KSI said in the video, laughing. “It f***ing sucked. Core exercise a few days after a fight. Probably not the best thing, but yo, you know what we do. Gotta make sure everything’s on point!” KSI’s “Down Like That” has already achieved massive success, garnering over 11 million views on YouTube and even gaining a potential spot in the Top 10 of the official UK music charts. Official UK Chart Update: @KSIOlajidebt’s Down Like That ft. @RickRoss, @lilbaby4PF & @producersx could become a Top 10 single this Friday! https://t.co/Z38YFA9De2 pic.twitter.com/cDMSHszNaZ — Official Charts (@officialcharts) November 26, 2019 This wouldn’t be the first time he’s tampered in special effects, either: in fact, the YouTuber was part of a similar getup in a video in September 2018, where he was lifted inside the sprawling staircase in his home. With “Down Like That” performing well, there’s no telling where KSI’s music career will take him, boasting an already impressive list of songs, including tracks like “Beerus” and “Real Name.”

KSI shuts down Alex Wassabi fight rearrangement: “You’ve lost your chance” YouTube: KSI/Alex WassabiYouTube star KSI says Alex Wassabi has “lost” his chance at fighting on a big stage after backing out of their fight with a concussion that was picked up during training. When KSI defeated Logan Paul back in 2019, many suspected that the British YouTube star would be inside the boxing ring a bit more regularly than he has been. After a three-year hiatus, the Brit revealed that he’d finally be stepping back into the ring in August to fight Alex Wassabi, however, the American content creator has had to pull out after sustaining a concussion. Now, KSI will fight Swarmz in place of Wassabi despite plenty of calls for him and Jake Paul to link up for a clash, and it doesn’t look like Alex will get the big fight later down the line. KSI pours cold water on Alex Wassabi fight rescheduling After going through some rather public negotations to fight Jake next year, KSI turned his attention back to Alex by saying he’d be willing to spar him at some point. “You can film it because I definitely will, and watch me obliterate you,” he tweeted. Alex fired back by questioning if KSI’s post was “meant to be intimidating” and stating that the pair will “ruin it back” on a big stage at some point. Though, his British counterpart disagreed with that. “Ain’t no big stage for you mate. You’ve lost your chance lol,” KSI tweeted on August 9. “Recover from your “concussion” real quick so I can spar you for a 30-second YouTube short.” With a superfight between KSI and Jake in the offing, Alex will have to take a backseat somewhat and likely wait for the fallout of that fight to settle. Who knows whether or not he and KSI will now ever touch gloves inside a ring, but this is boxing after all, and anything can happen. So, never say never.

KSI shocked after grocery store stops “young people” from buying PRIME YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Twitter: prime_tracker / Instagram: drinkprimeYouTube star KSI was left flabbergasted after an ASDA location barred unattended “young people” from buying PRIME Hydration after 7:30 PM. PRIME Hydration is a sports hydration beverage created by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, which they officially launched in January 2022. Since its release, the drink has been a smashing success, selling out in stores across America and the UK — but British fans have been having an especially hard time getting their hands on the influencer-famous bev lately. Recently, KSI spoke out on the low supply of Prime available in stores across the pond, appearing to accuse store employees of selling the drink on the “black market” rather than stocking shelves. Right now, the only place fans can get PRIME in the UK is ASDA… but one particular ASDA location isn’t exactly friendly to fans looking to get their hands on a bottle or two. ASDA location bans “young people” from store amid PRIME Hydration craze On October 20, the runner of the Prime Tracker Twitter account shared a photo of a notice on an ASDA storefront, which barred “young people” from purchasing PRIME past 7:30 PM and claimed all PRIME restocks would happen in the morning hours. “PRIME will no longer arrive in the night delivery,” the notice reads. “Any stock will be replenished after 9 AM. Young people without a parent / guardian will be refused entry to the store after 7:30 PM.” KSI was notified of the sign and reposted the photo in a quote tweet, appearing thoroughly flummoxed as to how this ban could have come about. “What have you lot done lol?” he asked. “Someone define ‘young people’ please.” This isn’t the first time a UK establishment has placed restrictions around PRIME; in September, a school notably banned the drink from campus, saying the drink “will be confiscated if found or seen, and you will be sanctioned with a -3.” For now, it’s looking like UK fans will have to hold out a little longer until PRIME is more widely available — something KSI promised would happen soon.

KSI shoves Joe Fournier after heated face-off ahead of May 13 match YouTube: Misfits BoxingYouTube star KSI shoved boxing opponent Joe Fournier after the two had a heated face-off two days ahead of their highly-anticipated fight on May 13. YouTuber, rapper, and businessman KSI is making 2023 his last year of boxing, as he claims he plans to retire from the sport after taking four fights this year. After defeating FaZe Temperrr by knockout in January, KSI is now slated to touch gloves with longtime rival Joe Fournier, a businessman and professional boxer with whom he’s been beefing for quite some time now. It’s no secret that the two can’t wait to knock each other’s blocks off — and that almost happened before fight night. KSI shoves Joe Fournier as fight-night anticipation ramps up The two met up for a live-streamed press conference on May 11, where they exchanged some trash-talk and KSI even threw wads of $1 bills at his opponent in an attempt to rile him up. However, things didn’t get heated until the two got together for a face-off after the press’s questions were over and done. At first, it was your usual nose-to-nose face-off; the two could be seen engaging in a heated conversation before literally butting heads and getting pried away from each other by their security details. After settling down, the rivals returned to center stage for another photo opp, where KSI gave his opponent a rough shove, sending him flying to the side. This altercation raised some eyebrows from fans online, only heightening the anticipation leading up to their fight on May 13. This will mark KSI’s second bout of the year. He plans to take two more fights in 2023; one against the winner of the ongoing Kingpyn tournament, and another against either Jake Paul or Tommy Fury. KSI’s heated altercation with Fournier wasn’t the only brawl going down at the press conference, either, as OnlyFans stars Astrid Wett and Alexia Grace also got into a scuffle that has led some fans to believe a boxing match between the two women is on the way.

KSI shares update on Jake Paul boxing match and it’s bad news for fight fans Instagram/JakePaul/KSIYouTuber KSI has shared some unfortunate news on his highly-anticipated boxing match against Jake Paul despite the two agreeing to fight in 2023. The rivalry between Jake Paul and KSI has become legendary with fans of both influencers-turned-boxers anxiously waiting for the two to step into the ring once and for all. With the two agreeing to fight in 2023, it seemed like the fight was locked in for next year, but recent comments from KSI have ended those rumblings. Speaking at a press conference ahead of his upcoming match against Dillon Danis, the rapper spoke about fighting Jake Paul and vowed that The Problem Child match will happen, just not anytime soon. KSI wants Jake Paul fight to be his last According to the British YouTuber, he’s been enjoying the progress he’s made with weight loss and his physical evolution, but doesn’t want the journey to end with a match against Jake Paul. “It’s breaking the next person and the next person and eventually getting to Jake Paul and destroying everything that he’s built,” KSI said. “I think it’s going to be fantastic… I could fight Jake middle of next year if I wanted to, I was definitely offered to, but I said ‘nah’ because I’m enjoying this too much.” The rapper further explained that he never thought he’d be able to run 5K in under 20 minutes and now he can breeze through it, because of all the training he’s done. “To know that I could just go further beyond, I think it’s just sick and I don’t really want to end it so quick because I know once I fight Jake it’s done,” he added. “I’ve no interest to do anything else boxing-wise, so I don’t know why I’d want to end it so quickly, I’m just enjoying the journey too much.” So far, Jake Paul hasn’t responded to this news, but for anyone expecting a bout between the two top dogs in influencer boxing, it seems like you’re going to need to wait quite a bit for the epic showdown.

KSI reveals reason behind shock YouTube ban: “I crossed a line…” YouTube: JJ OlatunjiBritish YouTube star KSI is not known for slacking on his regular uploads, but fans were confused when the influencer revealed he’d been prevented from releasing content — an anomaly that he has now explained. KSI is a prominent internet personality and music artist. Having released original songs alongside names like Rick Ross and Lil Baby, as well as being part of massively popular YouTube group The Sidemen, KSI has managed to amass quite a following across multiple online platforms. While his musical career is nothing to sniff at, KSI has never neglected his YouTube roots, and uploads several times a week on his secondary channel. Many of these videos are “try not to laugh” challenges or “reaction videos,” where KSI will react to memes and news posted to his public Reddit page. It was in one of these “try not to laugh” videos that KSI included some content that YouTube deemed inappropriate, as told by the star in a March 3 upload after being banned from posting for a full week. It was one of the try not to laugh videos. One of the clips was against community guidelines unfortunately. Ah well — ksi (@KSI) February 20, 2021 After seven days of inactivity, KSI returned to YouTube with two prior uploads before explaining the matter, stating that his “Try not to laugh: Indian Edition” video had included an alleged instance of “child endangerment.” “So, one of my videos — a ‘try not to laugh,’ the Indian edition — had, uh, ‘child endangerment,’” he explained. “I think that’s a new thing in the YouTube TOS, but basically, I crossed that line, and they said naw ****, get outta here!” “So I got banished for a week, but I’m back! I’m back, and I now no, no child can be endangered, okay!” he laughed. “So guys, we’re doing a Reddit video, please — can we not have any child being endangered on my Reddit.” Thus far, it seems like his fanbase is taking the surprising ban in stride, making jokes all the while — especially after he showed a meme of Jake Paul crying. For now, it seems that he’s been made well aware of YouTube’s terms, and will hopefully avoid any future bans for similar reasons.

KSI shares hilarious reaction to Deji ending their feud KSI, Deji – YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and his younger brother, Deji, became engaged in a bitter feud after Deji leaked KSI’s bank records for a diss track in late November. However, Deji has since called for an end to their beef – and KSI had a hilarious reaction to the truce. KSI uploaded a video on January 6, where he responded to his brother’s video calling him out for laughing at controversial YouTuber Logan Paul – as well as alleging that KSI had been “shitting on him for years.” KSI took issue with Deji’s claims, referencing a number of instances where he came to his brother’s defense. KSI likewise found irony in Deji’s statement that he had “moved on” from their fight, noting that Deji had created a total of 12 videos discussing their dispute. “You’re playing the victim card,” KSI laughed. “…when I told you to move on, you didn’t. You made a diss track on me. …but, no, ladies and gentlemen, I am the delusional one.” KSI likewise reiterated that he would make amends, should Deji delete his diss track towards him. Near the end of his video, KSI returned to his computer, noting that Deji had, indeed, deleted his ‘Unforgivable’ single – which KSI celebrated with a humorous dance. Deji uploaded an apology video a few hours ahead of KSI’s video, where he admitted that he, himself, was in the wrong, and explained his reasoning behind the argument. Deji went on to delete his diss track in front of the camera for his audience to see, thus squashing their month-long beef.

KSI shares hilarious reaction to his movie’s terrible rating on IMDB KSI, YouTube / Universal StudiosPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji uploaded a ‘Roast Me’ video on January 9, where one Reddit commenter pointed out the low rating of his 2016 film, ‘Laid in America.’ KSI appeared to be taken aback by the information and took to Google to confirm the commenter’s claim, who alleged that his movie had a lower rating than 2007’s CGI ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ flick. “Fuck off, is that true?” KSI asked, going on to note that the ‘Chipmunks’ scored a 5.2 out of 10 on film database site IMDB. In comparison, KSI’s ‘Laid in America’ only received a 4.6 out of 10 on the site – much to his disappointment. “Fuck, man,” KSI laughed. “Okay, yeah, that’s an L.” That wasn’t the end of the roasting; yet another commenter noted that ‘Laid in America’ had a lower score than 2017 animated film ‘The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature,’ which scored a 5.4. “How is that on a 5.4?” KSI asked incredulously. “Yo, on the real, who the fuck is giving ‘Laid in America’ such a bad rating? It’s not that bad of a movie, man!” KSI’s ‘roast me’ video follows the end of a month-long feud with his little brother, Deji, which came to a conclusion after Deji uploaded an apology video on January 6 and deleted his ‘Unforgivable’ diss track. However, KSI noted that Deji had simply unlisted the video, rather than actually deleting it, with Deji only removing the track from YouTube after KSI texted him about the matter.

KSI shades Jake Paul in viral TikTok over hit Lil Wayne collaboration Instagram: Jake Paul, KSIBritish YouTuber, rapper, professional boxer KSI shaded YouTuber Jake Paul in a viral TikTok about his collaboration with Lil Wayne on a song. Paul, who has feuded with KSI, had previously said Wayne was an idol of his. The TikTok video, posted on August 9, has already had over 3.2 million likes and 14.6 million views. KSI captioned the video “LMAO” and commented “Gotcha idol” below. The video starts with an Instagram post of Jake Paul where Paul is listing his accomplishments. These range from “face-timed Donald Trump” to Justin Bieber “performed at my fight.” The list also includes “brought my idol Lil Wayne on stage.” Paul is doing a “sheesh” post next to the board before the video switches to clips from the YouTube video for the song collaboration “Lose” featuring both KSI and Wayne. The video then switches back to KSI copying Paul’s “sheesh pose”. The caption reads “me knowing Jake Paul will never make a song with his idol.” While smiling, KSI then asked Paul “got any more idols mate?” KSI released ‘Lose’ with Wayne on August 6. The music video already has more than five million views. At the time of release, KSI said ““If you told me 10 years ago that this was gonna happen, I would have laughed in your face and blocked you from my contacts. He went onto say “but here we are, it’s a reality. Me and Lil Wayne have come together on a track no one will expect.” Click here if the video doesn’t load Jake Paul and KSI’s beef explained Paul and KSI have been beefing for some time. KSI previously fought Paul’s brother Logan on two occasions and Jake accused KSI of using excuses to not fight Paul. In a tweet, Paul described KSI as “a b**ch” and later claimed that he was done seeking a fight with the British rapper. KSI later insisted that he wanted to fight the YouTuber saying “I want to fight Jake.” He went on to say, “don’t get it twisted. When I saw he knocked out Ben Askren, I got angry. There’s a part inside of me that feels like I need to f**k him up to show how much of a fraud he is. He insisted to fans that they should “best believe when we get in that ring, I’m knocking him out.” KSI has recently been focusing more on his musical career that has seen significant success in 2021. The album debuted at number 1 in the UK and in the top 100 of the Billboard 200. “Lose” has entered the top 10 of the US Itunes Chart.

KSI shares emotional reaction after album “All Over The Place” debuts at #1 YouTube: KSIYouTube star and music artist KSI is beaming after his new album, “All Over The Place,” has debuted at #1 on the UK’s Official Charts. KSI is more than a YouTuber — he’s also a professional boxer and a highly successful music artist, having scored features with the likes of Rick Ross, Lil Baby and Waka Flocka Flame. From ‘Down Like That’ to ‘Real Name,’ KSI has proven he’s a force to be reckoned with in the music biz… and his latest achievement is a testament to his prowess in the industry. On July 23, it was reported that KSI’s latest album, ‘All Over the Place,’ debuted at #1 on the UK’s Official Charts, with four songs from the album scoring in this week’s Top 40. “”Your boy did it!”” @KSI’s All Over The Place debuts at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart 🏆 https://t.co/rYUilb6F2c — Official Charts (@officialcharts) July 23, 2021 In response to this eyebrow-raising victory, KSI uploaded an emotional video to Twitter, where he thanked his fans and his team while showing off his shiny new trophy. “Yo! Ya boy did it!” a beaming KSI shouted. “Finally got number one! Number one album. Mad. Thank you to everyone who supported. Shout out to all the fans and all the supporters. Legit, I wouldn’t be here without you. I wouldn’t have this without you.” “It’s crazy,” he continued. “I’ve been doing music for so long, and to finally get this is crazy! It’s amazing. Thank you guys so much. …number one. I never thought I would get one of these. Legit. Like, I have no right! I’m a YouTuber!” YouTuber he may be, but KSI is certainly more than that, as his illustrious music career has shown. Alongside AOTP getting number one as a whole, tracks No Time ft. Lil Durk, Don’t Play ft. Anne-Marie & Digital Farm Animals, and Gang Gang ft. Jay1 & Deno scored at 24, 33, and 40th place, respectively. Following the release of All Over The Place, @KSI lands four tracks in this week’s Top 40 – including two brand new entries https://t.co/aLm2eSRMY7 pic.twitter.com/IZpuMobJnN — Official Charts (@officialcharts) July 23, 2021 While KSI’s music success is booming, he’s promised to get back in the boxing ring once it all calms down… although, considering his big lineup of potential opponents, there’s no telling who he might face off with first.

KSI tries to dig up stories about Deji ahead of response to abuse accusations YouTube : KSI / DEJIJJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has confirmed that he intends to respond to the YouTube video released by Deji, and has asked people who have contacted and are willing to share stories about his brother to get in touch with him. The beef between the Olatunji brothers – which has been on and off for years now – reared its head again on May 25 when Deji released a video accusing KSI of mental and physical abuse over a number of years. While KSI initially stated he had no intention of replying to his brother and his claims, it appears that after watching the full 45-minute video, he has changed his mind. 600Posting on Twitter on May 28, KSI stated that he had finally gotten around to watching the full video from Deji and that while he was currently on his ‘New Age’ music tour, he intended to respond to the accusations from his brother. “[Alright], fuck this. I’m replying,” wrote the YouTube star. In a follow-up tweet, he added: “Time to end this once and for all, I guess.” Interestingly, it appears as if KSI is doing more than replying to the allegations made by Deji, and in a now-deleted tweet asked for anyone who has “ever been in contact with my [brother] and has a story to tell” to message him with details. KSI’s decision to reply to his brother comes just days after he claimed he would not be issue any kind of response to Deji, using the ‘laughing face emoji’ and referencing the YouTube drama between James Charles and Tati Westbrook, writing: “Imagine making a Tati V2 video and thinking I’m going to reply?” Since the release of Deji’s video, KSI has started to lose subscribers as thousands of fans show their support for him, although KSI has stated that he doesn’t care. There is currently no information as to when we can expect a response from KSI, but it seems likely that it will be released in the next few days, judging by his tweets.

KSI sets fight date for Jake Paul or Tommy Fury clash as he wants to retire this year YouTube: LADbible TVYouTube star KSI has set a date for when he’ll fight either Jake Paul or Tommy Fury, as he plans to say goodbye to boxing before the end of 2023. When influencer boxing first took out, KSI was one of the YouTubers that led the charge with fights against Joe Weller and Logan Paul helping to break new ground for content creators. The British superstar had taken a lengthy break from fighting, but returned in 2022 and has since defeated Swarmz, Luis Pineda, and FaZe Temperrr to bolster his record. Despite Jake’s loss to Tommy Fury, fans are still eager to see the two YouTube stars fight and settle their longtime beef. Well, it appears as if Jake will have to get on a move on – and defeat Tommy Fury in their rumored rematch – as KSI is already looking at hanging up the gloves and making a return to making music. KSI sets out boxing retirement plan as he eyes three more fights That’s right, KSI is already planning to bid farewell to boxing – for good, this time – as he’s got a plan in mind for his final few fights. The YouTuber and PRIME Hydration boss will fight on May 13 on the Misfits 007 card, and then wants to fight again on August 26 against the winner of the Kingpyn Tournament. After that, he’s eyeing up December 16 as the day he fights either Jake Paul or Tommy Fury, and then he’ll bow out. “Retire and go back to music. Sounds like a good plan to me,” he tweeted on March 13. As it stands, KSI is seemingly set to fight Joe Fournier on that Misfits 007 card, and would likely end up fighting AnEsonGib from the Kingpyn event. Though, it is a short turnaround time on that front. Given how comfortable Tommy’s win was against Jake in their last fight, it could throw the plans to fight Jake into turmoil, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Though, it appears we won’t see KSI in the boxing ring come 2024.

KSI sends warning to Jake Paul ahead of AnEsonGib fight KSIOlajidebt2, Jake Paul – YouTubeYouTube star-turned-boxer KSI may have won his 2019 rematch with “The Maverick,” but that isn’t the end of his rivalry with the Paul brothers, thanks to a newfound grudge with Team 10 founder Jake Paul. Jake is set to face off with British YouTuber AnEsonGib on Thursday, January 30 in their debut as professional boxers. However, Gib isn’t Paul’s final celebrity opponent, with Jake calling his upcoming fight nothing more than a mere “doormat” on his way to his real goal — KSI. While KSI initially brushed off his first attempts at a potential bout, it seems that his tune has since changed, with the Sidemen member ultimately agreeing to a fight with the American YouTuber, should he take the win over Gib. Read More: Why is Dua Lipa being “canceled” on Twitter? – It’s looking like their potential grudge match is turning into the real deal, too, thanks to a pointed warning KSI sent to Jake Paul via Twitter on January 28 that was captioned, “F**k Jake Paul. End his career AnEsonGib.” In his video post, KSI squared off with a typical boxing arcade game, the speed bag of which had been painted with Jake Paul’s face. “F**k Jake Paul!” KSI shouted before giving the bag a solid punch, which tallied up to a score above 907. The camera then panned to KSI comically dancing to She Wes’s “Mo Bamba.” Despite its humor, the customized threat sent a serious message to the youngest Paul brother — that KSI is more than ready to throw down if “Big Gibber” falls in the ring. While Jake has yet to respond to KSI’s latest taunt, it comes as little surprise that he’s challenging YouTube’s biggest boxing champ, hoping to avenge his older brother’s loss by a two-point deduction in the fourth round of their November 9 rematch. Although Logan appealed the decision, his request was ultimately denied, which he gracefully admitted in a video on the topic shortly thereafter. Thanks to Jake’s highly-publicized challenge, it looks like the grudge between KSI and the Pauls isn’t over, just yet — although the actual possibility of a bout between the two depends on the outcome of the January 30 fight.

KSI sent crashing through table by Logan Paul in WWE debut WWEKSI and Logan Paul teamed up to put on a show for fans, resulting in the British YouTube star getting frog splashed through a table at WrestleMania 39. After making his WWE debut with a tag-team match in early 2022, Logan Paul has gained massive popularity as a professional wrestler. The YouTube star even signed a deal with the organization, which sources claim will keep him in the industry for years to come. As a lifelong wrestling fan, many have wondered whether or not we’ll see KSI step into the ring for a tag-team match with Logan. However, he quickly shut down speculations, claiming he’s got “no business” in the WWE. Nevertheless, the YouTube star finally made an appearance at WrestleMania 39, which didn’t turn out too well for him. KSI frog splashed by Logan Paul at WrestleMania 39 From boxing rivals to business partners, Logan Paul was accompanied by KSI at WrestleMania 39 — who was acting as a Prime Hydration mascot. Taking on Seth Rollins, KSI helped Logan clear the commentator’s table ready for the other Prime co-founder to perform a frog splash. However, in a turn of events, KSI was quickly pulled onto the table by Rollins, who moved out of the way just as Logan jumped off the top rope. Ultimately, Seth Rollins got the better of Logan in the match, coming out with the win in front of 70,000 at the SoFi stadium in Los Angeles. Following the match, KSI took to Instagram to share a photo of him laying in a stretcher with the caption: “Not how I planned to end my night at Wrestlemania.” Regardless, it’s fair to say they certainly put on a good show for fans with KSI’s cameo. However, it’s unclear whether or not we’ll see the YouTuber return to the WWE.

KSI explains why he’d “destroy” Justin Bieber in a boxing match Barely 24 hours after beating Logan Paul in their much-anticipated boxing rematch, KSI has said that he would “destroy” Canadian pop star Justin Bieber in a boxing match. Having finally beaten Logan Paul by split decision in a truly entertaining bout, many fans have been questioning who each YouTuber will be fighting next – or if they’ll even take to the ring again at all. In an interview with UK morning show Good Morning Britain, KSI discussed his emphatic win over Logan Paul and what it means for his individual future, before being asked who he would take on next. Although he said he wouldn’t do another fight unless it “made sense”, controversial host Piers Morgan asked whether he would fight Bieber, who had very publicly shared his support for KSI’s rival Logan Paul in the lead-up to the fight and was front-row at the event. “If Justin Bieber actually wants to fight me, then yeah, obviously, we’ll make it happen,” KSI said. “I’d destroy him. There’s no point. It would be nothing. He doesn’t know how to fight, he doesn’t know how to do anything combat sports, let him just stick to singing.” Following the discussion, Piers questioned KSI on how much his ego would grow following the win before co-host Susanna Reid suggested that KSI’s next opponent could be Piers Morgan himself – who said KSI is “cruisin’ for a bruisin’.” The British YouTuber also confirmed that the pay-per-view buying numbers are believed to be over 500,000 now, not including DAZN territories (Austria, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Canada, Italy, and United States), huge markets where the numbers are expected to far exceed the 1.05 million sales of the first KSI vs. Logan Paul fight. KSI has been involved in every YouTube boxing event so far, beating Joe Weller in the very first iteration before the entire ordeal stepped up a gear for his initial fight against Logan Paul, and yet another when he took on Paul for their rematch on November 9, 2019. Needless to say, he has proven himself as a boxer when he needed to, and definitely doesn’t need to step in the ring again – but a fight with one of the biggest artists on the planet may push him back into it.
