  • KSI seemingly confirms boxing rematch with Logan Paul amid cancellation rumors – Dexerto

    KSI seemingly confirms boxing rematch with Logan Paul amid cancellation rumors KSI, Logan Paul Vlogs – YouTubeThe boxing rematch between YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI appeared to be over for good – but now, the two could be set to face off in the ring once more. KSI appeared to confirm his rematch with Paul in an Instagram comment, where he claimed that he wasn’t ducking their bout as Paul had previously claimed. “I’m not dodging you,” KSI clarified. “I’m fighting you. Case closed. You ain’t gonna be able to hold onto me for dear life this time. Trust me.” Dr Disrespect’s daughter hilariously trash talks Twitch chat during epic rant In fact, KSI’s comment was made in response to Paul’s sparring footage from August 2018, which showed the YouTuber facing off against an array of opponents. View this post on Instagramim a jokes guy but don’t sleep on the bad mothafucka inside me… here’s some unreleased sparring footage from last August :boxing_glove: i got a nasty hunger to damage the next man who’s got big enough balls to step in the ring with me… KSI is doing everything he can to dodge this fight & tbh i don’t blame him. im collecting skulls this winter :freezing::freezing::freezing: ill even fight you @jakepaul, idgaf “I’m a jokes guy, but don’t sleep on the bad mothafucka inside me,” Paul said of the video. “KSI is doing everything he can to dodge this fight and tbh i don’t blame him. I’m collecting skulls this winter.” Paul even went on to challenge his own brother, who took a fight against YouTuber Joe Weller on March 23. News of the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch comes as a welcome surprise, as KSI appeared to call off their bout in favor of a match with Jake Paul in early March 2019. After Jake expressed interest in fighting KSI (both on Instagram and Logan’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast), KSI seemed to be down with the idea, as stated in DMs to Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR and a series of scathing Tweets toward Paul shortly thereafter. 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 KSI accused Logan of being “irrelevant,” and offered to throw down with him after taking on his younger brother, later asking Jake if he was game for the main event on the rematch card. Anyway, @jakepaul you want the main event? You got it. Lets see how “trash” I really am… — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) March 9, 2019 Although originally penciled in for February 2019, KSI later announced their rematch for November 2019 – meaning that fans have eight months to wait for the thrilling conclusion to the YouTubers’ historic beef.

  • KSI says Tommy Fury isn’t taking him seriously after seeing sparring partner – Dexerto

    KSI says Tommy Fury isn’t taking him seriously after seeing sparring partner YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI is unimpressed with Tommy Fury, claiming the Love Island star isn’t taking him seriously after seeing his last sparring partner just one week out from fight night. There’s less than a week to go until the highly-anticipated Prime Card, where we’ll finally be seeing KSI go blow-for-blow with Tommy Fury while Logan Paul touches gloves with Dillon Danis on the same night. Since Fury handed Jake Paul his first loss in February 2023, KSI has been itching to step in the ring with him to prove once and for all he’s the best influencer boxer in the scene. Now, the two will finally step into the ring on October 14, on a card full of firey bouts. KSI lashes out at Tommy Fury after seeing sparring partner According to professional boxer Owen Kirk, he stepped in the ring with Tommy as his final sparring partner in his training camp before the fight. However, KSI is unimpressed with his opponent, claiming Tommy isn’t taking him seriously. In an Instagram story, the YouTube star poked fun at Kirk for his 3-1-2 record, while also taking aim at Tommy. “How fucking dare you?” said the YouTube star. “You’re not taking me seriously at all you fucking piece of shit.” He added: “I’m preparing myself for the ultimate challenge and this is what you’re sparring with? A middleweight with shit movement and weak ass punches?” Furthermore, KSI took to Twitter/X, where once more he claimed his opponent isn’t taking him seriously enough. “Tommy Fury’s final spar…Tommy ain’t taking me seriously,” he said, adding several laughing emojis. Hitting back, Owen Kirk claims KSI is “finished” when he steps in the ring on October 14, adding that he’ll take on any Misfits fighter in the middleweight division. “6 days and you are finished,” the boxer said. “Give me any of your fighters 160lbs – 180lbs.”

  • KSI says Tommy Fury will be his last boxing fight – Dexerto

    KSI says Tommy Fury will be his last boxing fight YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTuber-turned-boxer KSI has revealed that his fight against Tommy Fury will likely be his last inside the boxing ring – unless Jake Paul finally wants to fight him. When influencer boxing first came to the forefront back in 2018, KSI was right at the front of the charge. He fought Joe Weller in the first big YouTuber boxing match before he went to fight Logan Paul. Since then, the influencer boxing game has changed massively and it’s no longer just amateur fights to settle scores. These are now fully professional fights that sell out arenas and bring in massive pay-per-view numbers. He’s been on a bit of a streak in the last year or so, defeating Swarmz and Luis Pineda in the same night before going on to add a win over FaZe Temperrr to his record – as well as no contest against Joe Fournier following an “accidental elbow”. KSI believes Tommy Fury will be his final boxing fight KSI has also agreed to fight Tommy Fury on October 14, looking to go one better than his long-time rival Jake Paul and defeat the Reality TV star. It’s also likely to be his final boxing match too. “Honestly, I think Tommy is it,” KSI said on episode 84 of the Sidecast. “I think, max, would be two because Jake at the end.” The Brit also downplayed talk about a potential rematch against Tommy, believing he’ll score the knockout win. “I’m going to put my all into it. I feel like I haven’t really been able to really show all my skills yet, still!” he added. KSI and Jake have constantly teased a YouTube boxing superfight over the years, and they were talking about making it happen if Jake had beaten Tommy. Though, of course, that didn’t come to fruition. It remains to be seen if they’ll ever actually fight, and if KSI will hold up his end of retiring after clashing with Tommy. It’s the fight game and things change quickly.

  • KSI says there’s “no point” in Jake Paul fight after he’s finished with Tommy Fury – Dexerto

    KSI says there’s “no point” in Jake Paul fight after he’s finished with Tommy Fury KSIYouTube star KSI has claimed a fight with his rival Jake Paul will make no sense once he’s done with Tommy Fury. While fans have long wanted him to step in the ring with Jake Paul — a fight that has been over five years in the making — KSI has set his eyes on a different opponent, aiming to do what his rival couldn’t and KO Tommy Fury. Following months of back-and-forth negotiations, KSI and Tommy are finally set to go blow for blow on October 14 in the AO Arena in Manchester, UK. However, despite the demand for the clash, the YouTube star claims a Jake Paul fight won’t make any sense once he’s done with Fury. KSI claims there’s “no point” in Jake Paul bout after Fury Talking with sports physio specialist Harvey Ubhi, KSI touched on why he even made a return to boxing in the first place — where after almost three years out of the ring he came back with a spectacular two fights in one night. The Prime co-founder claimed he only returned to inevitably touch gloves with Jake Paul but feels like he’s already surpassed that goal now. The YouTuber further explained that once he’s done with Fury, there will be no point in facing ‘The Problem Child’. “As of right now I don’t feel like I need to fight Jake,” he said. “Before it used to be that I came back to fight Jake. Jake is the only reason I came back. But, I feel like I’ve surpassed that now especially after I beat Tommy. At that point, I don’t need to prove to people that I can beat Jake.” He added: “The way I am looking to beat Tommy, man, people will then look at me and Jake and go there’s no point for that fight, we know how it’s going to go, JJ is going to win.” (Timestamp at 4:22) Instead of boxing his long-time rival, KSI is eyeing up a bout with the ‘notorious’ Conor McGregor, who was the first fighter to hold UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously. However, there’s a chance that Fury will be the last time KSI fights inside the boxing ring.

  • KSI says Jake Paul fight would be off if he loses to Tommy Fury – Dexerto

    KSI says Jake Paul fight would be off if he loses to Tommy Fury YouTube: JJ Olatunji, BS w/ Jake PaulYouTube star KSI says his fight with Jake Paul would be off the table if his rival loses to British boxer Tommy Fury, following reports that the two are set to face off this February. The rivalry between KSI and Jake Paul is at its zenith, rivaling the Brit’s previous enmity with Jake’s older brother, Logan, from years past. Ever since KSI initially beat Logan in their first boxing match back in 2018, Jake’s had his eye on a fight with him — and now that KSI is officially back in the ring, the possibility of a match between these two social media titans is closer than ever. Before that can happen, though, Jake Paul is likely scheduled to take on British boxer Tommy Fury this February, after initial talks between the two fizzled out when Fury couldn’t make it over to the States due to travel issues last year. This is another exciting fight for ‘The Problem Child,’ as it would mark Jake’s first fight with a person of his skill level in a fairly evenly-matched bout. However, KSI says that if things don’t go Jake’s way, their highly-anticipated fight might not come to pass. KSI says Jake Paul fight won’t happen if he loses to Tommy Fury The British influencer spoke out on the possibility during a conversation in Twitter spaces on January 23, explaining that Jake vs KSI might not be the “money fight” everyone’s gassed about, should Jake lose such a big challenge. “I think at that point, I’d probably have to fight Tommy Fury instead of Jake,” he answered. “That’s the money fight, though,” a fan replied. “Well, if Tommy beats Jake, then I don’t think that’s the money fight anymore,” KSI replied. “For me, it’s always about being the best.” “Wouldn’t it make sense for you to beat Jake, then fight Tommy?” they asked. “Yeah but I said, I have a goal, I’m taking three fights this year,” he answered. “So that means I’m doing more than I said I was going to do. I’m a busy guy, man. There’s only so much I can do.” KSI went on to list off his responsibilities, which include making YouTube videos with the Sidemen and for his own channel, on top of his career in the music biz. For now, it looks like Jake has one of the biggest tests of his career in front of him — one that will determine whether or not he gets to fight his rival, in the end. For now, Jake is also busy practicing mixed martial arts following his unexpected signing to the Professional Fighters League earlier this month.

  • KSI says Logan Paul “probably not” fighting in January boxing event after WWE injury – Dexerto

    KSI says Logan Paul “probably not” fighting in January boxing event after WWE injury YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Logan PaulKSI has claimed that it’s unlikely fans will see Logan Paul fighting on the Misfits January boxing card due to injuries he sustained during his WWE Universal match against Roman Reigns. Logan Paul is one of the biggest faces in the influencer boxing world, and as such, fans were itching to see the YouTube star take part in the highly-anticipated Misfits 4 event coming up in January. The card is rumored to be stacked with top-tier influencers and pro fighters, but thus far, not much information has been released as to who’s actually fighting come 2023. That being said, there are a few names that fans had pinned as sure-fire appearances on the card, and Logan Paul was one of them — but after getting a few serious injuries, KSI isn’t sure his business partner will be able to make the cut. Paul notably suffered a torn meniscus, MCL, and possibly ACL during his high-flying WWE Universal match against Roman Reigns on November 5. The influencer’s knee caught the corner of a table as he was doing a frog splash on Reigns, likely resulting in the wounds. KSI unsure of Logan Paul’s appearance on Misfits January boxing card As such, it’s not looking likely that Paul will be engaging in any athletic pursuits until he heals — something that KSI pointed out when a fan asked if we’d be seeing Logan take part in the Misfits 4 card next year. “We’re not too sure, but probably not,” he answered during a Q&A video on November 11. “Obviously, he had an amazing fight with Roman Reins, but yeah, he did get injured. Yeah, I think it takes a bit longer than a few weeks to heal. But he’ll be back, hopefully.” (Topic begins at 3:15) For now, Paul is busy resting up and focusing on his podcast as fans continue to watch out for more information on the Misfits card coming up soon. In the meantime, influencer-boxing fans can watch out for Deji’s upcoming match against Floyd Mayweather happening Sunday, November 13.

  • KSI says he’ll appeal “outrageous” Tommy Fury fight result – Dexerto

    KSI says he’ll appeal “outrageous” Tommy Fury fight result DAZN / WassermanYouTube star KSI claims he’ll appeal his loss to Tommy Fury after being beaten by a majority decision. After months of anticipation, KSI finally stepped into the ring and touched gloves with Tommy Fury on October 14. Since Tommy Fury handed Jake Paul his first loss earlier this year, the British YouTube star has been itching to go blow-for-blow with Fury to prove he’s the better boxer. The time finally came for the YouTuber on the action-packed Prime Card on October 14. However, after six grueling rounds, the decision came down to the judges, who ultimately gave the win to Fury by majority decision. KSI wants to appeal Tommy Fury loss Clearly frustrated and struggling to get his words out, KSI explained after the fight that he felt he won the first three rounds, and adding in Fury’s point deduction in the third, he believes he should’ve won the fight. “How do I lose a six-rounder? Unreal. He’s the man that’s meant to be the pro boxer and he won a majority, it’s outrageous. “Bro the amount of times he hit me in the back of the head!” KSI hit out. “So many times. And the referee only gave one point, and he kept doing it over and over.” The YouTube star even claimed that Fury was purposely trying to hit him in the back of the head. “I’m sorry it’s outrageous. We’re going to appeal. I want to appeal.” He added: “I’m sorry, that is outrageous. We need to see that again. I felt like I won that, I felt like I won that.” While there’s no telling how long the appeal process may take, it wouldn’t be out of the question for the fight decision to be overturned.

  • KSI says he’s “prepared to die” to beat Tommy Fury but fans aren’t sold – Dexerto

    KSI says he’s “prepared to die” to beat Tommy Fury but fans aren’t sold YouTube: MMA Fighting/Rob MooreYouTube star KSI sent a stern warning to Tommy Fury, claiming he is “prepared to die” if it means beating him in their October 14 fight. When KSI and Tommy Fury first signed on to fight each other, the trash talk from the YouTuber was mostly all about how he’d manage to do what Jake Paul couldn’t and defeat Tommy in the ring. Things have, naturally, gone up a few levels as the October 14 fight night has gotten closer and closer. However, they haven’t quite reached the levels of Logan Paul and Dillon Danis’ personal barbs – nor have KSI or Tommy opened up a lawsuit like the co-main eventers have. With the fight a week away, the pair of them have been sending their final warnings to each other. KSI’s newest claim, however, has raised a few eyebrows after he said he is “prepared to die” in order to beat Tommy. KSI sends final threat to Tommy Fury ahead of PRIME Card fight That’s right, the fight between KSI and Tommy is a week away at this point, and the pair have been getting their final bits of trash talk in – including KSI’s pretty strong and unusual message. “October 14 is gonna be a horrible day for you, Tommy Fury,” the YouTuber said in an Instagram story, claiming the former reality TV star isn’t prepared for what he’s bringing to the ring. “And I want you to know that the hell doesn’t stop after the fight is over. You will be reminded over and over again for the rest of your life that you lost to a YouTube that’s “worse than Jake Paul”. I’m not here to box you, I’m here to fight you. I’m prepared to die for this. You will see. Let’s see how much you really want this.” As noted, plenty of onlookers have mocked KSi for the message, with many calling it “corny” and claiming that he is “trying too hard” at this point. “He actually thinks he’s intimidating,” one said. “Unbelievably cringe,” added another. “He’s going to get a reality check, I can’t wait,” said another. Elsewhere, the YouTuber has been offered the chance to fight Ryan Garcia given they’ve been beefing recently. Though, who knows if that’ll happen.

  • KSI says he’d “slap” Jake Paul if they cross paths – Dexerto

    KSI says he’d “slap” Jake Paul if they cross paths SideCastBritish YouTube star KSI has claimed there are very few people he’d like to slap, but his rival Jake Paul is one of his targets. Fans have long awaited the day that KSI and Jake Paul go blow for blow in the boxing ring. For years, the two rivals have gone back and forth, and with Jake’s recent victory over Nate Diaz, there’s definitely still an audience for a fight between the two. While the two were set to finally throw down at some point in 2023, it seems like it may be off the cards following Jake Paul’s loss to Tommy Fury. Now, KSI is gearing up to “do what Jake Paul couldn’t” — aiming to KO Fury on October 14 in Manchester. However, while Tommy Fury is in his sights, KSI hasn’t forgotten about his arch nemesis, as he says he’d still slap Jake Paul. KSI says he would slap Jake Paul In a recent SideCast episode with Miniminter, Zerkaa, and Deji, KSI explained there are very few people in the world he’d like to slap —except Jake Paul. “I think there’s very few people I would slap. I would slap Jake Paul,” he said, and when asked why by Zerkaa, he responded: “Because f**k him.” Miniminter then brought up the point of Logan Paul’s future wedding — after the YouTuber announced his engagement to his now fiancée Nina Agdal — where it’s likely KSI and Jake will cross paths at some point. While KSI has already said he’d be civil with his rival at the wedding, he once again agreed that he’d put their differences aside. However, according to Deji, he believes Jake will still try and cause some issues. “Nah, nah, I will have to restrain myself,” KSI reacted. The last time KSI and Jake Paul were in a public setting it almost ended in a brawl between the two YouTubers and their teams. Thankfully, Jake also believes there will be no issue at Logan’s wedding. Although we’ll just have to wait and see what happens when the day comes.

  • KSI says he’ll “absolutely destroy” Tommy Fury after sparring footage – Dexerto

    KSI says he’ll “absolutely destroy” Tommy Fury after sparring footage KSIYouTuber KSI has claimed he’ll “absolutely destroy” his upcoming opponent Tommy Fury after seeing sparring footage from the Love Island star. After Jake Paul fell to the hands of Tommy Fury earlier this year, KSI has been itching to get in the ring with the professional boxer, aiming to prove once and for all that he’s miles ahead of his rival. Following months of negotiations with disputes over pay and weight, the two will finally touch gloves on October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester, UK. Now with both sides training ahead of their fight, KSI is more confident than ever after seeing recent sparring footage from his opponent. KSI claims he’s going to “absolutely destroy” Tommy Fury In the build-up to his next bout, footage has surfaced of Tommy briefly sparring with his older brother, who’s a boxing heavyweight champion with an impressive 33-0-1 record. Despite sparring with a heavyweight world champion, it’s fair to say KSI was left rather unimpressed with what he saw, claiming he’ll “absolutely destroy” him if that’s how he’s preparing for their upcoming bout. “If this is his training, then I’m gonna absolutely destroy him this October,” he wrote on Twitter. However, while KSI is rather nonplussed about Tommy’s skills, many have noted it isn’t easy to look good when sparring Tyson, who stands at 6ft 9in. “Tbf I don’t think anyone could look good being pressured from 6’9ft heavyweight champion Tyson fury lol,” one wrote. “Are you thick? He’s sparring heavy weight world champ?” another hit out. With the fight not slated till October 14, where we’ll also be seeing Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis touch gloves on the same night, there’s still plenty of time for training to ramp up. In an attempt to taunt his opponent, KSI has recently come under fire fans for using a TikToker’s appearance to mock Fury. Furthermore, the YouTube star has claimed a fight with Jake Paul will make no sense once he’s done with Tommy.

  • KSI says he would go “nowhere near MMA” after KO’ing Joe Fournier – Dexerto

    KSI says he would go “nowhere near MMA” after KO’ing Joe Fournier YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has updated fans on his MMA prospects, saying he won’t go anywhere near the sport following his controversial boxing victory over Joe Fournier. KSI is coming fresh off his second boxing win of the year — but this result has been met with quite a bit of contention from viewers. The British YouTube star KO’d his opponent in the second round of their highly-anticipated May 13 bout, but many believe that the knockout was illegal, arguing that KSI had knocked Fournier in the face with his elbow. Although KSI himself argues that he “landed that hook,” Fournier has appealed his loss, and the boxing commission is now set to make a decision on Friday, May 19 after a period of deliberation. It’s well-known that the use of anything other than one’s gloves is illegal in the sport of boxing. However, in other combat sports, kicks, elbows, and grappling are allowed. See Muay Thai, also known as the ‘Art of Eight Limbs,’ as it allows fighters to use their fists, feet, elbows, and knees in a sanctioned match. Shortly after KSI’s contested victory, viewers began joking that the Brit should take up MMA — something that Jake Paul has already started doing, having signed with the Professional Fighter’s League at the beginning of the year. KSI dismisses claims of starting MMA after Joe Fournier KO Despite this, KSI is adamantly against taking up another discipline outside the Sweet Science. The YouTuber addressed these jokes in a May 16 video reacting to his latest win, saying he doesn’t want to go anywhere near MMA. “I mean, f*ck me, if I’m knocking people out with my forearm and my elbow, maybe I should be getting into MMA,” he laughed. “Maybe I’m in the wrong sport!” “Nah, I’m kidding,” he clarified. “I wouldn’t go nowhere near MMA, man. I have seen what those guys gotta do and deal with, and I am good.” (Topic begins at 4:10) It’s clear that KSI has no desire to step into the octagon anytime soon. In fact, the influencer had made plans to retire from boxing this year — but after some comments made on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, it’s looking likely that his long-awaited match with Jake Paul could happen in early 2024.

  • KSI says he’d “love” to fight Andrew Tate in 2023 after Dillon Danis bout – Dexerto

    KSI says he’d “love” to fight Andrew Tate in 2023 after Dillon Danis bout YouTube: Piers Morgan Uncensored, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI says he’d “love” to take on Andrew Tate in 2023 following his upcoming boxing match against Dillon Danis in January. KSI is one of the internet’s most popular influencer-boxing personalities, and he’s currently gearing up for the biggest fight of his career against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis. The two are set to face off on January 14, 2023 — but it looks like KSI is already looking forward to his next opponent if his latest interview is anything to go by. KSI appeared as a guest on popular streamer Kai Cenat’s Twitch broadcast on December 1 alongside Dillon Danis, where the two got into a bit of a heated spat before Cenat could start asking the hard-hitting questions. KSI willing to fight Andrew Tate in 2023 One of Cenat’s queries asked if KSI would be willing to fight Andrew Tate, which the influencer answered with an enthusiastic yes. “Bro, I’d love to fight Andrew Tate,” KSI confirmed. “Oh yeah, of course, bro. He’s been calling me out left, right, and center. I’ve said I’ve wanted to fight Andrew Tate.” “Do you think that could be a possible fight in 2023?” “Oh, of course,” the YouTuber answered. Thus far, KSI is allegedly slated to have three bouts in 2023, with one of them being against Dillon Danis. Right now, it’s unclear who his next two opponents will be, but Jake Paul is a popular pick among fans for his final bout of the year. This isn’t the first time KSI has admitted to wanting a fight with Tate, either; the influencer publicly called out Tate in the boxing ring directly after defeating Swarmz and Luis Pineda in his ‘two fights, one night’ event in August. Tate, himself, has also been open to boxing KSI, notably saying “Why would I not punch him in the face for money?” For now, it’s unclear if KSI and Tate will ever meet in the boxing ring — but it looks like Jake Paul might have beaten him to the figurative punch if their recent faceoffs are anything to go by.

  • KSI says he will fight two boxers in August 27 comeback event – Dexerto

    KSI says he will fight two boxers in August 27 comeback event Twitter: ksiYouTube star KSI has revealed he’s taking on a second opponent on the same night of his highly-anticipated comeback match against Swarmz on August 27. KSI is turning the world of influencer-boxing upside-down with his latest announcement, claiming he’ll take on two fighters come August 27. Initially, KSI was slated to box against American YouTuber Alex Wassabi as a “warm-up” match after two years out of the ring. However, Wassabi pulled out of the bout mere weeks ahead of fight night, prompting KSI to pick a replacement in British rapper ‘Swarmz.’ Fans were a bit miffed at the YouTuber’s choice of opponent, begging him to face off against a bevvy of other influencers, instead. KSI names second boxing opponent It seems as though KSI has chosen to up the ante in a different way, saying that he’s facing off against two opponents on the same event. KSI dropped the news in an August 16 YouTube video, where he stated he’ll also be fighting against 43-year-old Bulgarian pro boxer Ivan Nikolov. According to BoxRec, Nikolov’s pro record is 3-16-2. Nikolov is a middle-weight boxer — and one that KSI says will be the “most durable fighter that I’ve ever faced.” “This guy is a scary motherf**ker bro,” he said. “And Jake Paul, before you pipe up, why don’t you fight him after me?” That’s not all; KSI also claimed that he’d reached out to Bryce Hall, Vinnie Hacker, and even Tayler Holder as possible second opponents, but all either had conflicting schedules or “said no.” This will mark the first influencer boxing event of its kind — and one that fans are eager to see Jake Paul’s opinion of.

  • KSI says he won’t fight Alex Wassabi after boxing match fell through – Dexerto

    KSI says he won’t fight Alex Wassabi after boxing match fell through YouTube: JJ Olatunji, THE BREAKDOWNYouTuber Alex Wassabi says that rival influencer KSI won’t accept another fight with him after their 2022 boxing match fell through due to an injury. British YouTuber, rapper, and boxer KSI was slated to face off with American influencer Alex Wassabi earlier this year. However, Wassabi pulled out of their match mere weeks before fight night due to a serious injury he incurred while sparring. This prompted KSI to pick a backup opponent in British rapper Swarmz… as well as another opponent in Mexican pro boxer Luis Pineda. In the end, Wassabi’s injury sparked a first in the history of influencer boxing, with KSI taking two fights in one night — both of which he won. Despite the drama, Wassabi claims that he’s game to face off with KSI again, but says his British rival isn’t interested after their bout fell through. In an interview with THE BREAKDOWN, Wassabi claimed that he was speaking with KSI when he brought up the subject of another fight with the YouTuber. “I am definitely down to circle back to it,” Wassabi said of the possibility. “We exchanged on Twitter and I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll see you back in the ring one day,’ and he was like, ‘Nope, you lost [your chance].’” (Topic begins at 4:50) That being said, Wassabi is still game to set things right, should KSI ever need another replacement — but for now, it’s not looking likely that we’ll see these two touch gloves in the future. Wassabi vs KSI was intended as a grudge match after the American defeated KSI’s little bro, Deji, in a boxing match back in March. KSI was notably very tough on his brother due to the loss, sparking some back-and-forth between him and Wassabi, who didn’t take kindly to KSI’s comments. For now, KSI is gearing up for his match against Dillon Danis coming up on January 14.

  • KSI says Austin McBroom is just a “stepping stone” for Floyd Mayweather or Jake Paul fight – Dexerto

    KSI says Austin McBroom is just a “stepping stone” for Floyd Mayweather or Jake Paul fight YouTube: JJ Olatunji, The Hollywood FixYouTube star, music artist and boxer KSI has teased the possibility of a bout with Floyd Mayweather after taking on Austin McBroom — a rival he called a “stepping stone” to bigger prospects. Influencer boxing has taken over the online world, and it doesn’t look like the trend will be slowing down anytime soon. In wake of the YouTubers vs TikTokers event in June, McBroom — who defeated opponent Bryce Hall — notably called out KSI for a potential matchup, which the British star accepted with a fiery reply. However, the ACE Family patriarch has been chirping up a storm since his initial callout, stating in a subsequent interview with paparazzi that KSI should “really learn how to box.” KSI hit back at McBroom in a YouTube video a week later, stating that his American rival is merely a means to an end — that end being a bout with Jake Paul, who has been calling out the ‘Down Like That’ artist for some time now. “This guy thinks it’s gonna be a ‘great match,’ for him,” he clapped back at McBroom. “For me! Bro, I’m going to obliterate you! What are you talking about? I’m literally using you as a stepping stone for Jake!” “You’re a stepping stone, bro,” he continued. “I need you as a warmup. I need a warmup to get back into the swing of things! It’s been awhile since I’ve felt connected to a YouTuber with my fists! So I wanna get back into the swing of things, and then boom, Jake Paul.” View this post on Instagram That’s not all; KSI also teased a possible future bout with Floyd Maywather, who took on Logan Paul in June for an exhibition match — although, for now, the idea is still just a concept in KSI’s grand plans. “You never know, I could be fighting Mayweather as well,” he mused. “Bro, it’s all mad. I mean, if Logan could fight Mayweather, f** it, why can’t I? You now what I mean? Like, why not? You only live once. F**k it!” (Topic begins at 21:53) While KSI has claimed that his music career is currently keeping him incredibly busy, it looks like the British YouTube star is finally turning his focus back onto combat sports, leaving fans anxious to see him throw down with his fellow content creators sometime soon.

    KSI says he is returning to boxing to finally “f**k Jake Paul up” YouTube: KSI/Jake PaulYouTube star JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji says he’s making his return to boxing so that he can finally get his long-awaited fight with Jake Paul, but it won’t be happening anytime soon. When the influencer boxing craze kicked off back in 2018, KSI was right at the forefront of things. The Brit settled his beef with Joe Weller inside the boxing ring, and turned his attention to Logan Paul afterwards. After defeating Logan, it seemed as if KSI was on a collision course to fight his brother Jake soon after. Though, that didn’t happen. Jake has, instead, moved on to fighting former NBA and Mixed Martial Arts stars, while KSI hasn’t fought since his bout with Logan back in 2019. The pair have always talked about eventually squaring off inside the ring, and even though Jake’s promotion recently poured cold water on the prospect of it happening, KSI is still targeting a fight with his long-time rival. A clip from one of KSI’s concerts captured the attention of fans after it started doing the rounds on TikTok. While taking a break from his show, the YouTuber addressed some claims that he wouldn’t return to boxing, despite all the talk. “It’s so funny, so many motherf**kers think ‘he ain’t going to box again, he’ll stick with the music’ and to be honest, I probably could have,” KSI told the crowd. “But I was like nah man, I need to f**k Jake Paul up! So you best believe it’s coming.” The YouTuber also reiterated the fact that he’ll return to the ring in late August, and then after that, he wants to trade blows with his long-time rival. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load As noted, a fight between the pair is something that has been talked about for years at this point, and while there is plenty of interest, who knows if it’ll ever happen. KSI has remained a part of Jake’s boxing ‘hitlist’ but he also wants to be a world champion and fight the likes of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens after their respective summer fights.

KSI responded to Jake’s lengthy explanation with a picture of the ‘forehead vein kid’ meme, captioning the picture, “Logan trying not to fuck Erika like.” KSI’s Tweet is in reference to Logan’s hookup with brother Jake Paul’s ex-girlfriend, Alissa Violet, who came clean about her involvement with both Paul brothers in Shane Dawson’s recent documentary series in one of its final episodes. Logan trying not to fuck Erika like pic.twitter.com/e0adaC3Hjj — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) November 7, 2018 Violet claimed that her relationship with Jake was toxic for both parties, and alleged that she hadn’t been truly unfaithful to her ‘on-again, off-again’ boyfriend due to the uncertain nature of their relationship.

It was also revealed that Paul has been hooking up with other women following his split with Costell, although it is uncertain if she will remain with Team 10 upon its upcoming rebranding.

  • KSI says Alex Wassabi fight is “very personal” after agreeing to lower weight requirement – Dexerto

    KSI says Alex Wassabi fight is “very personal” after agreeing to lower weight requirement DAZN / YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI is adamant that his upcoming boxing match against rival influencer Alex Wassabi is deeply “personal” after Wassabi defeated his brother Deji in the ring last year. KSI is finally returning to the boxing ring this August after spending two years focusing on his career as an upcoming rapper. This will mark KSI’s fourth fight ever, following his bouts against Joe Weller and Logan Paul in 2018-2019… but he says this next match is “personal.” KSI and Wassabi linked up for a virtual face-to-face meeting courtesy of DAZN, where the British boxer reiterated that this bout is as real as it gets. “For me, it’s personal,” KSI said. “Very personal. Bro, I wake up and I’m just seeing Alex Wassabi. And I’m just like, I need to annihilate him. Bro, you’re just there, every day. That’s all I think about.” “I just need you on the floor. I need you annihilated. I need to show everyone how good I am, how sick I am at boxing. I need to rectify my last fight where everyone just thinks I’m a swinger. No, no, no. I’m a different beast now. Watch.” That’s not all; during the interview, both parties seemed to agree on lowering the weight requirement for their bout to 175 pounds after KSI taunted Wassabi for finding it hard to put on weight. “I lost thirty pounds for you, so you can’t give me all this s**t like, ‘Aw man, I had to go up in weight.’ I lost over thirty pounds for you, fam!” KSI yelled. “…I can go down, keep going down.” “Alright, let’s switch the weight to 175 if it’s not a big deal,” Wassabi countered. “I mean, I’m down. Why not?” KSI replied. “Go for it. I’ll talk to Mams and I’ll make it happen.” (Topic begins at 8:15) KSI and Alex Wassabi are slated to touch gloves on August 27 at the O2 Arena in London, marking another major influencer bout after Jake Paul’s August 6 fight at Madison Square Garden.

  • KSI roasts PewDiePie for losing YouTube race against T-Series – Dexerto

    KSI roasts PewDiePie for losing YouTube race against T-Series KSI, PewDiePie – YouTubeYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg’s race against Bollywood label T-Series seems to have finally come to an end – but that isn’t stopping one YouTuber from rubbing figurative salt in the wound. YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji hit back at PewDiePie’s comments on his forehead during a ‘Try not to Laugh’ challenge video on April 11, where the Swede compared KSI’s forehead to that of an apparent, exaggerated camera filter. “KSI, looks like you have a rival, here!” PewDiePie said of the clip – prompting a savage response from the YouTuber in question. [Timestamp: 1:51 for mobile viewers] While KSI jokingly played sad music over his video in apparent distress, he went on to pull up the subscriber gap between PewDiePie and T-Series’ YouTube channels, set with an overlay of his own music. That’s not all; KSI even went on to subscribe to T-Series in retaliation, adding yet another number to T-Series’ steadily growing subscriber count. [Timestamp: 3:35 for mobile viewers] KSI vs PewDiePie: a history This wouldn’t be the first time KSI and PewDiePie have had beef, either; the YouTubers got into a heated internet feud in 2016, after KSI criticized Kjellberg for calling out channels like Drama Alert for allegedly harming the YouTube community. PewDiePie later called both KSI and Logan Paul “scumbags” ahead of their 2018 boxing match, accusing them of holding their fight merely for monetary gain. “He has no ground to talk at all,” KSI responded in an interview. “He is the person who ruined a lot of peoples’ lives on YouTube, with his comments and his whole anti-Semitic… I can’t even say the word.” Despite their feud, PewDiePie went on to call for a truce, admitting that being “money-driven” wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. [Timestamp: 2:35 for mobile viewers] T-Series vs PewDiePie – is this the end? KSI’s latest action shows that their beef isn’t completely in the past, though – but PewDiePie’s battle with T-Series might very well be, as the label sits at over 290,000 subscribers above the Swede as of April 18. Although Kjellberg put up a nearly six-month-long fight against T-Series, things seemed to be over in late March, after the label surpassed him for over five days. However, PewDiePie’s ‘Congratulations’ diss track skyrocketed his subscriber count – but it wasn’t to last, as T-Series overtook the YouTuber once again, and has yet to be challenged a second time.

  • KSI roasts YouTuber Alex Wassabi for boxing fail against Fouseytube – Dexerto

    KSI roasts YouTuber Alex Wassabi for boxing fail against Fouseytube Fouseytube, KSI – YouTubePopular YouTuber KSI is set to throw down with social media star Logan Paul in the boxing ring, once again – but that isn’t stopping him from stirring up beef with other personalities ahead of his rematch. Although KSI’s most famous rivalry lies with Logan Paul, he likewise had beef with fellow YouTuber Alex Wassabi in 2018, after Wassabi responded to KSI’s call for boxing opponents following his match with Joe Weller. One year later, Wassabi sparred with fellow YouTuber Fouseytube in an August 25 video – but things didn’t go very well for the challenger. Their sparring match ended in a KO for Wassabi, after Fouseytube launched a solid headshot that saw his opponent crumple to the canvas in Round 2. Of course, the YouTubers’ match caught the attention of KSI, who openly mocked Wassabi for getting KO’d in a savage video on August 27 – even asking his viewers to spam the clown emoji underneath Wassabi’s social media posts. “You always find a new way to make me laugh,” KSI chuckled. “…he couldn’t even beat Fouseytube. It’s a shame, because Alex actually did alright! …but god damn, one punch from Fousey and he’s dropped!” That’s not all: KSI even tagged Wassabi in a Tweet shortly after uploading his video, simply posting the clown emoji – an action that saw many of his fans follow suit, as evidenced by the comments on Wassabi’s Instagram photos. 400 KSI isn’t the only white-collar boxer reacting to Wassabi’s KO, either: rival Logan Paul likewise weighed in on the drama, simply posing the eyes emoji in response to Fouseytube’s Twitter post on the subject. With just three months left to prepare for their rematch, both KSI and Logan Paul are gearing up to set foot in the ring, but word is still out on an undercard for the bout – but Fouseytube might be up for the challenge, claiming he wants “all the smoke” with YouTubers Jake Paul and Deji. While Jake Paul has yet to officially accept or deny his callout, he’s still looking for an opponent, leaving fans in the dark ahead of the highly-anticipated November 9 event.

  • KSI roasts Austin McBroom’s idea of Logan Paul vs Bryce Hall boxing fight – Dexerto

    KSI roasts Austin McBroom’s idea of Logan Paul vs Bryce Hall boxing fight YouTube: KSI / IMPAULSIVE / Instagram: brycehallAfter Austin McBroom suggested that YouTuber Logan Paul and TikToker Bryce Hall should fight each other, JJ Olatunji a.k.a. KSI has responded to the idea. Since the Battle of the Platforms fight event in June, influencers haven’t slowed down when it comes to trying to set up their next fight, throwing challenges out left, right, and center. In particular, Austin McBroom, who was the winning headline fighter of the event, has been keen to set up another Social Gloves event. He’s been thinking hard about who he could fight next, and he’s got his sights set on KSI as he explained in an interview with paparazzi. But in an unexpected comment, he also suggested that Logan Paul fight Bryce Hall, Austin’s former opponent. “For Logan, get a win, bro. Before you say anything, get a win,” he said. “And like I said, I think Bryce would be a good competition for you, you need a win. So I think if you beat Bryce, then me and you can talk.” Topic starts at 8:11 But in an August 5 YouTube video, after describing Austin as a “stepping stone” and a “warmup,” KSI went on to comment on the idea of Logan and Bryce fighting. Read More: MrBeast smashes new YouTube milestone – “You got it all wrong, Austin,” he said. “So you think Logan is gonna stoop down to fight Bryce. Bryce Hall? If, when, he beats Bryce Hall, then he can then fight you or something. That’s assuming Austin, that you beat me. Which is just not going to happen.” Topic starts at 22:58 When Austin brought up the idea of a 2v2 between the four fighters, KSI responded: “What’s going on? What is he on about? Austin, shut up.” With conversations constantly going on publicly, and no doubt behind the scenes as well, it’s not clear who will ultimately end up fighting who. But everyone has quite different ideas when it comes to who would be better matched in a fight.

  • KSI roasts brother Deji over YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing loss: “Don’t ever box again” – Dexerto

    KSI roasts brother Deji over YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing loss: “Don’t ever box again” Instagram: comedygamerFollowing the YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing event, top YouTuber KSI has begged his brother to never step into the ring again if he can’t put in the work to truly compete. KSI — real name Olajide Olatunji — has had a fractured relationship with brother Deji through the years. For some time the two weren’t even talking, but their beef seemed to have died down throughout 2020 and 2021. After the Battle of the Platforms, KSI even tweeted his little brother saying that he’s not a failure, praising him for getting in the ring and telling him to “not worry” about his loss to Vinnie Hacker. No you’re not deji. You got in that ring. That’s more than what many could ever do. Ultimately you’re an entertaining YouTuber, boxing or not. So don’t worry about this for real. ❤️ bro — ksi (@KSI) June 13, 2021 It appears as though the YouTube, boxing, and music star has had a change of heart regarding his brother’s performance, however, posting a video explaining why it was “embarrassing” and roasting Deji’s approach to hard work. “Deji, I’m going to talk to you like no one else will around you, because I’m your brother,” KSI said, prefacing the approaching rant. “I’m gonna be real with you: Your work ethic is terrible. I’m disappointed in your team and the people around you, man… It was embarrassing.” He went on to question how much Deji actually trained considering the shape he was in for the fight, referring to it as a “junk food figure.” “Deji, man… Don’t ever box again,” he requested of his brother. “Don’t ever box again until you work on your cardio.” KSI does mention how talented Deji is, admitting that he’s the less talented brother of the two, but his own work rate is what has put him in the position he is. He continued: “The problem is, Deji, you don’t know hard work if it punched you in the face. And it punched you so many times in the Jake [Paul] fight.” KSI’s closing statement was one that should resonate with Deji, and he’ll be hoping to get the message across. “You want to get out of my shadow? Start putting in that work.”

  • KSI roasted after sharing pathetic squats and bench press – Dexerto

    KSI roasted after sharing pathetic squats and bench press Twitter: KSIBritish rapper and boxer KSI has been roasted on Twitter after sharing videos of himself working out – and leaving fans unimpressed with his squat and bench press form. Ahead of his fight versus Dillon Danis on January 14, KSI has been working his way back to peak fitness. Naturally, that involves hundreds of hours honing his boxing technique and stamina. It also appears to involve some time in the gym with questionable form, if December 30 tweets from the Brit are anything to go by. In two posts, he shared footage of himself squatting 130 kg and then bench pressing 120 kg. Both times his form was ripped to shreds, leading many to the conclusion he was trolling the whole time. In the first video, KSI’s squats were criticized as half-reps, meaning he did complete his squatting movement low, or ‘deep’, enough. Some also pointed to the lack of clips securing the weights on the barbell, making the whole exercise even more precarious. One commenter joked: “Bro posted a light quarter squat as a flex I can’t believe it”. Bodybuilder Bradley Martyn even got involved, saying: “Nah you’re trolling.” In a second video, KSI can be seen bench pressing. However, instead of moving the weight in a controlled and consistent manner, he more drops it on his own chest before being helped up by his spotter. Posting such questionable form back to back cemented the conclusion that he was trolling. One viewer said: “this is a perfect example of trying to lift something you can’t lift”. We’re certainly hoping that KSI’s boxing outperforms his gym performance when he takes to the ring on January 14. That’s if the fight actually happens – it has recently been thrown into doubt by Danis claiming KSI’s camp has tried to insert a controversial “rehydration clause” late on to “handicap” him. KSI’s team maintains that the clause was present when the contract was signed by Danis originally.

  • KSI roasts Adam Saleh after Social Knockout draw against “kid” Waleed Sharks – Dexerto

    KSI roasts Adam Saleh after Social Knockout draw against “kid” Waleed Sharks YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Adam Saleh VlogsYouTube star and music artist KSI is wasting no time roasting rival influencer Adam Saleh after his draw against Waleed Sharks at the June 30 Social Knockout boxing event. KSI and Adam Saleh have been spatting back and forth for some time now. Earlier this month, KSI hit out at Saleh for purportedly “fixing” his boxing match against mixed martial artist Marcus Stephenson in 2019. In fact, the British YouTuber called Saleh a “f**king fraud” — prompting Saleh to hit back in a series of Instagram posts bragging that he would “Tank Davis this dude if I have ONE round with him in the ring” and claiming that KSI is “scared to fight” him. Saleh’s boxing skills were put to the test in his July 30 match against 17-year-old Waleed Sharks… a match that ended in a draw, in spite of many viewers’ opinions that Waleed appeared to clearly outshine his opponent. View this post on Instagram This has led to a slew of outrage online against the ruling — as well as some jokes at Saleh’s expense, which KSI took part in with an Instagram post of his own. Read More: How to watch Social Knockout boxing event – Shortly after news of the draw spread online, KSI took to Instagram to shade his rival, claiming that there’s no way Saleh could hope to take him on after being beaten by a “kid.” KSI also took shots at Slim, who faced off against N&A Productions and won in a victory that many are claiming wasn’t a balanced fight. “Adam Saleh got beat up by a kid and he thinks he can beat me?” KSI asked with a slew of laughing emojis. “And Slim, there’s no way you can be gassed beating someone like that. The guy hardly fought back lmao.” Saleh clapped back at KSI’s comments in another Instagram post, writing: “LMFAO you don’t even know how to fight properly! I fought an actual fighter! I dare you to fight a real boxer your weight!” While it’s unlikely we’ll ever see these two hash out their differences in the boxing ring (as KSI is focused on Jake Paul as a highly possible future opponent), their verbal sparring is still a treat worthy of a good chuckle.

  • KSI reveals why he spent $200,000 on a watch – Dexerto

    KSI reveals why he spent $200,000 on a watch YouTube superstar Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has splashed out on a brand new watch worth £150,000 ($200,000). KSI has become one of YouTube’s biggest stars amassing over 19 million subscribers on his main channel, while also being a member of the massively popular group, The Sidemen. In his latest video, Olatunji announced that he went to Pragnell Jewellers in London to acquire a brand new watch, which the Brit said he wanted to be “iced out and covered in diamonds.” While at Pragnell, KSI was shown a number of watches, including two rose gold options, but settled on a Rolex covered in diamonds, which KSI ended up paying £156,000 ($197,000) for, well over his initial budget of £100,000 ($126,000). After purchasing the watch, KSI showed it off to Sidemen co-members Simon ‘Miniminter’ Minter and Joshua ‘Zerkaa’ Bradley, before revealing that he wouldn’t actually be able to keep it in his house, and would store it “in a massive vault.” KSI revealed that he decided to buy the watch to celebrate a successful year, describing his 2018 as “phenomenal.” 2018 was certainly a huge year for the YouTuber, with his boxing fight with Logan Paul capturing the attention of millions of people all over the world. The pair are set to lock horns again, this time in the USA, after the fight ended in a controversial draw, although no official announcement has been made at time of writing. The year hasn’t always been smooth sailing for KSI however, as he is currently involved in a bitter feud with his brother Deji.

  • KSI reveals why Jake Paul fight will be his last boxing match – Dexerto

    KSI reveals why Jake Paul fight will be his last boxing match IG: KSI/Jake PaulPopular British YouTuber and rapper Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has revealed why a boxing match against Jake Paul, younger brother of Logan Paul, would constitute his final fight. KSI has, unlike the overwhelming majority of YouTube stars, transcended the platform and become widely known in mainstream culture. Not only a boxer, the rapper’s new album ‘Dissimulation’ has just been launched. It was during an interview with BBC Sounds about his new album that the YouTube star shed some light on his reasons for fighting Jake Paul, and whether he will look to find a new opponent once the bout is over. Following discussion about his new album, the star then addressed the heavily-rumored fight with Jake Paul. After beating Jake’s older brother, Logan, across two fights, KSI has stated his intentions to fight Jake, following the American’s victories over Deji and AnEsonGib. Asked by the show’s host why he needs to fight Jake Paul, KSI responded: “I don’t need it, but I want to, because I just need to humble him. I need to finish this whole thing off. Gib was meant to do it back in January, and unfortunately he failed, so I’m here to finish off this whole YouTube boxing thing.” Despite being heavily anticipated, AnEsonGib’s fight with Jake Paul ended in the first round, with the American securing the TKO. How quick was that?! First round TKO by @jakepaul on @AnEsonGib #PaulvsGib pic.twitter.com/drxkMNfPNz — DEXERTO.COM (@Dexerto) January 31, 2020 “Jake Paul’s the last person,” KSI continued. “He’s beaten my bro, he’s beaten one of my best mates, so it needs to happen. I can’t just duck him, I can’t just get away from him. I need to let him know who’s boss and who’s the king of this YouTube boxing.” KSI confirmed that the fight will definitely take place, albeit probably not this year. He finished: “He will be the last one. You never know, but I don’t see there being anyone else.” He agreed that the fight will be “personal” and stated that he genuinely dislikes both brothers. While certainly fuelled by vitriol for his opponents, KSI will be a strong favorite for the fight, thanks to his past record in boxing and significant size advantage. The discussion surrounding the fight recently has been heating up, with Paul accusing KSI of “ducking” their match – though KSI said that he’s never even seen the ‘contract’ in question.

  • KSI reveals why he’s “done” with Deji as sibling rivalry sparks again – Dexerto

    KSI reveals why he’s “done” with Deji as sibling rivalry sparks again KSI, Deji – YouTubePopular YouTubers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Oladeji ‘Deji’ Olatunji squashed a dramatic, months-long beef in early January – but their bitter feud may have sparked once more. KSI posted a series of Tweets on May 1 slamming his little brother for making his ‘Unforgivable’ diss track public again, which was created during the height of their feud in 2018 and thought to have been permanently privated in a show of peace. “I pray you never reach 10 million subs,” KSI wrote of the issue, calling back to Deji’s massive subscriber loss due to their previous quarrel. “You’ve shown your true colors. Imagine making that public again? LOL whatever. I’m done with you Deji.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw76d41AzPh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link While Deji has yet to respond to KSI’s callout via social media, a quick search shows that the video is, indeed, back up on Deji’s channel – despite his promise to take the track down. Deji made this promise in early January, claiming that their feud had “gone on for too long” and that the song had brought “too much negativity” to his channel. The video, which boasts over 11 million views as of May 1, has received ample backlash from fans since resurfacing on YouTube, with commenters claiming that Deji is “throwing himself under the bus” and “selling out” his brother for views once again. The story behind KSI & Deji’s bitter feud The brothers’ beef began in November 2018, after Deji showed KSI’s bank records in a diss track against his cameraman, Randolph. Following this scandal, Deji even claimed that KSI had gotten a girl pregnant, appearing to imply that he’d pressured her for an abortion – prompting a swift block from KSI on social media in response to the claim. Deji later uploaded his ‘Unforgivable’ diss track and even made an appearance on Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast to discuss his beef with KSI, going on to kick his older brother out of the house on Christmas day after their feud rose to an unfortunate crescendo. However, it appeared that their battle was finally over, after Deji succumbed to KSI’s demands and privated his diss track – but now, the feud is back on, and there’s no telling if the two will make up again this time.

  • KSI reveals why he is stepping away from boxing until 2021 – Dexerto

    KSI reveals why he is stepping away from boxing until 2021 On Demand Entertainment, YouTubeYouTube star-turned-pro boxer KSI has revealed that he’s taking a step back from the sport, after rival Jake Paul challenged him to a fight following the defeat of his older brother, Logan Paul. KSI made a name for himself in the boxing world after taking on fellow content creator Joe Weller, subsequently calling out the Paul brothers for a potential match. Thus, a fierce rivalry was born between the three YouTubers, with KSI and Logan Paul meeting twice in the ring in the past two years. Following their controversial draw on August 5, 2018, KSI ultimately emerged the victor of their feud on November 9, 2019 — but that wasn’t the end of his feud with the Paul family, with Jake calling for revenge on his older brother’s loss not long after. However, it doesn’t look like KSI vs Jake Paul will be taking place anytime soon, as the British star revealed in an interview with On Demand Entertainment in early March at the 2020 Global Awards. According to KSI, his upcoming tour schedule and music plans are keeping him far too busy to focus on training, with the social media celebrity confirming that he would hop back into the sport in 2021. “Definitely next year,” he confirmed. “Right now, [I’m] music-focused. But yeah, after the album and all that… after we get all of that done, then yeah, of course.” (Topic begins at 1:35 for mobile readers) While the news comes as a shock, it’s not completely out of left field, with boxing trainer and fellow YouTuber Viddal Riley making a similar statement in late February. “JJ’s booked for too many tours already, too many festivals,” Riley explained. “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.” Although Jake Paul has made it quite clear that he’s ready to throw down at any moment, it looks like both he and his fanbase will have to wait for the eventual conclusion to the Paul bros vs KSI rivalry — and there’s no telling how it will end.

  • KSI reacts to Twitch terminating partnership agreements after his decade-long break – Dexerto

    KSI reacts to Twitch terminating partnership agreements after his decade-long break YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI has reacted to Twitch’s new “terminating” partnership contracts, and so he will no longer be a Partner for the streaming platform, despite him taking a decade-long break from streaming. Twitch has found itself at the center of major controversy following the backlash to its proposed Branded Content guidelines. While the company has since backtracked on the changes, with the CEO even apologizing for the mishap on stream, Twitch still finds itself at the heart of many discussions throughout the streaming community. To add fuel to the fire, Twitch is overhauling its partnership program, and replacing it with the “monetized streamer agreement.” Posting on Twitter with the caption “sad times”, KSI uploaded an image of a message he received from the streaming platform. It reads as follows. “With this email, Twitch is providing you with written notice that your Partner agreement will not auto-renew for the next renewal term and will terminate one year from the date of this email or earlier upon your acceptance of the new Monetized Streamer Agreement.” His tweet is likely tongue-in-cheek, as KSI has not streamed on Twitch for 10 years now. Over a decade ago, the content creator would occasionally stream games such as FIFA, horror titles, and more. But since then, scarce appearances on the streams of others like Kai Cenat is the best fans get in terms of live content.

    KSI reveals Wayne Rooney challenged him to boxing match Youtube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star and boxer Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji revealed he was challenged to a boxing match by former Manchester United star turned football manager Wayne Rooney. However, it’s not likely to happen any time soon. During a press conference in preparation for his fight against Dillon Danis, which is scheduled for January 14, KSI revealed a surprising bit of news that took viewers off guard. Apparently football sensation Wayne Rooney challenged the content creator to a fight. But as of now, it seems KSI isn’t interested in accepting the challenge. “I hope he doesn’t get annoyed that I said this, but Wayne Rooney hit me up being like ‘oh, we should fight’, and I said no. I just don’t want to do that,” he stated. “If Wayne Rooney is down of course I think it would be good to have him in the space. I know Wayne Bridge is another person that’s been interested in the space,” KSI continued. “For me, I just got certain goals in mind. Maybe after Jake, if I want to do something after Jake. We’ll see,” he told the press. As of now, it appears KSI has his eye on other big name fighters in the influencer sphere. His matchup against Jake Paul looms across the horizon, and KSI is on the rise, searching for big names to fight. Within the list of fighters is the viral sensation Andrew Tate, even going as far as stating he would “love to fight Andrew Tate.” Therefore, with so many fighters of interest, it’s highly likely KSI won’t accept Wayne Rooney’s challenge. However, he hasn’t completely dispelled the possibility of the fight occurring in the future, but has made no plans in his future to make the matchup happen.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that the pair have faced off inside the squared circle, after their first bout back in August 2018 ended up a draw. While KSI has that fight to think about first and appears to be very much focused on his opponent, he’s also revealed what could come after. The 26-year-old took part in an interview with JD Sports on October 9, where he briefly explained some of the preparation for the fight, how he’s feeling about his opponent and interestingly, who could be involved in his next match.

I’m sure he doesn’t care about me and ultimately we both want knockouts. “We both want to get the glory because after this it’s not a paycheck, if anything it’s being able to release content and push your career after this fight, do more fights, and you have bragging rights on YouTube for so long.” After this one is all said and done, though, KSI admits that he would like to take on Jake Paul, who is, of course, Logan’s younger brother. That answer in particular will stir up some interest in both fanbases as the two have teased a match repeatedly in the past, with some genuine animosity between them – which KSI also touched on. “Who is next? I’d love to have Jake. I’d love to have Jake. I’d love to break his little skull. I despise him man. I hate him. I actually hate him more than Logan. Yeah, Jake would make sense.” The YouTuber also never ruled out facing some other professional boxers following the match with Logan, and even admitted that the opportunity to join WWE to do some wrestling could interest him in the future. Whether or not that transpires remains to be seen, but a number of interesting mainstream figures have been appearing in WWE programming during the course of 2019 – including British boxer Tyson Fury, former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez and more. Opportunities such as that, though, will be nowhere near his top priority coming into this fight, with the ultimate goal of defeating Logan clearly on show during the pre-match buildup.

  • KSI reveals surprising scrap with Joe Weller ahead of 2018 match – Dexerto

    KSI reveals surprising scrap with Joe Weller ahead of 2018 match KSI, JOE WELLER – YOUTUBEPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji shared a surprising story regarding his beef with fellow YouTuber Joe Weller, which took place in a parking lot ahead of their 2018 boxing match. KSI made a guest appearance on the ‘Happy Hour Podcast’ on January 22, where he admitted that he’d had a threesome with one of Weller’s close female friends prior to their match – which landed him in hot water with his YouTube rival. KSI went on to claim that he purposely harassed Weller on the road after he found out about the affair, nudging into Joe’s vehicle to get a rise out of him. “While we were driving back to Stratford, I just kept like nudging him, literally driving into his car,” KSI laughed. “I think I was just trying to piss him off.” That wasn’t the end of their road rage; KSI claimed that the two later drove into an underground parking garage to square off – with a surprising victor. “After that, we literally had like a scrap in an underground car [lot],” KSI recalled. “…he won that. He won the scrap, yeah.” KSI and Weller later faced off in an official boxing match on February 3, 2018, where KSI ultimately emerged the champion. Since then, the two YouTubers have gone back and forth across social media, with the rivals most recently taking shots at each other due to Weller’s mock boxing match with soccer proJeremy Lynch and an old rap song created by KSI.

  • KSI reveals new opponent after Ivan Nikolov tattoo controversy – Dexerto

    KSI reveals new opponent after Ivan Nikolov tattoo controversy After Ivan Nikolov faced backlash for a “white power” tattoo on his abdomen, KSI announced his replacement opponent for the ‘2 fights in 1 night’ PPV event. KSI was set to fight up-and-coming influencer boxer Alex Wassabi during a pay-per-view event on August 27. However, after Wassabi reportedly suffered a concussion, he was forced to find a new opponent. Dodging a challenge from Jake Paul, KSI announced he would take on UK-based rapper Swarmz. Fans expected an underwhelming bout, but that was before he announced he would be competing in two fights on the same night. Following his face-off with Swarmz, KSI was slated to fight pro boxer Ivan Nikolov. However, when fans discovered a large “white power” tattoo stretching across Nikolov’s stomach, a wave of backlash resulted in KSI dropping the pro boxer from his card. KSI announced Nikolov’s replacement fighter Although Nikolov was no longer a part of the event, KSI wasn’t going to back down from the ‘two fights in one night’ challenge. On August 20, he announced on Twitter that his new second opponent will be Luis Alcaraz Pineda. Pineda is a boxer from Mexico who fights in the Super Lightweight division. He’s participated in seven bouts since 2017 with a record of 2-5. Coming off of four straight losses – the last being in March of this year – and weighing considerably less makes him quite the underdog. KSI’s card has undergone some substantial changes since the event was announced earlier this year. But with a week to go before the fights, he is locked in to fight two opponents on the same night.

  • KSI reveals Prime will be “everywhere in the UK” soon after massive change – Dexerto

    KSI reveals Prime will be “everywhere in the UK” soon after massive change Prime HydrationBoxing superstar and entrepreneur KSI has revealed a key change for Prime Hydration, that will make it far easier for fans to buy the immensely popular sports drink in the UK. In January, KSI and Logan Paul unveiled their collaborative business effort Prime Hydration to the world. With an array of flavors to tantalize your taste buds, the sports drink has been highly sought after across the globe, as the drink arrives in new territories. The demand for Prime has been exponential too, leading it to sell out in the UK as soon as new stock emerges. Amid the intense demand for more products, KSI has revealed that his company may finally meet supply requests in the near future. KSI shares promising update on Prime stock amid sell-outs With Prime only available in a few select stores depending on your location, this has made it difficult to get a taste of Logan Paul co-created sports drink. KSI and Paul are aware of the disappointment fans are facing, and has offered an update on Prime’s production speed. The Youtuber said: “I know a lot of people have been very angry and p*ssed off that they haven’t been able to get Prime in the UK. “The production has been pretty decent but the demand has just been way too high. So, now hopefully we have managed to match the demand,” continued KSI. KSI said that Prime has increased its production “tremendously” and will receive a rollout to more locations in the near future. Specifically, KSI shared that “you will be able to see Prime in ASDA. In the next few weeks, Prime is going to be everywhere in the UK. Everywhere in ASDA.” ASDA is a UK supermarket chain and a subsidiary company of the U.S grocery store and hypermarket chain, Walmart. It remains to be seen whether Prime will be available in other stores in the UK such as Morrisons or Tesco, but this update is a promising leap forward for the beverage.

  • KSI reveals insane amount of money he’s lost to Bitcoin – Dexerto

    KSI reveals insane amount of money he’s lost to Bitcoin YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI has revealed the insane amount of money he put into bitcoin at the end of 2020 and, despite some gains, has made a tremendous loss. Throughout 2021, the British YouTuber has become a huge cryptocurrency fan. He’s openly said that he’s made huge investments, making no secret in his desire to see success in the blockchain. It’s not often we see big celebrities and influencers reveal the extent of their investments, but KSI was incredibly candid when appearing on a podcast. Clearly pained by the progress he’s made in the crypto space, the entertainer revealed just how much he’s put in — and lost. On reality star Jamie Laing’s Private Parts podcast, KSI didn’t hold back in detailing his woes in the crypto market. “I put £2 million into Bitcoin last year, November/December,” he explained to hosts Laing and Alex Mytton, who immediately burst out laughing at the wild amount. He continued: “I made £7 million… Now I’ve lost it all.” Of course, he hasn’t actually lost it all — Bitcoin hasn’t crashed that badly. At its peak in April 2021, one BTC was worth around £46k, which is likely when he was up at that £7m figure. Now, the same coin is worth around £23k, so chances are he’s probably still made a fairly solid profit from his initial £2m investment. It must be frustrating to realize how much money he could have made if he sold at the right time, but that’s definitely part and parcel of the crypto game. It’s not like KSI needs the money either. On top of his YouTube success, he’s sold-out arenas for his influencer boxing matches, and his new album All Over the Place looks set to bring in a decent little windfall too.

  • KSI reveals how low his TikTok earnings are even with 9 million followers – Dexerto

    KSI reveals how low his TikTok earnings are even with 9 million followers YouTube: LADbible TVKSI is a massive online superstar, boasting millions of followers across multiple social media platforms… but his earnings from TikTok aren’t exactly what he expected. KSI is one of the biggest influencers in the United Kingdom. The YouTuber has accrued a combined 39 million followers across his two channels, alongside an additional 11 million followers on Instagram. The British star is also a rising rapper, boasting songs with features from the likes of Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and more — on top of his status as a budding pro boxer with an upcoming bout this August. One of his other major outlets is TikTok, where he’s gained over 9.2 million followers, rendering him a bonafide celebrity on the site that’s known for pumping out viral content. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the viral video app is proving very profitable for the Down Like That rapper. KSI discussed his TikTok earnings during a recent episode of the ‘Sidecast’ podcast, where he claimed his profits from the site aren’t living up to his expectations. First, the star listed off his ‘resume’ on TikTok: “9.2 million followers. 70 million likes. …maybe 200 million plus views. Guess how much I’ve made?” In a twist, KSI’s co hosts from the Sidemen YouTube channel actually lowballed the amount. After tossing out numbers like £1600 or £2100, the rapper revealed that the real number is actually higher than their theorized payout. According to KSI, he’s made only £3,000 from his TikTok channel (around $3778.90) — a shocking amount, considering his prolific profile. (Click the right arrow in embedded Instagram post to watch podcast clip) View this post on Instagram “3,000 pounds though, for the amount of views he gets?” his co host stated in shock. “That’s mad,” another chimed in. KSI isn’t the only influencer getting lowballed by TikTok; in January, YouTube star Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson spoke out about his wages from the platform, saying he’d made just $14,910.92 despite having over a “billion” views. This is how much I’ve made from the TikTok Creator Fund since April 2021 with over 25 million views in that time TikTok as a platform for creators has a lot of potential but I agree with @hankgreen that they really need to sort out their revenue sharing ►https://t.co/cg8FNVqumn pic.twitter.com/hhOz9vjhiZ — Safwan AhmedMia (@SuperSaf) January 21, 2022 This news follows TikTok’s implementation of more upcoming features to help their creators earn money with a LIVE subscription beta, which acts similarly to Twitch Prime subscriptions.

  • KSI reveals how much Twitter/X paid him and it’s shockingly low – Dexerto

    KSI reveals how much Twitter/X paid him and it’s shockingly low YouTube: imPaulsiveKSI has revealed how much he’s made on Twitter/X for August 2023 and it’s pretty shockingly low compared to what you might expect. When Elon Musk finally made a breakthrough with his deal to purchase Twitter – which he has since rebranded to X – he revealed that users could finally start getting paid relative to their standing on the app. Users have the option to subscribe and tip certain Tweeters, but pretty much everyone has the chance to make money provided they hit certain requirements for followers, interactions, and other things. You’d think that creators like KSI, who have made their name on other platforms and have a massive following on Twitter/X would be rolling in cash from tweets. However, he’s revealed that it doesn’t quite stack up against the likes of YouTube. KSI reveals how much he made off Twitter for one month KSI joined his business partner in PRIME, Logan Paul, on episode 392 of imPaulsive to welcome Manchester City star Erling Haaland to their roster of PRIME athletes. Before welcoming the footballing superstar to the show, the pair of internet phenoms discussed their upcoming PRIME card, ongoing beef with Dillon Danis, and the opportunity to make money from Twitter/X. “I get pretty good impressions, in the hundreds of millions, and how much I’ve got for August, the whole of August, $1590,” KSI, who has 9 million followers on the social media platform, revealed. Timestamp of 4:38 Logan added that some people will see the fact he’s made $1500 from Twitter/X as a pretty “cool” thing, but it’s not comparable to YouTube – which is their main income source. “Oh my god, yeah, I’m laughing on YouTube whereas on Twitter I’m like ‘alright, cool, yeah’” KSI concluded. As noted, KSI does have around 9 million followers on the app and each Tweet regularly does over 2 million views, so it feels way under value for what he’s putting out there. Who knows, maybe that’ll change in the future.

  • KSI reveals his Top 15 influencer crossover boxers including Jake Paul, Andrew Tate, and more – Dexerto

    KSI reveals his Top 15 influencer crossover boxers including Jake Paul, Andrew Tate, and more YouTube: KSIYouTube megastar and profound influencer boxer KSI has revealed his Top 15 crossover boxers based on how much he thinks people would care about their fight. Hot off of two wins in one night, influencer turned boxer KSI is already touting his next event in January. The card is set to feature members of the Prime Hydration crew including Logan Paul, Jidion, and more. And while there is plenty of hype already building for the Prime card, influencer boxing fans are throwing names into the ring hoping to see their favorite creators duke it out on a PPV. They want to see the likes of Deji, Jake Paul, and Andrew Tate. Now, the man himself, KSI, has weighed in on who he thinks would create the most exciting if they announced a fight. Top 15 influencer boxers according to KSI On September 4, KSI would post a list of his top 15 influencer boxers on Twitter. However, the list wouldn’t be based on skill. Rather, it would focus on their mass appeal. He wrote, “In terms of interest (Social media & mainstream presence and how much people care if they fight) in the crossover boxing scene, my top 15.” He started the list off with himself at the top, followed by names that have been thrown around every corner of the boxing community. Logan Paul, Jake Paul, and Andrew Tate followed suit, with Deji and more making it onto the list. Of course, fans were quick to share their favorite fighters that hadn’t made the list. They were appalled that creators like Sam Hyde, IShowSpeed, and Joe Weller didn’t make the cut. Regardless, if you’ve been paying attention to influencer boxing recently, you’ll know that the top four names on the list are on everyone’s mind. Fans are dying to see KSI, the Paul brothers, and Andrew Tate in the ring no matter the matchup.

  • KSI reveals how he’ll “destroy” Jake Paul in potential boxing match – Dexerto

    KSI reveals how he’ll “destroy” Jake Paul in potential boxing match BBC Breakfast, YouTube / Brendan Tieger, YouTubeYouTube star and music artist KSI seems set to face off with rival internet celeb Jake Paul for a possible boxing match — and the British content creator already has a solid prediction for how their fight will turn out. Although KSI is best known for his infamous feud with Logan Paul, he has since sparked a substantial rivalry with the “Maverick’s” little brother, Jake. Following KSI’s split-decision victory over Logan in their November 2019 rematch, Jake vowed revenge against the British YouTuber for his brother’s loss and began a vicious beef with him over social media. Things heated up even further after Jake’s win against AnEsonGib in January 2020, where he came face to face with KSI in the boxing ring to further solidify a potential grudge match to end their family feud, once and for all. Although a concrete date and venue have yet to be scheduled for the bout, a fight between these two YouTubers seems inevitable, and KSI claimed he already knows how the match will turn out. In a February 11 interview with BBC Breakfast, KSI claimed he would finish the fight by knockout after a fan asked him if this would be the outcome of their as-yet hypothetical standoff. “Yes, I am going to knock him out,” he answered confidently. “Obviously, he’s a different fighter to Logan, but yeah, I will destroy him.” (Topic begins at 3:16 for mobile viewers) Jake Paul has since seemingly responded to KSI’s comments on the matter, posting a heated rant to his Instagram stories on February 12 where he claimed he would take his rival down in the very first round. “I’m really gonna take KSI down in the first round and all you idiots reading this that don’t believe it are the same idiots who thought Gib was the guy who was gonna beat Jake Paul and steal my legacy!” he wrote. “HAHAHA idiots I laugh at how dumb y’all must feel!” That’s not all: Jake continued his rant even further, claiming that KSI feels his proposed boxing match with him is merely a “game” after “laughing” at critics who predicted Gib as the winner of their January 30 fight. “Please re-evaluate your thinking and I will gladly welcome you to become a fan of mine after knocking the sh*t out of KSI,” he continued. “Kid doesn’t know what he’s getting into. He thinks it’s some game, like Gib did.” For now, it seems that fans will have to watch and wait for any further news of the proposed bout — more specifically, of both KSI and Jake Paul’s confident knockout predictions.

  • KSI reveals his demands for Jake Paul fight amid December 2023 rumors – Dexerto

    KSI reveals his demands for Jake Paul fight amid December 2023 rumors YouTube: Boxing SocialYouTube star KSI has revealed his list of conditions for a fight with Jake Paul as the pair have apparently engaged in negotiations about it happening in 2023. When KSI and Jake Paul were helping kickstart the YouTuber boxing revolution, a fight between the two seemed inevitable at one part in the early days. Though, that didn’t happen. Even though it was KSI who scored the first professional win of influencer boxing, Jake Paul has taken things to another level with his fights against the likes of Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva. The longtime rivals have constantly talked about wanting to make the fight happen, and recently fired up on each other during a Twitter Space amid rumors that they’ve been in negotiations for a fight in late 2023. KSI reveals his demands for Jake Paul fight As it stands, nothing has been confirmed, but both sides have hinted at a clash happening in November or December of 2023, and KSI has a fair few demands to make it happen. “Weight-wise, I’d love it to be 176lb, 177lb, but 180lb sounds perfectly fair, maybe even slap a rehydration clause – I know he’d want that!,” the British YouTuber told Mirror Fighting ahead of his clash with FaZe Temperrr. KSI also noted that it “has to be in the UK” and that he should be the “A-Side” of the fight, meaning he’d enter the ring last and would be the headline name for the clash. Though, he’d want it to be a “50-50” split on the fight purse. Jake recently tweeted that he’d be open to the fight happening in the UK in December, but he wanted KSI to put pen to paper before long. Otherwise, he’d want it to happen in the US. The pair had previously said that they’d want to do the fight at Wembley Stadium, but that wouldn’t be feasible in December given the UK’s weather. Cardiff’s Millenium Stadium would be an option on that front if they really wanted a stadium show as it has a roof. Though, who knows if the pair will actually trade punches after all this time.

  • KSI reveals his TikTok earnings – and it’s not what you’d expect – Dexerto

    KSI reveals his TikTok earnings – and it’s not what you’d expect TikTokDuring a podcast with the Sidemen, KSI revealed his overall TikTok earnings – and is not the amount you’d expect. It’s no secret that creators can make a decent amount of money off TikTok, after all, with so many influencers flooding the popular app, you’d be expecting to see some sort of pay coming in. However, the amount you can get from posting a viral video on TikTok has always been in question, with many wondering how much their favorite creator can actually make on the app. Now, during a podcast with the Sidemen, popular Youtuber and creator of Prime has revealed how much he’s earned from his TikTok videos, and needless to say, it left both the Sidemen and viewers shocked. KSI reveals TikTok earnings – leaving the Sidemen shocked KSI began the video by asking if the Sidemen had taken their earnings out of TikTok, claiming he’d left all his inside the app and is yet to retrieve the funds. Shortly after he asked the Sidemen to guess how much he’d earned off TikTok, providing them with a few details about his TikTok account. “9.2 million followers, 70 million likes, 200+ million views” he explained with the Sidemen guessing lower than the actual amount. Soon after he revealed that he has £3000 sitting in TikTok, which is equivalent to around $3800. “£3000 for the amount of views he gets… that’s mad” exclaimed the Sidemen after KSI revealed the true number. While they were undeniably shocked at the low amount, they went on to explore the hard work many TikTok creators put in if they want to make money with KSI and the Sidemen explaining how KSI’s “posted probably like 40 TikTok’s… they’ll post 5 a day… it’s just how they have to do it and then eventually they’re slowly moving to youtube” While it’s clear KSI doesn’t post a lot on his TikTok, many viewers were still expecting him to earn more, while some explained that “apparently people make tons off the lives” rather than the videos themselves.

  • KSI reveals he will fight Jake Paul on one condition – Dexerto

    KSI reveals he will fight Jake Paul on one condition British YouTube star, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, has confirmed that he is willing to step back into the ring, but this time with Jake Paul – on the condition that the American can overcome his next opponent. KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 was an unprecedented success for both fighters, with both Olatunji, also known as JJ, and Logan expected to take home over $1 million from the fight alone. The successes of the event have rippled through the YouTube and boxing industry, with plenty of personalities looking to make a headline gig for themselves. After KSI’s controversial split decision victory, Logan Paul has since decided to “contest the Commission,” following a two-point deduction from his card. Logan’s brother, Jake, has since taken matters into his own hands by deciding to avenge his brother, as he teased his fans to “stay tuned” in his YouTube video posted on November 13. Fresh after soaking in the spoils of war, JJ was back to the content creation grind. Answering his fans’ questions through his Discord, the Brit was questioned on whether he’d be looking to fight Jake Paul. After being confronted by a Logan Paul fan on the fight’s outcome, the Brit was asked by another fan: “After Gib takes Jake’s head off, are you going to fight Jake?” Without hesitation, KSI responded with: “If Gib loses, then yeah, I’ll fight Jake!” Ali ‘AnEsonGib’ Gib is reportedly in negotiations to fight the Jake Paul, with boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, stating: “We’re talking, me and everybody else, trying to get it done.” AnEsonGib previously fought on the KSI vs. Logan Paul undercard, where he earned his first amateur boxing win (by unanimous decision) versus TGF’s Jay Swingler. Since another rematch between Logan and JJ has already been ruled out, then Jake’s opportunity for retribution will have to be earned. However, given JJ’s insistence on Jake beating Gib before negotiations even begin, don’t be expecting either party to get into the ring any time soon.

    KSI reveals he’s eager to fight Jake Paul: “I will finish you” Instagram: ksi / Instagram: jakepaulKSI has once again chimed in on a potential boxing matchup against Jake Paul, explaining how he would knock the younger Paul brother out if push ever came to shove, and how he’s finally ready to step into the ring with his YouTube rival soon. Just 24 hours after Jake Paul said he was “done” calling out KSI, the YouTube star has added more fuel to the fire. In a recent sitdown with ‘The British Entrepreneur,’ KSI painted the picture of what’s shaping up to be his next boxing showdown. “I will f***ing finish you,” he said bluntly. Whenever the ongoing global crisis calms down to make way for a big crowd, KSI believes he will “finally finish” his feud with the Pauls. A spectacular finish is what he has in mind, as KSI appears to have all the confidence in the world ahead of the potential high-profile YouTube scrap. View this post on Instagram “Even my bro gave him a tough challenge,” he said, referencing Paul’s amateur debut against Deji in 2018. While Paul won that fight via fifth-round stoppage, Deji still made him work for it, according to KSI. “I’d slap my bro easily, so I’m just there like, I beat your older brother so I can beat you.” “I know he fears me,” he added. “[Jake] thinks he’s the sh** because he beat up Nate Robinson. He never boxed in his life. Yes he beat Gib but again… I can beat Gib.” The younger Paul brother is currently locked in for a fight against former UFC contender Ben Askren. KSI, though, could very well be his next target. “He knows I’m on top of the world right now. I’m on a different level to him, he can’t compare to me. Best believe once I can train again, he’s finished.” It’s obviously still early days yet but it seems like there’s no avoiding an eventual fight between these two. KSI even revealed that he intended to fight Jake before his series with Logan. “I wanted to fight [you] first but [you] was too pu***,” he said.

For the last few months, YouTuber, rapper and boxer KSI has been linked with fighting a slew of different opponents before his ultimate challenge of facing Jake Paul in the ring. There have been a ton of names wanting to touch gloves with the popular YouTuber, such as the likes of Tyron Woodley, Slim Albaher and many more. However, following a scuffle at the X Series 003 weigh-in, kicking off an outright brawl between the two parties, KSI and Dillon Danis are officially set to face in the ring. The anticipated bout will take place at MF & DAZN: X Series 004 event at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London on January 14. It’s assumed the event will also be available on pay-per-view on DAZN. Though a BJJ black belt, the bout will be Danis’ debut in the world of boxing following an almost four-year hiatus from fighting, whereas KSI comes off the back of his monumental event winning two fights in one night. “I feel great, it’s easy money to be honest, that’s a little b*tch of a thing, I’m used to fighting real fighters, so he’s not ready for this,” Danis told Misifts Boxing. “I guarantee you I knock his ass out, watch. “I’m gonna hurt him bad bro.

More details on the bout are expected in the coming weeks.

    KSI reveals eyepopping amount of money he lost trading cryptocurrency in 2021 YouTube: KSIUK YouTube sensation KSI has revealed he’s lost an insane $5.1M trading cryptocurrency in the last year. The UK’s king of YouTube KSI has dabbled in cryptocurrency over the past few years. However, it hasn’t all gone swimmingly for the YouTube, Boxing, and Rapping sensation. He’s recently revealed the absurd amount of money he’s lost from his crypto shenanigans in the last twelve months, all from a risky trading tactic known as leverage trading – which essentially involves borrowing money from a broker. In a tweet from his cryptocurrency account on January 17, KSI revealed the insane amount he’s lost in the past year. The YouTube star shared a screenshot of his Binance account which he uses to trade, which showed a loss of $5,112,464 in the last 12 months. During a recently uploaded YouTube video, KSI elaborated on how he lost an absurd amount of money. “Note to self, and everyone watching, never leverage trade. You don’t win, you never win. “In a year of me doing crypto, I’ve managed to lose about $5.1 million,” the YouTuber revealed. “Yeah, my crypto experience has just been a lot of losing. A lot of losing, a few wins, and then a lot of losing.” (Timestamp 5:43) Fortunately, the UK’s YouTube king is pretty well off financially from his business with the Sidemen, his boxing and rapping career, and even his brand new Prime Hydration drink he launched with former rival Logan Paul. However, maybe he’ll think twice before investing in cryptocurrency in the future.

  • KSI reveals beef with Deji has taken a surprising turn – Dexerto

    KSI reveals beef with Deji has taken a surprising turn Popular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji is currently feuding with little brother and fellow YouTuber Deji, after he leaked KSI’s personal bank records during a diss track video toward Sidemen member ‘Randolph.’ KSI took issue with this move during his own reaction video to the track, claiming that he was upset at both Deji and his own parents due to the publication of his financials. However, that wasn’t the only scandal to come out of the situation; Deji also claimed that KSI had gotten a girl pregnant, insinuating that he had even aborted the child. Since then, KSI has blocked Deji on Twitter and Instagram – and now, things have taken an even more dramatic turn. YouTuber Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem reached out to the brothers for comment on the situation in an episode of Drama Alert on December 1, wherein KSI revealed that he had completely stepped away from his family due to the debacle. “I offered counseling, but they refuse,” KSI wrote to KEEMSTAR. “So, it’s one of those things where I just have to bounce for a bit, let the dust settle, and try again later.” KSI went on to admit that everything Randolph had rapped about in his own diss track toward Deji had been based on “his experience” with his little brother, going on to claim that he had “no part” in their feud. Deji appeared to take KSI’s actions very seriously, telling KEEMSTAR that KSI has “taken his friends over his own family.” KEEMSTAR went on to confirm that the beef between the two is 100% authentic. With serious claims like that against each other, it’s no surprise that the brothers are taking a second to cool down.

  • KSI reveals Deji vs Mayweather fight details as possible bout gains traction – Dexerto

    KSI reveals Deji vs Mayweather fight details as possible bout gains traction YouTube: The Pivot Podcast, JJ Olatunji, DejiYouTube boxer KSI has shed a little more light on the rumors swirling about a possible fight between his little bro, Deji, and the undefeated Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. KSI is coming fresh off a massive double-victory after his viral ‘two fights, one night’ event on August 27, where he defeated British rapper ‘Swarmz’ and Mexican pro boxer Luis Pineda. His little brother, fellow YouTuber Deji, fought on the undercard against influencer Fouseytube and took the victory by TKO in the third round in a convincing display of skill. Deji’s win came as a welcome reprieve for the comedy YouTuber, who had lost every fight he’d had since his debut match against Jake Paul in 2018… and fans are convinced he’s got something else even bigger looming on the horizon. Shortly after his win against Fousey, rumors swirled that Deji was slated to face off against Floyd Mayweather, who’d also boxed Logan Paul back in 2021. If true, Deji and Mayweather will fight in Dubai this November. Deji also teased he has a “fight announcement soon” via Twitter on September 13. Although nothing has been officially announced regarding this potential bout, fans are all but convinced that it needs to happen, regardless — and KSI may have just added fuel to the fire. KSI flabbergasted by possible Deji vs Floyd Mayweather boxing match KSI was browsing his Reddit page during a YouTube video on September 20 when he came across a post about his little bro’s possible scrap with Mayweather and let slip that a contract still needs to be signed to make the fight actually happen. “Yeah bro, like, if he pulls this off, then f**k me, man,” KSI laughed. “What is this world? If you told me five years ago – ten years ago – two years ago that Deji was gonna be fighting Mayweather, I would have laughed in your face and gone, ‘Shut up, there’s no way.’.” “If Deji manifes to pull this off – everything gets signed and everything – aw, mate. What a f**kin’ dub.” (Topic begins at 11:52) For now, it looks like things have yet to officially get off the ground for this bout… but it’s clear that fans can’t wait for it to happen. In the interim, YouTube fans can sate their boxing fever by gearing up for Jake Paul’s upcoming match against Anderson Silva this October.

  • KSI responds to UK restaurant taking PRIME Hydration as payment – Dexerto

    KSI responds to UK restaurant taking PRIME Hydration as payment YouTube: JJ OlatunjiA UK-based restaurant has begun taking bottles of PRIME Hydration as payment for their meals, and KSI has had something to say about it. Since releasing PRIME in the UK back in June 2022 with tremendous support, the stock of the popular drink has skyrocketed its value to some people. KSI, who create the company alongside Logan Paul, has explained why it’s near impossible to find PRIME in stores, but that hasn’t stopped fans from selling it for absurd prices when they are lucky enough to find it. Now, a UK-based restaurant has taken it a step further by accepting bottles of PRIME as payment for food, and KSI has something to say about it. KSI reacts to restaurant using PRIME as payment On October 27, LADBible reported that a UK-Based restaurant by the name of ‘The George Pub and Grill,’ has begun accepting bottles of the KSI & Logan Paul-created drink as an alternative payment for meals. Shortly after the article was posted, KSI took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the situation. In the tweet, he posted a picture of the LADBible article as well as text messages between him and his dad. “You lot are doing too much,” he said. “I know it’s mad when my dad is sending me articles about it.” KSI leaks new PRIME Hydration product In the picture showing messages between him and his father, KSI responded: “Lmao people love Prime. Wait till this bad boy comes.” Underneath it, you can see the top portion of what appears to be a KSI-branded bottle which we can only assume is an upcoming product release. Fans quickly pointed it out in the replies, speculating what flavor it could be. The British YouTuber hasn’t commented on the speculation as of yet, but we’ll be sure to update you if he does in the future. In the meantime, head over to our entertainment section to check out more news.

  • KSI reveals another surprising turn in heated feud with Deji – Dexerto

    KSI reveals another surprising turn in heated feud with Deji While it looked like the very much publicized feud between YouTube siblings KSI and Deji had finally come to an end, new information revealed by KSI points to things not being how it looks on the surface. After feuding for almost an entire month, the beef between KSI and Deji looked to have finally come to an end with a video posted by Deji on December 26 stating that they were squashing things in the hopes of keeping their business private. KSI has since revealed, however, that “nothing has been resolved” despite Deji’s claims to the contrary. Following Deji’s December 26 video announcing the end to the beef, he posted another video on December 27 in which he reacts to old comedic videos of him and KSI. While this further let on that the brothers had moved past their differences, a Tweet from KSI less than an hour after that video went life paints a completely different picture. Fam…You’re being fake to manipulate the audience to stop yourself from losing subs. Nothing has been resolved. I asked you to delete the videos attacking me and not to make any more mentioning me, but you still continue to ignore me. @Deji — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 27, 2018 KSI’s statements fall in line with what Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem theorized on December 26, making the guess that Deji’s sudden change of heart had to do with him losing subscribers rather than actually wishing to move past their issues. Deji almost immediately responded to KSI’s Tweet by reaffirming that he is trying to “resolve shit and make things go back to how they were.” I just wanna resolve shit and make things go back to how they were. All you want are my videos taken down https://t.co/bSqM8YvBme — Deji (@Deji) December 27, 2018 Seemingly exasperated by the entire situation, KSI posted on Twitter one last time looking to move on and continue making videos for his own channel. Given the extensive back and forth these two have been known to go through, we’ll likely hear more about this at some point in the near future.

  • KSI responds to rumors that he wants to fight Mike Tyson – Dexerto

    KSI responds to rumors that he wants to fight Mike Tyson YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Instagram: Mike Tyson[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star-turned-pro boxer KSI might have proven his worth in the ring against his rival Logan Paul — but some rumors are claiming that he wants to test his mettle against none other than Mike Tyson. It’s no secret that the Paul brothers are truly amping up their boxing game as of late; with Logan rumored to fight the one and only Floyd Mayweather and Jake being scheduled to fight on the undercard of the upcoming Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. bout, influencers are really making their way up in the fighting world. With this knowledge in mind, it came as little surprise to fans when rumors began circulating that KSI — the famous British rival of the Paul brothers — hoped to face off against Mike Tyson, himself, in wake of the news that Jake Paul was involved. The news began circulating thanks to a self-described “drunk” Mukbang video from the Sidemen, a British YouTube group of which KSI is a part. (Topic begins at 39:55) During the video, KSI apparently claimed that he could knock out a horse with the power of his own punch, as well as a giraffe, and later on, even bragged about being able to take on Mike Tyson — one of the boxing world’s biggest legends. However, KSI was quick to turn to social media to dispute this rumor, claiming that it was merely a joke said during a slightly-drunk video with his mates. “Gonna kill this real quick. I don’t want to fight Mike Tyson,” the YouTuber explained. “The man is a legend. You got trolled from a drunk Sidemen video.” Gonna kill this real quick. I don’t want to fight Mike Tyson. The man is a legend. You got trolled from a drunk sidemen video. — ksi (@KSI) September 28, 2020 Despite KSI’s fervent explanation to the contrary, the internet was quick to troll him, with close friend and video editor Randolph jokingly asking him: “Could you also retract the statement you made in which you said you could knock out a horse?” KSI, getting in on the banter, replied “No” — so while it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any more info out of the YouTube star, it seems that he’s not interested in taking on “Iron Mike” Tyson anytime soon.

  • KSI responds to TommyInnit fans who thought he actually punched Wilbur Soot – Dexerto

    KSI responds to TommyInnit fans who thought he actually punched Wilbur Soot YouTube: KSI/YouTube: TommyInnitYouTube star and rapper KSI has responded to TommyInnit fans who thought he actually punched Wilbur Soot in a setup and staged video. Although TommyInnit and KSI make completely different content for their audiences, the pair certainly don’t mind taking a jab at each other over social media. These interactions between the two over Twitter have formed a feud that both of them like to play up to. None of the beef is serious in any way and is all meant in the name of entertainment. That’s exactly why Tommy decided to meet up with KSI in one of his latest videos to attempt to ‘fight’ him. Of course, KSI was in on the joke and the pair staged a set-up encounter. It was incredibly obvious that the interaction between the two was a joke and in the end, Wilbur Soot took a fake punch from KSI that concluded the video. While the majority of people realized the punch was staged, some of TommyInnit’s fans didn’t exactly get the joke. KSI responds to angry TommyInnit fans After receiving a series of hate tweets from TommyInnit fans who thought the punch on Wilbur was real, KSI has responded in his latest video. It’s obvious the YouTube star is in disbelief that anyone could believe that the ‘fight’ was real. He even points out that Wilbur flicked his head the wrong way after the fake punch, making it extremely easy to see it’s fake. It’s clear KSI has taken the backlash from Tommy’s fans as a joke and blamed it on the fact that they’re too young to understand. “He literally flicks his head the opposite direction to where I punched, and the funny thing is, TommyInnit’s fans thought I actually punched him, that’s how you know they’re just kids.” Topic starts at 16:55 Although some TommyInnit’s fans took the joke a bit too seriously, it’s obvious KSI has just taken it in his stride. It’ll be interesting to see if Tommy and KSI decide to make another video in the future. This time, they might have to make it a bit more obvious if they try to stage another fake encounter, just in case a few of the fans don’t catch on.

  • KSI responds to outrage over Slowthai NME Awards scandal comment – Dexerto

    KSI responds to outrage over Slowthai NME Awards scandal comment KSI, YouTube / Slowthai, TwitterYouTube star KSI has clarified his Twitter comment regarding British rapper “Slowthai,” after the music artist made overtly sexual remarks toward comedian Katherine Ryan at the NME Awards. Slowthai, legal name Tyron Kaymone Frampton, became a subject of controversy across social media due to an incident in which he embraced Ryan on stage and asked her to “smell his cologne,” eventually spiraling his bit out of control. “Babygirl, I don’t want to have to do this to you right now, but everybody… she needs to understand the levels right now,” he said. “…If you want to do something, see me later.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chGFNYzJlsY That’s not all: Frampton later claimed that Ryan wanted him to “tend her flowers” in a later segment, which the comedian brushed off with a humorous, “You are younger than my babysitter.” The situation quickly caught fire across the net, and KSI was one of the many faces to comment on the matter, as he was also an attendee of the awards ceremony. “Slowthai you crazy motherf**ker,” KSI wrote with a few laughing emojis. The YouTuber’s comment didn’t go unnoticed by critics, with one user, in particular, calling out the content creator for appearing to condone Slowthai’s inappropriate behavior. “A man harasses a woman on stage & gets called a ‘crazy mother****er,’” radio host Andrea Zara replied. “Yo @KSIOlajidebt do better. I’ve seen the video… It’s not funny OR acceptable.” A man harasses a woman on stage & gets called a ”crazy mother****er😂” Yo @KSIOlajidebt do better. I’ve seen the video… It’s not funny OR acceptable. https://t.co/kiiV0jYTzs — Andrea Zara (@AndriZara) February 13, 2020 However, KSI was quick to clarify the nature of his post, and clapped back at the critic in a reply tweet: “If you think that’s me condoning his actions, then you’re wrong. Last night he was out of order and should definitely be punished for it. Hopefully, he learns from his mistakes for the future, because he does still have a bright future ahead of him.” If you think that’s me condoning his actions then you’re wrong.

Hopefully he learns from his mistakes for the future because he does still have a bright future ahead of him. https://t.co/ipjL6ztLQ2 — ksi (@KSI) February 13, 2020 Slowthai himself responded to the incident via social media on February 13, where he apologized to Ryan and offered her the title of “Hero of the Year” — the very award he’d accepted at the ceremony. (2/2) katherine, you are a master at your craft and next time i’ll take my seat and leave the comedy to you. to any woman or man who saw a reflection of situations they’ve been in in those videos, i am sorry. i promise to do better. let’s talk here. — TYRON (@slowthai) February 13, 2020 With KSI also standing as a massive face in the UK music scene, it comes as little surprise that he had something to say on the subject, although he made sure to distance himself from remarks that Slowthai himself also deemed as “shameful actions.”

  • KSI responds to PewDiePie’s 2025 boxing challenge – Dexerto

    KSI responds to PewDiePie’s 2025 boxing challenge YouTube: JJ Olatunji, PewDiePieInternet star KSI couldn’t help but laugh after being “challenged” to a boxing match in 2025 by none other than the OG YouTube king himself, PewDiePie. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg may have lost his title as YouTube’s single most-subscribed content creator to MrBeast, but he still reigns as one of the platform’s most prominent influencers — and his comments carry quite a bit of weight. That’s why, when he joked about challenging fellow influencer KSI to a boxing match, the internet instantly perked up its ears… and years later, fans are still waiting on the “fight” to happen. PewDiePie initially commented on a match with KSI several years ago, before his move to Japan. In the video, he reacted to a meme about himself and KSI on his subreddit, which poked fun at how the two creators have matured and become friends over time. PewDiePie “challenges” KSI to 2025 boxing match “We’re gonna have to brawl it out,” Pewds laughed. “We’re gonna have to fight in 2025. I challenge you, KSI, in 2025.” “No I don’t!” he backtracked, almost immediately. “That was a joke. Don’t even slightly take that as real. No. I don’t wanna die.” Kjellberg went on to roast his fellow YouTuber for being unable to play the Alphorn, a large horn that is used for communication across mountains in the Swiss Alps and other regions in Europe (as well as being a long-running joke in KSI’s community). “I find it funny — JJ, who has multiple albums, hit singles, but he can’t play the Alphorn to save his life. He was literally screaming in it. You’re supposed to blow!” While KSI didn’t comment on the idea of a fight with PewDiePie directly, he did have a good laugh at the whole ordeal before hitting back at the Swede’s comments on his Alphorn-playing skills in a more recent video posted in December 2022. “How am I meant to blow the Alphorn?” he yelled. “Look at the size of it, bruv! How am I gonna blow that thing! How is the air meant to travel all the way down to the end to make a noise?” (Topic begins at 2:30) While it’s unlikely we’ll ever see these two face off in the boxing ring, KSI is set to put on his boxing gloves again very soon in his upcoming fight against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis this January.

  • KSI responds to Logan Paul’s surprise invite to his Impaulsive podcast – Dexerto

    KSI responds to Logan Paul’s surprise invite to his Impaulsive podcast Instagram, @KSI / Instagram, @LoganPaulLogan Paul and Olajide “KSI” Olatunji’s beef is possibly the most historic in YouTube history, but the pair seem intent to squash it and do a podcast show together instead. Like an epic written by Homer himself, the KSI and Logan Paul arc may soon go from bloodying each other’s faces to discussing the policy decisions needed for social progress. After years of drama rooted in diss tracks, rants, and a couple bruising boxing matches, their relationship appears to be turning a new leaf. And it all started when Paul screen-capped a YouTube comment requesting KSI’s appearance on the former’s “Impaulsive” podcast and tweeted it out with the suggested emoji and a tag for his rival. In 2018, KSI vs. Logan Paul drew over two million live viewers online and sold out 21,000 seats at Manchester Arena. Their rematch in 2019 lost viewers due to exclusivity deals but was still the third-most watched boxing match of the year on the popular DAZN streaming platform. With both bouts ending with blood and sweat, the first a draw and the second a narrow, split victory for KSI, fans are desperate to know if these two can truly put aside their differences and, instead, duel in a battle of the minds. Given how coy Paul’s initial “request” was, it’s no surprise that KSI played it cool when accepting the invite. It’s unclear when exactly the English YouTuber will next be in Los Angeles, but an Impaulsive appearance is sure to be among his most exciting content ventures once he heads across the pond. As for what prompts this change in tone between the two, there appears to be a certain level of maturation from both sides that has opened the door up for mutual respect. Both undoubtedly respected each other’s hustle as content creators willing to sell the exchange of bodily harm for entertainment’s sake, but KSI has since begun focusing more on his music while Paul has dipped deeper into the public-facing dialogue offered by a podcast. The pod may be hosted by self-professed “idiots,” but Paul and co. have shown proven themselves capable of tackling real issues and discourse. Most recently, the Maverick’s tirade on white privilege and its role in systemic racism was thorough and self-aware enough to earn KSI’s praise. KSI claps and appreciates Logan Paul for supporting BLM You love to see it 👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/SzLhPBJnZR — X7 Updates (@x7updates) June 6, 2020 With a video of Paul clamoring for people to “acknowledge and weaponize” their privilege, KSI responded by clapping and giving him credit: “Well done Logan, man. Well done, bro. For real. Over the years you’ve changed a lot, man, and I have a lot of respect for you for doing this.” It’s clear that the two have moved past their former beef and everyone will surely be curious to hear if they officially squash the beef on a podcast instead of bashing each other’s faces for a third time in the boxing ring.

  • KSI responds to No Life Shaq roasting his “trash” single with Lil Pump – Dexerto

    KSI responds to No Life Shaq roasting his “trash” single with Lil Pump KSI/NoLifeShaqYouTube stars KSI’s latest track “Poppin” attracted a lot of attention on social media – but fellow content creator ‘No Life Shaq’s’ brutal review of the song was by far one of the most entertaining. “Poppin,” featuring Lil Pump and Smokepurpp, already has over 3 million views and counting after debuting on March 26, and almost instantly caught the eye of other content creators. On March 29, YouTuber No Life Shaq uploaded a video reacting to the song, calling KSI’s new single “trash” and joking that it was a prime example of so-called “mumble rap.” When he finally listened to Poppin, Shaq only made it less than a minute in, and looked completely baffled by what he was hearing before cutting it off as soon as Smokepurpp’s verse began. “What’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with this?” KSI asked. “What’s wrong? We’re spittin’, but as soon as you hear Smokepurpp, you’re like, Nnah, done.’” By the end of his review, Shaq looked like he was actually suffering, and begged, “Please, make it stop,” as he slumped down in his chair. “I never knew people would have this reaction listening to one of my songs,” KSI laughed. “Alright, maybe one of my old songs in 2010.” Ironically, Shaq never even made it to KSI’s main verse in the track, calling it quits just before then – but it doesn’t seem likely that would have changed his opinion on it, anyhow. “He’s done, I f**king knew it,” the Brit joked. “He legit just stop. Oh, for f**ks sake man. Unreal. Brilliant.” As things usually work on YouTube, No Life Shaq uploaded a response to KSI’s video responding to his original review, and assured him it was “all love” despite his scathing opinion of his latest song. KSI hasn’t shown any sign of slowing down in his musical career as of late – and based on how popular “Poppin” seems to be on YouTube, we could see many more singles, and reviews from No Life Shaq, coming in the future.

  • KSI responds to Logan and Jake Paul’s clash after Prime was banned from Nate Diaz fight – Dexerto

    KSI responds to Logan and Jake Paul’s clash after Prime was banned from Nate Diaz fight YouTube: KSIKSI has said it’s outrageous that Logan Paul wasn’t allowed to promote Prime at the Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight after the two Paul brothers had a heated dispute. Following Jake’s triumph over Nate Diaz on August 5, the younger Paul brother featured on Logan’s Impaulsive podcast, where the two got into a bit of a heated discussion. According to Logan, DAZN denied the ‘Maverick’ from promoting his Prime Hydration anywhere at the venue — with him unable to even bring a bottle into the arena — something that didn’t sit right with him. Clearly frustrated, Logan raised the issue during the latest episode of Impaulsive, resulting in a bit of a clash between the two brothers. Now, the other Prime co-founder and Jake Paul’s biggest rival KSI has responded. KSI reacts to Logan & Jake Paul’s dispute In a recent August 11 YouTube video, KSI reacted to the dispute between the two brothers, where he called the situation outrageous. “The fact that DAZN didn’t let Logan Paul enter the arena with a Prime bottle or his Prime chain or anything Prime, he just had to go as himself. Outrageous, outrageous,” he said. “Super weird behavior. Why does [Jake Paul] care so much? He’s so triggered by me.” He continued: “You’re insecure about Prime, and you’re insecure about the Prime card being promoted on your event because you want it to be all about you. Which is fine, it’s just weird behavior to try and act like you’re not bothered.” (Timestamp at 13:53) In the same dispute, Logan noted how KSI’s Misfits Boxing events still promote Jake Paul’s fights despite them being rivals. Yet, Jake Paul is reluctant to even help promote his brother’s company. While admittedly annoyed that DAZN promotes ‘The Problem Child’ and his bouts, KSI explained he doesn’t care enough to go out of his way. “We just don’t care that much. Why would have that in the contract saying Jake Paul events can not be promoted on Misfits?” he said. “Why would we care? We just don’t give a sh*t!”” Why would we care? We just don’t give a sh*t!”

  • KSI Responds to Logan Paul’s Sexual Harassment Allegations: “A terrible attempt at trying to knock my credibility” – Dexerto

    KSI Responds to Logan Paul’s Sexual Harassment Allegations: “A terrible attempt at trying to knock my credibility” KSI / YouTubeKSI has responded to Logan Paul’s allegations about sexual harassment that were made after the UK press conference for their boxing match in August. Paul did not take kindly to KSI’s comments about him and his girlfriend, Chloe Bennet, at the press conference in London and recently released a video where he slammed KSI for degrading women and shared a number of old video clips of the Brit, describing the behavior shown as “disgusting sexual harassment”. KSI’s response begins with him saying: “nice try Logan, this whole righteous SJW facade… it just seems a bit forced. It doesn’t seem that genuine at all. Like you said Logan, you’re a dog, and when you back a dog up into a corner, eventually it’s gonna bite, “So this video will be me putting the muzzle on your mouth and shutting down every single point that you’ve made” In regards to his comments about Paul’s girlfriend in an earlier video, KSI says that the “fuck her like a prostitute” statement was a reference to not being allowed to kiss prostitutes, before playing the full clip. He goes on to say that Logan’s video is “manipulation at its finest”, stating that he did not encourage the crowd’s chants about Chloe and saying that the video Logan shares of Caspar Lee’s sister has “nothing to do with me, you’re literally lying”. The YouTuber goes on to say that he already apologized for his comments about Caspar’s sister at the time that they were made, and that he has talked about all of the other clips in past videos. In his “Dear KSI” video, Logan deletes his “No Handlebars” song as a way of showing that he no longer supports the objectification of women. However, KSI takes a leaf out of Paul’s book and shares numerous clips, from videos that are still on his channel, that show similar behavior. KSI concludes with: “In that UK press conference, you couldn’t think of a good comeback on that stage, you couldn’t handle the pressure, that’s why you left, “This was a terrible attempt at trying to knock my credibility and justify you being a coward when you left that press conference.” The war of words between the controversial YouTube stars will come to an end on August 25th when they step into the ring at the Manchester arena. The fight will be a pay-per-view event on YouTube and promises to be one of the biggest in the platform’s history.

  • KSI responds to Jake Paul’s claims he’s “ducking” a fight with him – Dexerto

    KSI responds to Jake Paul’s claims he’s “ducking” a fight with him YouTube: IMPAULSIVE/Jake PaulIn the latest episode of Impaulsive, KSI decided to respond to Jake Paul’s claims that he’s “ducking” a fight with him because he’s too scared to get in the ring. Despite taking on Logan Paul in two blockbuster boxing matches back in 2018 and 2019, KSI finally settled the long-standing beef after making a surprise appearance on Impaulsive. While this came as a shock to a lot of their fans, it’s obvious the pair have developed a level of respect for each other, and no longer feel the need to hold a grudge. However, although KSI’s relationship with Logan is on the mend, his rivalry with his brother is far from over. With Jake Paul making countless statements that KSI is “ducking” a fight with him, the British YouTuber decided to address the topic and explained exactly why he hasn’t stepped in the ring since his second fight with Logan. KSI explains why he’s not “ducking” Jake Paul fight With KSI versus Jake Paul being the most anticipated boxing match when it comes to YouTube fights, it was inevitable that the topic was going to come up during the podcast. After talking about the overwhelming amount of projects he’s been working on, KSI decided to address the claims that he’s been “ducking” a fight with Jake. According to him, it all comes down to how busy he’s been with recently with his music taking off, the Sidemen channel, and his own content. He made it very clear that he wants to be 100% focused on boxing when he decides to commit to a fight, and that’s not a possibility at the moment. “I’ve got the Sidemen channel, I’ve got my own channel, I’ve got the music… that’s why it makes me laugh, Jake Paul’s there like, you’re ducking me, I’m like bro, I’ve got so much going on, all he has is the boxing.” Topic starts at 40:12 Despite this, KSI made it very clear that he was still interested in the Jake Paul fight, but he wants to take on Austin McBroom beforehand to show Jake how much he’s improved. “For me to fight Austin, I need to fight him right now, to show Jake how much I’ve improved, and to strike fear into him.” This is great news for fans of YouTube boxing, as it means two huge bouts are potentially on the cards in the near future. However, as shown by Jake’s recent performances, he’s now a fighter that needs to be taken extremely seriously.

  • KSI responds to Floyd Mayweather tag team match rumors – Dexerto

    KSI responds to Floyd Mayweather tag team match rumors YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has seemingly responded to rumors that he’ll team up with Floyd Mayweather for a tag team match against Manny Pacquaio and Salt Papi. KSI’s boxing career is nearing its end, as the influencer has claimed he’ll retire after taking three fights this year. Thus far, KSI is slated to fight on Misfits x DAZN Series 007, and has claimed he’ll take on the winner of the upcoming Kingpyn Tournament. He’s also hoping to finally face off with either Tommy Fury or Jake Paul in December. However, a new rumor has entered the fray that could be putting a wrench in KSI’s plans… one that pits the influencer against a legend in combat sports. On March 13, boxing promotional company Happy Punch released a fight poster for a tag team match between KSI and Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao and Salt Papi. This bout seemed too good to be true, and given both KSI and Mayweather’s fight schedules for the year, it’s unclear if it could actually happen or not. KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, responded to a fan asking if the bout was legit, saying that he’d “been working on it.” KSI seemingly debunks Floyd Mayweather tag team rumors Now, KSI himself has appeared to respond to the tag team rumors — but his explanation doesn’t make things any clearer. KSI spoke out on the subject in a tweet on March 14, saying “All you need to know is that I’m fighting one opponent on May 13th. This is the only certain thing.” This statement appears to put any rumors of a tag team match to rest, but it’s also possible that his aforementioned plans might not be final, so the tag match may still happen after his May fight. The name of KSI’s upcoming opponent is also still unknown. Fans are convinced that he’ll be facing off with Joe Fournier, but nothing has officially been announced at the time of writing. For now, fans will just have to watch and wait to see what comes of KSI’s next bout as summer approaches.

  • KSI responds to Gordon Ramsay’s brutal review of Prime – Dexerto

    KSI responds to Gordon Ramsay’s brutal review of Prime YouTube: KSI/HeartYouTube star KSI has responded to Gordon Ramsay’s brutal review of Prime as the celebrity chef gave it a “0/10” rating. It’s been a little over a year since KSI and Logan Paul launched their Prime Hydration brand, and it’s safe to say it has become a viral hit across the United States and the UK. While the drink is pretty readily available in the US, it’s been a little more difficult for fans to get their hands on it in the United Kingdom. Resellers have been selling it for sky-high prices, much to the annoyance of KSI, and there have been issues with production. The drink has started hitting the shelves in more stores and has been getting rave reviews. Though when Gordon Ramsay was finally given a taste of it, he was less than impressed. KSI responds to Gordon Ramsay’s review of Prime The Kitchen Nightmares host scored the drink a 0/10 and compared it to the “dregs” of a tiramisu from his pal Gino D’ACampo. That review got onto KSI’s radar for his January 17 video as fans posted Ramsay’s review on the YouTuber’s subreddit. “He’s going to say it’s sh*t innit. It’s Gordon Ramsay, he hates everything that isn’t his,” KSI said before even loading the clip. After hearing the comparison with “dregs,” he was a little taken back. “I don’t know if that’s an insult or if he was complementing Prime…,” he added, laughing throughout. “I think it’s an insult by the way she’s laughing, but like, I don’t know how much of an insult!” Timestamp of 7:40 The YouTube phenom did urge Ramsay to “try the other flavors” and suggested he “might like the new flavor.” Seeing as the chef has linked up with YouTubers for videos before, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him discussing the drinks face-to-face with Logan or KSI. It would be great content at the end of the day, for both sides.

  • KSI responds to backlash over Alex Wassabi fight replacement – Dexerto

    KSI responds to backlash over Alex Wassabi fight replacement YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has responded to criticism from fans after announcing Alex Wassabi’s replacement for his August 27 bout after Alex picked up an injury in training. After almost three years on from beating Logan Paul in his pro debut, KSI was set to make his return to the boxing ring on August 27. However, his opponent Alex Wassabi pulled out of the fight due to a concussion injury. Luckily, KSI’s rival Jake Paul offered to step up to the plate, and fans desperately want to see the fight to happen. Despite Jake claiming he’s been “raging 24/7 for the past 6 days” the 25-year-old agreed to meet any terms, including fighting for free on August 27. Instead, however, KSI announced that Swarmz would be the replacement fighter for the night — a rapper and collaborator who’s previously featured on one of his songs — and fans aren’t too happy. KSI responds to backlash over fight replacement Previously, Swarmz called out the British YouTube star, claiming he would knock him out if the two ever got in the ring. Now, he’ll have the chance to put his money where his mouth is on August 27. With fans criticizing him and Jake claiming it’s the “biggest duck of all time”, the Sidemen star took to social media to explain the situation. “Just wanna say that at the end of the day, the one of the main goals of this first fight was to get rid of ring rust,” KSI wrote on Twitter. “I wanted to prove to myself that I’m a better boxer than I’ve portrayed in the past. If you wanna see, fine. If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway.” Just wanna say that at the end of the day, the one of the main goals of this first fight was to get rid of ring rust. I wanted to prove to myself that I’m a better boxer than I’ve portrayed in the past. — ksi (@KSI) August 7, 2022 If you wanna see, fine. If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway. He continued: “There are still many good fights on this card that I’m excited to see. We are the only YouTube boxing event happening this summer. We’ve had many things try to disrupt this event but still we stand. This is a long term play, and I’ll happily take a small L now for a Big W later.” There are still many good fights on this card that I’m excited to see.

This is a long term play, and I’ll happily take a small L now for a Big W later. — ksi (@KSI) August 7, 2022 Despite the backlash, it looks like we won’t be seeing KSI and Jake Paul stepping in the ring anytime soon, as it seems he’s set on fighting Swarmz. Hopefully we won’t be waiting too long till we finally see the two of them settling the score.

  • KSI responds to concerned fans over “not for human consumption” Prime bottles – Dexerto

    KSI responds to concerned fans over “not for human consumption” Prime bottles PRIMEBritish YouTuber, rapper, and entrepreneur Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has responded to concerned fans after a video surfaced showing huge amounts of PRIME Hydration bottles being destroyed because they were “not for human consumption”. PRIME Hydration has done little but add to KSI’s wildly successful career. The drink, founded alongside once boxing rival Logan Paul, has been so popular there are ongoing issues with its supply, especially in the UK. The Brit has even been forced to respond to the emergence of a “black market” for PRIME, as well as an instance wherein a store took PRIME as payment for goods. On 25 November, KSI found himself once again fielding questions about his hydration product, this time relating to a video showing pallets of PRIME drinks being destroyed as a result of being “not for human consumption”. Naturally, there was concern among fans as to what could have caused the large-scale disposal of PRIME drinks. Thankfully, KSI himself was on hand to offer a swift explanation. “You lot don’t miss anything,” he joked, before explaining: “The manufacturer put too much electrolyte blend in an ice pop batch so we got our quality team to have them destroyed. We quality check every batch, so this is just part of the game lol. RIP to those Prime bottles.” Some did suggest that the disposal of PRIME drinks that don’t meet requirements may be contributing to the supply issues, but KSI’s difficulty in procuring his own product suggests the popularity of the drink is the main reason for stock shortages. In a slightly earlier tweet, he revealed his struggles in getting PRIME for friends and family: “It’s actually so mad right now. I’m tryna get Prime sent to my friends and family however delivery drivers are just not delivering them. Instead they’re stealing them at the post office/from the van… OVER A HYDRATION DRINK?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON PEOPLE.” Hopefully, moving forwards, PRIME will become more readily available so even its own founder doesn’t have issues getting hold of it.

  • KSI responds as South Park mocks Prime Hydration with new special – Dexerto

    KSI responds as South Park mocks Prime Hydration with new special YouTube star KSI has reacted to South Park appearing to mock Prime Hydration in their upcoming special episode. KSI and Logan Paul put their differences aside to come together and create Prime Hydration in early 2022. The once former rivals could’ve never anticipated what it’d become today, as just under two years on the brand has reached some major milestones. In early November, the company revealed it had sold over 1 billion bottles to fans, and not only that, Logan Paul claimed that Prime’s internal revenue was over $1.2 billion in just 2023 alone. As Prime continues to take over the market, the company has partnered with some of the biggest names in sports, where recently they signed one of the NFL’s most popular players in Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, it appears that South Park is going to be taking a dig at the two YouTubers and the Prime brand in a new special episode on Paramount+. South Park parodies Prime Hydration in new episode On December 18, fans began to spot advertisements promoting South Park’s newest episode, which is set to debut on Paramount+ on December 20. One advertisement shows fan-favorite characters Kyle and Kenny holding a ‘Watermelon Strawberry’ “Cred” bottle that looks striking similar to that of Prime’s ‘Strawberry Watermelon’ flavor. With hype beginning to pick up, it caught the attention of KSI himself, who was shocked, to say the least. “LMFAO NO WAY,” he wrote on Twitter/X. Similarly, his fans were surprised too, although many noted that the writers are poking fun at Prime, rather than promoting it. The advertisements for the episode are unmistakably catered to the kids in South Park, telling them to buy the product. Although it notes the beverage “isn’t suitable for children” — likely referencing backlash Prime has received over concerns about its safety for young people.

  • KSI instantly hits back at Jake Paul mocking him after drink launch with Logan – Dexerto

    KSI instantly hits back at Jake Paul mocking him after drink launch with Logan YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Instagram: jakepaulYouTuber KSI has responded after Jake Paul shaded him in an Instagram post congratulating brother Logan on he and JJ’s ‘Prime Hydration’ drink launch. Jake Paul and KSI have been trading blows online for a while now, and with the pair both having stepped into the ring as part of influencer boxing matches, fans are constantly wondering when the two stars will eventually set up their own bout. In December, Olatunji said “I will, to this day, tell you that I still feel like I could beat Jake Paul,” but added that an actual fight between them is “not gonna happen anytime soon.” However, it looks like Paul remains keen to face off against his fellow content creator, after he shaded KSI in an Instagram post congratulating brother Logan on the launch of he and JJ’s new Prime Hydration sports drink. “Congrats on this launch @loganpaul,” Jake wrote in an Instagram story. “Hopefully now @ksi can get his lazy ass in the gym and get hydrated for an ass-whooping.” KSI was quick to respond to the YouTuber’s shade, however, reposting Jake’s story on his own, with simply the caption: “Go f**k yourself.” Paul made waves in December when he defeated Tyron Woodley with a knockout in the sixth round in their highly-anticipated rematch, and since then fans have been watching keenly to see who he could possibly end up in the ring with next. He’s revealed that his boxing bucket list includes big names likes Floyd Mayweather, Tyson Fury, and Dana White, though whether he ends up actually fighting anyone from his list remains to be seen. Regardless, it seems as though he’s still interested in facing off against KSI, and there’s no doubt that that would be a match to remember if it ever goes ahead.

  • KSI responds after IShowSpeed complains about 2023 Sidemen Charity Match invite – Dexerto

    KSI responds after IShowSpeed complains about 2023 Sidemen Charity Match invite YouTube: JJ Olatunji, IShowSpeedYouTube star KSI joked that he doesn’t want IShowSpeed getting invited to the 2023 Sidemen Charity Football Match after being “owned” by the American influencer at last year’s event. British YouTuber, rapper, and boxer KSI and his group of friends, called ‘The Sidemen,’ host an influencer football match every year with the goal of raising money for charity. Dubbed the ‘Sidemen Charity Match,’ this football game is one of the highlights of the year for content creators and their fans — and the hype is already building for 2023’s event. However, one creator in particular is getting a bit miffed that he hasn’t received an invite yet, but KSI joked that he isn’t too keen on having this person get involved after his performance at last year’s match. KSI jokes he doesn’t want IShowSpeed at Sidemen Charity Match Popular streamer IShowSpeed dominated the 2022 Sidemen Charity Match, particularly when he went up against KSI. In fact, Speed dominated the game so much that KSI openly admitted he got “owned” by his American rival. Now, it looks like the skills he displayed last year are giving KSI some pause when it comes to extending an invite his way. During a live stream, Speed expressed some distress about not getting an invite for this year’s match after it was announced just a few days prior. “Bro, I still haven’t gotten an invitation yet!” Speed exclaimed. “Last year, chat, they invited me to play. They haven’t even invited me yet.” “Aw bro, I don’t want him to come back!” KSI joked in a Reddit video on June 2. “I don’t want him to come back. This brother is a loose cannon! He’s outrageous!” After watching the clip, KSI went on to clarify that they haven’t actually sent out invitations to anyone and urged Speed to be patient. “First of all, we ain’t even invite anyone!” he said. “Chill, man! We’re still trying to decide who gets to play and who doesn’t. So relax! …But I’m voting against Speed, I can’t lie, bro.” (Topic begins at 11:15) Of course, KSI was just joking — but the jury’s still out as to who we’ll see get on the pitch until the time comes.

  • KSI responds to yet another emotional outburst from Deji – Dexerto

    KSI responds to yet another emotional outburst from Deji Deji, KSI / YouTubeYouTubers KSI and Deji Olatunji might be brothers, but their near-constant online feuding proves that blood isn’t everything – especially considering Deji’s latest video on their recurring beef. Deji uploaded an emotional video to YouTube on June 18, simply titled, “I can’t do this anymore.” The YouTuber accused his older brother of lying in his June 3 response video, which ran over an hour long and debunked nearly every one of Deji’s prior claims – and included allegations of physical and mental abuse over the years. Despite KSI’s thorough explanation, Deji argued that he had lied to their fans, later bursting into tears and claiming that he was tired of “being seen as the bad guy.” “I’ve been taking shit for so long,” Deji yelled through tears. “And I’m not doing this anymore. I’m tired of being the nice guy. …I don’t care. If people see me as a wimp or a pussy, I don’t care. If you think I’m just doing this for attention, I don’t care.” KSI later responded to Deji’s outburst with a short message on Twitter, writing, “How can I help a man that doesn’t want to be helped?” That wasn’t all; queries made by Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR produced more responses from KSI, who claimed that he’d never known about his brother’s romantic involvement with the girl he’d slept with, as alleged by Deji – and even claimed that he didn’t trust Deji enough to handle matters over a phone call. “Fam, he didn’t even try to talk to me privately,” KSI messaged KEEMSTAR. “I told him to text me, ‘cause I don’t trust him calling. ‘Cause he’ll just record our conversations.” 600https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAb2GOMFw8c This latest drama follows the brothers’ initial spat in late 2018, after Deji used KSI’s bank records for a diss track. From there, the two engaged in a heated, months-long dispute, which ended with Deji removing his diss track against KSI from YouTube – which he placed back online months later, prompting their current feud. With the brothers not being able to find common ground, it looks as though their strained relationship might never be repaired – with KSI himself even doubting his ability to reach Deji, as stated in his Tweet on the subject.

  • KSI releases long-awaited diss track, Quadeca gives lukewarm response – Dexerto

    KSI releases long-awaited diss track, Quadeca gives lukewarm response One of YouTube’s biggest rivalries just turned up the heat with the release of Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji’s newest diss track called ‘Ares.’ After both ‘Quadeca’ and ‘Dax’ dropped a pair of viral diss tracks over the last couple weeks, fans have been anxiously awaiting an official response from KSI. While he did do a reaction video on November 27, it wasn’t until December 4 that fans got a true response in the form of a brand-new diss track from KSI. The track was first teased by KSI on December 3 with a cryptic Tweet containing a picture of a crown and cape. It all became clear once he dropped the track on his YouTube channel, as he wore the getup throughout the entire video while proclaiming himself as the “King of the Drama.” KSI doesn’t hold anything back in the video, mainly seeming to think he’s on a higher level than both Quadeca and Dax. A common theme throughout the track is that neither rapper was anything before they entered a feud with him. At one point, KSI even alludes to Quadeca’s breakup with his ex-girlfriend, saying “Where is your Isabella? Shorty left and you’ve struggled to hold it all together. While KSI certainly pulled no punches in the video spectacle, Quadeca doesn’t seem to be very impressed with the track, laughing it off in a Tweet posted after it dropped. Given there is still plenty to be said and tons of bad blood between the YouTubers, this more than likely won’t be the last we hear of this beef.

  • KSI responds after Bradley Martyn blasts his workout: “You get in the ring” – Dexerto

    KSI responds after Bradley Martyn blasts his workout: “You get in the ring” IG: KSI / BradleyMartynBritish rapper and boxer KSI has responded after YouTuber and bodybuilder Bradley Martyn blasted his workout, telling him to “get in the ring” himself. KSI’s meteoric rise in the boxing world has been nothing short of incredible. While many raised their eyebrows when he first got in the ring with Joe Weller back in 2018, he now has a number of lucrative fights under his belt, as well as the Misfits brand itself. He is currently building towards a scrap with Dillon Danis. However, the fight at Misfits 004 has now been thrown into doubt after Danis claimed KSI’s camp has been trying to insert a rehydration clause into the mix late on. As part of his prep, KSI uploaded a video of him squatting. His form was quickly roasted, with YouTuber and bodybuilder Bradley Martyn among those criticizing his workout. KSI responds to Bradley Martyn roasting his workout In his January 3 YouTube video, KSI offered a response. Martyn said that KSI’s squat was so bad he must be “trolling”. KSI, though, pointed out he’s not a bodybuilder and is instead training for boxing. “This was my form, keep in mind I’m not a bodybuilder,” he said. “This is for boxing. Alright, this was 130kg I think, for three. So I did that and fam, let’s see what Twitter said. Bradley Martyn: “Nah you’re trolling”. Where did this smoke come from? Bradley, come on bruh.” Timestamp: 6:45 He claimed Bradley is “being that guy” and encouraged him to get involved in boxing himself: “I put ‘I’m not a bodybuilder Bradley’. He replies ‘I hate to be that guy’, but you’re being that guy. You’re being that guy… I’m like bro, chill. You get in the ring. You get in the ring. Let’s see how your front squat does in the ring.” Bradley hasn’t responded to the comments but, given his physical prowess, we would love to see him get involved in a Misfits event in the near future.

  • KSI rejects Astrid Wett’s NYE invite: “Fair play, but no” – Dexerto

    KSI rejects Astrid Wett’s NYE invite: “Fair play, but no” YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI has once again rejected Astrid Wett, with the streamer and influencer boxer reacting to Wett’s viral TikTok of her inviting KSI to spend NYE with her. KSI has once again shot down OnlyFans model Astrid Wett, the content creator reacting to her recent TikTok in which she asked him to come to her NYE party and “stay over” in the spare bedroom. In the TikTok, Wett once again shoots her shot with KSI who have now created a small backlog of moments in which she has attempted to garner his attention. KSI once again shot her down though. He began by simply responding “no” to her offer, laughing it off and then revealing that “I mean, I didn’t go but what.” And while KSI might not be interested in Astrid, he did acknowledge and respect her for using the previously viral moments as a way to continue to get views. “Astrid get your views man. Fair play but no.” Astrid Wett and KSI drama dates back to end of 2022 Back in October 2022, a video of Astrid trying to kiss KSI went viral after the latter quickly deflected the kiss. “Astrid Wett tried to kiss me, and I said ‘Nope! Not today!’” KSI laughed when recounting the moment in a video. “But yes, I did turn down Astrid Wett, which is crazy, because old KSI would have lapped that up. …Now, your boy’s grown, your boy’s mature.” “A lot of people were asking me what was going through my mind during this situation. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it. I was thinking like, Oh my god, she’s about to kiss me! What the f**k? Nah!” At the time of writing, Wett is yet to respond to KSI’s reaction. However, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop if she does clap back at his rejection. For all the latest entertainment news and content, check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

  • KSI Releases Footage of Final Boxing Session Before Fight with Logan Paul – Dexerto

    KSI Releases Footage of Final Boxing Session Before Fight with Logan Paul KSI – YouTubeNotable YouTuber, rapper, and white-collar boxer KSI gave fans a look into his training regime just ahead of his hyped grudge match against controversial social media star Logan Paul. KSI’s training video featured a session with MVP Michael ‘Venom’ Page, an English kickboxer, light heavyweight boxer, and mixed martial artist. “It’s not all about power,” Page said to KSI at the start of their session. “It’s about speed.” Page provided KSI with a light-based training exercise, wherein KSI followed a series of flashing lights and hit them with his hands as quickly as he could to train his reaction time. Page then challenged KSI’s claim that he could perform an ‘unlimited amount of chinups.’ Unfortunately, KSI was only able to pull off ten reps before tapping out: Page performed fifteen before calling it quits, with KSI laughingly telling him, “You might be showing off a bit.” Of course, that was only a warmup; the real session began soon after. Page demonstrated a few techniques that he felt would help KSI in his upcoming fight. First, Page went over fundamentals, going over KSI’s movement and jabbing. He appeared to be quite impressed with KSI’s quick learning and energy, remarking that he should “Calm down,” with a smile. “I’m just showing you what I’ve got!” KSI responded. The two likewise discussed Logan Paul’s boxing style, with Page emphasizing the importance of KSI knowing his opponent. He then set him to the sandbag, where KSI threw out a long series of punches, much to Page’s satisfaction. “Dead,” Page responded, looking to the camera and making a cutting motion over his neck. “You finished him.” KSI’s training session showcased his skill and preparation for the approaching match. With a professional MMA fighter so delighted at his progress, fans can expect a strong showing from KSI on August 25th.

  • KSI receives surprise help from four-weight world champion boxer – Dexerto

    KSI receives surprise help from four-weight world champion boxer KSI/YouTubeIn the run-up to his rematch in the ring against fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has revealed that he’s received help from a four-weight boxing world champion to avoid a similar result to their first match. KSI and Logan Paul’s first bout, which took place in Manchester, England on August 25, 2018, was an amateur match, complete with headguards, that went the distance, culminating in a six-round majority draw. The tie was immediately disputed by fans of each boxer worldwide, with many believing that the fight should have gone either way. But it was only moments after the match that both fighters appealed for a rematch to prove who the rightful winner is, with KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 being fought as a professional match at LA’s Staples Center. Just three weeks before the rematch is due to take place, boxing YouTube channel The Mayweather Channel spoke with KSI about his upcoming fight and the training he’s receiving, before the camera panned and the Brit revealed legendary Filipino boxer Nonito Donaire had shown up to give him some tips. “He just came through and told me some gems,” KSI said. “This is why I love coming to places like this, because there’s nothing like it. You just have world champions come through and say ‘why don’t you try this, why don’t you do that?’ One small thing has improved my boxing IQ tremendously.” When asked what it means to have people like Eddie Hearn, Jeff Mayweather and Donaire behind him, KSI said that it “means the world to him,” but all that matters is performing in the ring. Though KSI didn’t reveal the gems that Donaire had given him, having the help of a four-time World Champion isn’t something to scoff at; it could be the difference between a win and a loss on the night. KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 is set to take place on November 9, 2019, in Los Angeles, with a number of as-yet-unannounced fights on the undercard to prelude the main event. It’s been heavily rumored that another YouTube match between AnEsonGib and Jake Paul will take place, while boxers such as Billy Joe Saunders and Devin Haney are confirmed to be fighting on the night. Opponent Logan Paul faced some trouble at the London Press Conference, being threatened with “acid and knives” as well as coming under fire due to his comments about abortion.

  • KSI refuses Bryce Hall fight offer: “I gotta up the levels” – Dexerto

    KSI refuses Bryce Hall fight offer: “I gotta up the levels” YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Bryce HallKSI has refused an offer from Bryce Hall to have a boxing match after the UK YouTube star’s fight against rapper Swarmz, saying that he will have to “up the levels” after his next fight. KSI was due to get revenge for his brother, Deji, with a fight against Alex Wassabi in London on August 27th, but Alex pulled out with a reported concussion, leaving KSI searching for a new opponent. KSI made the announcement that he would be fighting rapper and former collaborator, Swarmz, in the bout, saying that the match is simply to see where he’s at currently and shake off his ring rust. The announcement, though, drew some criticism, from people accusing him of taking an easy fight against someone with no experience. On August 11, TikTok star Bryce Hall revealed that is “100% down” to fight KSI on two weeks’ notice without a training camp but that a separate contract he has prevents him from doing that. “Trust me, I begged for it & even paid $5k in lawyer fees to find a loophole,” he said. “But the second I wrap this movie I’m ready to sign the contract with KSI’s team.” A few hours later KSI responded, saying that “We can spar, but brother, after swarmz I gotta up the levels.” Bryce came back almost immediately, saying that they can set up a sparring session and film it, obviously confident in his abilities and showing them off to the world again. KSI has made clear that his aim is to fight Jake Paul eventually, and they have tentatively agreed to face off at some point in 2023, though nothing is set in stone yet. If he wants to reach Jake Paul’s level, though, KSI will have to keep setting his sights higher in the coming months — and he clearly doesn’t believe Bryce Hall is a step in the right direction.

    KSI reacts to song “Down Like That” hitting top 10 on UK Charts KSI – YouTubeOlajide “KSI” Olatunji is more than a mere YouTuber: the internet star has begun his professional boxing career with a victory and even stepped into the music industry, with his latest song making a major splash. KSI dropped his song “Down Like That” just days before his infamous boxing rematch with fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, which featured such names as Rick Ross, Lil Baby, and S-X. While KSI has released a number of songs before, this marks his first track with features from a slew of top hip-hop artists – and its success isn’t going unnoticed, gaining over 11 million views on YouTube and even hitting the Top 10 on UK music charts. On November 29, KSI’s “Down Like That” reached #10 on the UK Charts and even hit #1 on the region’s iTunes Charts, prompting a heartwarming celebration from the YouTuber-turned-rapper concerning his musical success. “This just shows how powerful the YouTube community is, man,” KSI said of the development. “I love this community so much. …I TRULY know how powerful this community is, it’s just all about letting the world/mainstream know.” FAM.

I TRULY know how powerful this community is, it’s just all about letting the world/mainstream know 🙌🏿🙌🏿 pic.twitter.com/3kC2kT7TQD — ksi (@KSI) November 28, 2019 That’s not all: KSI went on to publish an Instagram video on the subject, where he revealed even bigger aspirations for his music career by hoping to hit #1 on the official UK Charts, rather than tenth place. “From the beginning, man, I knew! I knew how f***ing nuts we are!” KSI exclaimed. “And now your boy is number one! Oh man, this s**t’s too mad, man. Thanks to everyone who’s supporting. …Let’s aim for number one on the official charts! We might as f***ing well!” (Video courtesy of @thebreadbatch on Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bBZYwgZOh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link It seems that KSI has had a highly successful fall season, considering his boxing win and the subsequent boom of his latest track, which received a music video two weeks after its release that is chock full of special effects. With both Jake and Logan Paul inching toward careers in professional fighting and KSI making a splash in the music biz, it seems that some of YouTube’s biggest faces are turning aside to focus on bigger prospects.

  • KSI reacts to troll allegedly selling his $500,000 Beerus chain on Ebay – Dexerto

    KSI reacts to troll allegedly selling his $500,000 Beerus chain on Ebay KSI, YouTubePopular YouTuber KSI is known to flex his wealth, after uploading a video in 2018 buying a $200,000 watch and another spending $10,000 on shoes – but one of his most expensive possessions is a one-of-a-kind necklace. KSI revealed his $500,000 “Beerus” chain in early March, modeled after the character of Dragon Ball Super fame and the subject of his rap single of the same name. He’d had the chain custom-made from the same vendor who had sold him his watch, which included 2,000 stones of such gems as sapphires, yellow diamonds, and even 18 karat gold in what took over 550 hours of craftsmanship to achieve. KSI later admitted that he didn’t keep the medallion in his home, claiming that he’d locked it away in a safe at a bank, instead – but one internet troll claims to have pilfered the YouTuber’s incredibly expensive status symbol. A Tweet surfaced on June 23, with a poster claiming to have found the chain for sale on Ebay, a popular site for auctioning off various items. https://t.co/duJOXVfQHP chains going for a fiver, not a bad bargain considering he bought it for 500k — Freezy (@Calfreezy) June 23, 2019 KSI’s reaction to the claim stirred hilarious discourse online, with the YouTuber simply writing, “Yo, wtf is this?” While some commenters truly believed the chain had been stolen, a quick look at the item description shows what appears to be an obvious troll, with the poster naming the jewelry “KSI’s BEERUS CHAIN – HELLA DIAMONDS.” That’s not all: the poster went on to call the chain’s style “stupid,” with it’s main color being “shiny,” even writing that Sidemen member Miniminter comes with the purchase. “THIS IS 100% LEGIT, NO TROLL,” the poster wrote. “CBA TO COUNT HOW MANY DIAMONDS, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE. THERE’S LOADS. P.S I DID ROB THIS FROM THE BANK IT WAS BEING KEPT IN.” The item was still up for grabs at the time of KSI’s posting, with over 90 bids having been placed on the chain – but the item has since been removed from the site, likely at KSI’s behest. KSI is set to face off against rival YouTuber Logan Paul in November 2019 – a fight that has been delayed, with Paul claiming that he’s taking his time to maximize profits for both parties, should KSI actually lose his chain.

  • KSI and rapper Dax arrange boxing match during heated argument – Dexerto

    KSI and rapper Dax arrange boxing match during heated argument KSI, YouTube / Dax, TwitterPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and rapper Daniel ‘Dax’ Nwosu Jr. could be set to throw down in the boxing ring, after exchanging a few heated blows over social media. While the two YouTubers have a history of beef, their feud took a step further after Dax called out KSI on Twitter, insinuating that he would travel to London to scrap with KSI. “If KSI says my name in one more video, I’m hopping on a plane to London,” Dax wrote. Want me to pay for your flight and accommodation? :joyful::joyful::joyful: https://t.co/FRYLu8oWGS — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) February 24, 2019 KSI appeared to be up for the challenge, asking if Dax wanted him to pay for his “flight and accomodations” for the trip. Dax went on to lay out a series of demands, to which KSI responded by requesting that their potential fight take place in a series of six, three-minute rounds. Only if we’re sparring for 6 rounds x 3 minutes when you’re here. Need to make you say sorry again innit 😉 https://t.co/UKs2CG7PjD — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) February 24, 2019 Despite the challenge, Dax didn’t back down, and even claimed that he would start training for their fight the following week. KSI then asked Dax to DM him his passport details – apparently sealing the deal. DM me your passport details and I’ll sort you out a nice 3 day trip. Good luck fam https://t.co/e6guTLu7J4 — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) February 24, 2019 Dax and KSI’s beef isn’t new; Dax appeared on Deji’s diss track toward KSI in 2018, when the brothers were in the midst of a bitter family feud. While Dax went on to claim that he’d merely used the track as a means to “play” KSI, he later challenged him to a boxing match on Instagram live, prompting KSI to create a video mocking the rapper in early February 2019. Now their rivalry has come to a head, although it looks like fans will have to wait for more details on their upcoming match – if the two weren’t merely blowing smoke, that is.

  • KSI reacts to BRIT Award nomination on Late Late Show with YUNGBLUD – Dexerto

    KSI reacts to BRIT Award nomination on Late Late Show with YUNGBLUD YouTube: KSI / BRIT AwardsYouTube star, music artist and pro boxer KSI has clearly grown past his roots as a FIFA player, but even he can’t believe his own nomination at the 2021 BRIT Awards alongside music artist YUNGBLD. KSI is arguably one of the internet’s most multi-talented content creators. Starting out with hilarious low-budget skits and video game reactions, the British YouTuber has since become a massively popular influencer with a hugely successful music career. Scoring features with the likes of Rick Ross, Lil Pump and even Waka Flocka Flame, it’s safe to say that the Platinum-selling KSI has truly become a force to be reckoned with in the music biz — enough so that he’s even been nominated for a major award. The 2021 BRIT Awards are set to recognize the best of the UK’s musical talent, as well as other artists worldwide. Among such nominees as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino and more, KSI has also been named… and he couldn’t believe it. KSI was invited on the Late Late Show with James Corden to discuss his nomination for British Single with Mastercard for his song ‘Lighter,’ alongside fellow nominee YUNGBLUD, where they both admitted that their nominations were totally unexpected. “I couldn’t believe it,” KSI laughed. “I was literally just like, ‘Really? Why?’ Obviously, I’ve been doing alright with the music, but I think it’s cool that I got acknowledged for an award. For ‘Lighter,’ the song did really well, and it’s mad how much I’ve progressed in music.” If you thought KSI’s BRIT Nomination was impressive on its own, he even let Corden in on an “exclusive” secret about his upcoming summer album; his song “#2” will feature a “face-melting” collaboration with none other than Future and 21 Savage, making for a truly star-studded feature that no one saw coming. Thus far, it looks like fans are pumped about his current musical success — but KSI isn’t shying away from his content-creating roots, also promising to “knock out” Jake Paul once he’s finished wrapping up his forthcoming tour and other music prospects.

  • KSI questions Tommy Fury’s boxing future after he “struggled” to beat YouTubers – Dexerto

    KSI questions Tommy Fury’s boxing future after he “struggled” to beat YouTubers YouTube: imPaulsiveKSI suggested that Tommy Fury should perhaps move on from influencer boxing matches after he “struggled” to get rid of the YouTube star in their fight. After Tommy Fury defeated Jake Paul back in February and claimed he was on his way to destroying YouTube boxing, it seemed only right that he’d fight KSI in his next bout. That ended up being the case, and while Tommy ended up beating KSI via unanimous decision, the British reality TV star was less than impressive in victory. Despite getting the judge’s decision, the public feeling was that the YouTube star had a case to win the fight. So much so that he’s even appealed the result and is looking to get something going his way. KSI says Tommy Fury “struggled” to beat him Well, in the midst of that, KSI has suggested that Tommy might want to consider something other than boxing, seeing as he “struggled” to fulfill his promise of knocking him out. “I think it’s crazy. I saw a clip somewhere where Tommy Fury was saying if KSI lasts six rounds with me I’m going to quit boxing. Bro, legit, he struggled against two YouTubers and he’s a pro boxer! He’s been boxing since he was six,” the YouTube star said during his appearance on imPaulsive. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but what are you doing?” KSI also added that he found it “funny” that there was a majority of people who thought he’d won the fight. “Even Jake. Even Tyson Fury, he was there like ‘Oh s*it man’. He didn’t look confident.” Timestamp of 34:30 As for what he’s going to do next, the PRIME co-owner said he’s “retired” for now, but is open to fighting Jake Paul down the line – if only to finish their story. His longtime rival is back in the ring on December 15 against an, as of yet, unnamed opponent. Jake also has an MMA deal with PFL to commit to, so it remains to be seen if he and KSI will ever meet in the ring.

  • KSI returns to Twitter a week after ‘quitting’ – Dexerto

    KSI returns to Twitter a week after ‘quitting’ YouTube: KSI/TwitterAfter KSI publicly announced that he’s stepping away from Twitter due to the rise of ‘cancel culture’ on the platform, the YouTuber has returned, saying he plans to use the app “from time to time.” When it comes to drama, it’s fair to say Olajide Olayinka “KSI” Olatunji has been through it all. From multiple boxing matches with various online personalities to a feud with BTS’s army of fans, he’s certainly no stranger to controversy and confrontation. Despite having a massive reach on social media and over 6 million followers on Twitter, the YouTuber announced on March 25 that’s he’d be leaving Twitter. KSI quitting Twitter over cancel culture In an unexpected tweet, KSI announced that he’d be leaving Twitter due to the prevalence of cancel culture on the platform. This is no doubt in part a response to the backlash he received after being accused of making transphobic jokes during a Jackbox stream. Read More: How does KSI make money? – He voiced his opinion that the platform as a whole has changed for the worse in recent years. “Twitter used to be an amazing place where you could connect with people… now it’s just full of pretentious people that are ready to cancel & destroy your legacy for breathing incorrectly.” Twitter used to be an amazing place where you could connect with people in different communities & communicate without any problems. Now it’s just full of pretentious people that are ready to cancel & destroy your legacy for breathing incorrectly. And on that note, I’m out 👍🏿 — ksi (@KSI) March 25, 2021 Although the announcement came as a shock to a lot of KSI’s fans, his previous tweets did suggest he was growing tired of the platform. Just hours before his departure, he posted a tweet that labeled PewDiePie as “ahead of the curve” for leaving Twitter back in 2019. KSI doubled down on his claims and elaborated on the reason behind his decision in a follow-up YouTube video. “I just think it’s crazy that the standard people have over [on Twitter], especially with people who are well known or famous,” he said. “They expect you to be perfect [and to] literally [make] no mistakes [or have] no problems ever as if we’re not human.” “Plus, Twitter is just so negative. It’s so depressing looking down the timeline [and] just [seeing] people complaining about sh*t left, right, and center and just hating the world. Why would I remain on an app that depresses me even more?” KSI returns to Twitter While many assumed that the YouTuber had left Twitter for good, he surprised everyone when he returned on April 3. “Who missed me?” he wrote. KSI addressed his return by saying, “This app is still super dry but I’ll just use it from time to time.” While there were some tweets posted from his account in the week since he announced his departure, the posts were largely promotional content relating to his music, with the creator taking a noticeable step back from the site. Whether these new tweets mean that KSI is making a full return to the platform is unclear, but his Twitter break didn’t last as long as many thought it would.

  • KSI promises limited edition Prime bottles if Arsenal wins Premier League – Dexerto

    KSI promises limited edition Prime bottles if Arsenal wins Premier League ArsenalKSI has promised to release limited edition Prime Hydration bottles if Arsenal wins this season of the Premier League. KSI makes it no secret that he is a lifelong supporter of The Gunners. From his early FIFA days, constantly donning the Arsenal jersey in his Ultimate Team videos, to regularly making content about Arsenal, he’s an avid fan. He even went on a famous rant about the team when they lost to Burnley. Thus, it was a match made in heaven when Prime, the drink company he started with Logan Paul, signed a partnership deal with The Gunners in July 2022. Now, with this season of the Premier League slowly coming to an end, KSI has promised to release limited edition Prime bottles if Arsenal wins it all. “If Arsenal manage to win the Premier League this season, Prime will release these limited bottles” he shared on May 8 with a picture of the new designs. The bottle seems to be the Tropical Punch flavor with the Arsenal logo on it. However, the exact flavor is yet to be confirmed so do take that with a grain of salt. Naturally, since the Premier League has quite the competitive fanbase, various supporters of other clubs joked that the bottle won’t be seeing the light of day. “So you won’t be releasing the bottle is what you’re saying,” one commenter wrote. “Guess we’re never seeing this bottle then,” another joked. However, Arsenal is second on the Premier League table at the time of writing, just one point away from Manchester City in first place. And if Arsenal does win this season of the Premier League, it would be their first time since the 2003/04 season to grab the trophy, and possibly a limited edition Prime bottle.

  • KSI promises to “change boxing forever” ahead of huge Misfits announcement – Dexerto

    KSI promises to “change boxing forever” ahead of huge Misfits announcement DAZN / KSIBritish YouTube star KSI has teased a huge announcement, claiming his boxing promotion, Misfits, will “change boxing forever.” KSI has made significant strides in creating and transforming the world of influencer boxing into what it is today. Stemming from a white-collar bout with Joe Weller almost five years ago — a feud that has recently reignited — nobody could’ve guessed where it’d be now. In his efforts to push the scene forward, the YouTuber has even created his own boxing promotion, Misfits Boxing, ahead of his return to the ring last year. Founded alongside his manager MamsTaylor, as well as Kalle and Misse Sauerland from Wasserman Boxing, Misfits recently revealed that they even signed a five-year partnership deal with DAZN Boxing. Now, the YouTube star is ready to unveil his next major announcement. KSI teases huge Misfits Boxing announcement In a recent tweet, the PRIME Hydration co-founder teased his fans with a huge announcement. Set to be revealed on January 30, the YouTuber claimed Misfits is going to “change boxing forever.” “This Monday, Misfits is gonna change boxing forever,” he wrote. “This has NEVER been done before on the big stage. Watch this space…” Nobody knows what the YouTuber has up his sleeve next, but It’s clear KSI has huge ambitions for influencer boxing. He recently revealed his goal is to make Misfits bigger than the WWE and maybe even overtake the UFC. However, we know one thing for sure — influencer boxing is going to be sticking around a little while longer.

  • KSI predicts Logan Paul will get “obliterated” at UK press conference – Dexerto

    KSI predicts Logan Paul will get “obliterated” at UK press conference KSI, Logan Paul Vlogs – YouTubeYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to throw down in one of the net’s most highly-anticipated boxing rematches yet – and while their first press conference was described as “disappointing,” KSI has a big prediction for their next meeting. The KSI vs Logan Paul 2 press conference took place in front of the Los Angeles Staples Center on September 14 to ample fanfare, with a crowd of fans jockeying for position in front of the stage as the two social media giants stood off for the first time in over a year. However, KSI noted that Logan Paul stepped onto the stage to quite a few boos, as told during his reaction video to the conference on September 19. That’s not all: KSI also noticed many fans cheering his name, causing him to make a major prediction ahead of a possible second conference on UK turf. “I thought that was crazy,” KSI said of the chanting. “It felt like there were more KSI fans than Logan fans. I’m in your hometown, Logan, and I’m getting more love, like what the f*ck’s going on? …when he comes to the UK, he’s gonna get absolutely obliterated.” (Timestamp: 6:25 for mobile viewers) Although no news of a second press conference has yet been announced, it wouldn’t come as a surprise: the YouTubers likewise held two press conferences in 2018 ahead of their initial rematch, one of which caused an actual riot on UK soil. KSI’s prediction follows a historic trend, with Logan Paul having walked off the stage during their previous UK conerence amidst shouts of “f*ck the Pauls.” “I was supposed to sit here and answer your questions, but I feel like KSI addressed everything,” Logan said in response. “I’m out. I’ll see you August 25.” Paul himself spoke on this moment during his own reaction to their September 14 conference, comparing his walkout to KSI’s unbothered demeanor a year later. “I sat down, you could see in my face I was kinda sad,” Paul explained. “I didn’t really want to be there. I wasn’t having the best day ever, I was kind of tired.” (Timestamp: 16:20 for mobile viewers) With their rematch less than two months away, tensions are growing ever higher as the two train to settle their beef once and for all – but word is still out on what could be a second press conference for the rivals.

Featuring some of the biggest influencers, KSI’s Misfits Boxing has put on some action-packed events alongside DAZN. The second event of 2023 featured the first-of-its-kind tag-team boxing match, where Luis Pineda and Anthony Vargas went to blows with BDave and Ice Poseidon. It’s fair to say fans absolutely loved the first tag-team match, and they’re already proposing future match-ups. Among those include KSI teaming up with business partner Logan Paul against the controversial Tate brothers. KSI reacts to tag-team match with Logan Paul against Tate brothers In a March 10 YouTube video, the British YouTuber responded to a Reddit post by a fan, suggesting that KSI and Logan Paul should tag-team against Andrew and Tristan Tate. The YouTuber was thrilled by the proposed idea and even went as far as to say that the fight could be the biggest pay-per-view ever, or he could even take both brothers on by himself. “Fam, where would this be? Live at the Romanian prisons?” the YouTuber joked. “Bro, this would be crazy. Probably the biggest pay-per-view of all mankind. Could be bigger than me versus Jake, could be bigger, but it’s up there. “God damn we would destroy the Tate brothers. I don’t even think it would be a challenge, I think we’d just breeze past them. I think I could take on both of them myself.” Timestamp at 4:32 While the fight is unlikely to happen given the current circumstances with the Tate brothers, last year, KSI said he’d “love” to take on Andrew Tate in 2023. The controversial influencer is also open to stepping into the ring with the British YouTuber.

  • KSI praises Logan Paul’s “huge” WWE WrestleMania 37 appearance – Dexerto

    KSI praises Logan Paul’s “huge” WWE WrestleMania 37 appearance YouTube: WWE / KSIBritish Rapper and YouTuber KSI has praised his one time boxing opponent Logan Paul after the American appeared at WrestleMania 37. KSI and Logan Paul’s boxing matches were some of the most viewed boxing events of all time. The feud between the two appears to have receded, though, after KSI took home the win in the pair’s rematch. Since their second fight in November of 2019, both men have been broadening their horizons. KSI’s music career has gone from strength to strength, while Logan appeared on the WWE’s WrestleMania coverage. He was, once again, playing the villain, pushing Sami Zayn to the floor and raising Kevin Owen’s hand in victory. Owens, though, responded with a Stone Cold Stunner onto Logan, who was left sprawled on the canvas. It was an appearance that, despite their one-time differences, impressed the British YouTuber. Speaking about the moment in an April 15 YouTube video, KSI was full of praise for the performance of Logan, describing it as a “huge” moment for the American and his career. “Yeah this is huge for f**king Logan man,” KSI said. “WWE you know. Look at that, bang. And he sold it well, as well… That’s sick, I’m happy for him.” He even compared Logan’s reaction to the Stone Cold Stunner to that of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, praising the way the American sold the knockout. Timestamp for mobile users: 7:23 While the two appear to have laid their feud to rest, Logan’s younger brother Jake is in the middle of one with ex-MMA fighter Ben Askren. The pair will meet in a Cruiserweight boxing match on the night of April 17, 2021. KSI, on the other hand, is experiencing unprecedented successes with his music. He did weigh in on the Askren/Paul fight, asking the ex-UFC man to “do the world a favour” and knock Jake Paul out. We’ll find out if he can soon enough.

  • KSI predicts Jake Paul will “absolutely destroy” Tyron Woodley in August boxing match – Dexerto

    KSI predicts Jake Paul will “absolutely destroy” Tyron Woodley in August boxing match YouTube: Jake Paul, JJ OltaunjiYouTube star KSI has made a surprising prediction for his rival, Jake Paul, ahead of his upcoming boxing match against former UFC champ Tyron Woodley — although it’s not exactly the high praise it seems to be. KSI is one of Britain’s biggest influencers, and arguably, one of the biggest in the entire world. The YouTuber is also a budding pro boxer and an accomplished music artist, with his latest album debuting at #1 on the UK Official Charts. Following his famed rivalry with YouTuber Logan Paul, it seems that he’s got a new rival in his sights in Jake Paul, who has repeatedly accused the British content creator of “ducking” a match with him. Unfortunately, KSI’s music career is keeping him too busy for a fight at the moment… but that isn’t stopping him from throwing shade before they finally throw down in the ring someday. When asked about Paul’s upcoming match against five-time UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley — Jake’s fourth professional boxing match thus far — KSI had a surprising (and super shady) response. “I think Jake Paul’s gonna win,” KSI answered. “Because every time I’ve said Jake Paul’s gonna lose, he wins. Same thing happens with crypto. I go, I’m feeling bullish, and then it tanks.” “Jake Paul’s gonna win,” he continued. “He’s gonna absolutely destroy Tyron Woodley.” However, when it comes down to if he really wants Jake to win or not, KSI is decidedly against his opponent seeing another victory after his previous wins against former professional athletes and fellow content creators. “Do you think I want him to win?” KSI asked facetiously. “I haven’t wanted him to win for years, and he keeps winning, so at this point it’s like, alright, calm. Do your thing, innit? Do your thing, you’re in your element. You’re in your moment.” It seems like there’s little love lost between these two YouTuber-boxers — but whether or not Jake will actually come out on top remains to be seen. Jake Paul is set to face off with Tyron Woodley on August 29 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

    KSI praised for stopping concert to help a passed out fan YouTube: Unlimited Music – DJ George / BBCYouTuber, rapper, and boxer KSI might be feeling overworked lately, but that didn’t stop him from pausing one of his recent concerts to bring medical attention to a fainting fan. KSI is one of Britain’s most popular influencers, and a well-known face on YouTube the world over. Boasting a combined 37 million subscribers, KSI has come a long way from his beginnings as a FIFA-playing internet funnyman. Now, KSI is an accomplished music artist, having made three albums and scoring some major features with the likes of Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Offset, and more. Add his internet fame to the mix and it’s safe to say he’s accrued quite the fanbase for himself. Recently, KSI was touring across Europe, and the work had been taking quite a toll on him. The influencer notably vented his frustrations with his never ending schedule of to-do’s on Twitter, admitting that he was feeling more than a bit burnt out. That’s not all; KSI even canceled a concert due to fatigue and was encouraged to rest by a doctor. However, that hasn’t stopped him from continuing on with the tour in January… but despite some fans angry over the rescheduling, one woman made sure to shout out the rapper in a heartwarming Tweet. On October 12, a mother claimed that her son had passed out at one of KSI’s recent shows and stated that the YouTuber had leaped from the stage to bring him medical attention. “Think it was being too excited and emotional after he met him, now that is a top bloke!” she wrote.

KSI himself responded to the video, writing, “Glad he’s okay.” This moment has garnered a lot of praise for KSI online, with many commenters remarking on the rapper’s humility and generosity for completely halting a show to help one of his fans — something not unlike singer Billie Eilish’s recent callout to security during her performance at the Governors Ball.

He quickly paused the video after seeing Fousey and said: “Damn! Fousey! Oh, sh*t. Bro, he’s jacked. Why can’t Deji get an easy fight? Bro, why is everyone always jacked or in good shape whenever they fight Deji? “For some reason Deji always makes his opponents turn up.” (Topic starts at 3:06 during the video) Fousey’s first and only boxing match so far was in 2019 against Slim Albahner, where he suffered a devastating loss. It appears that the YouTuber is working hard not to suffer the same consequences on August 27.

The two internet superstars are due to step into the ring on August 25 at the Manchester Arena, England, and KSI’s confidence is at an all time high.

He thinks he’s the shit and I’m about to fuck him up and literally put him in his place”. KSI has fought in one ameteur boxing match, beating Joe Weller, another popular YouTuber, handily in what quickly became one of the biggest events in YouTube’s history and broke records as the biggest white collar boxing event in history. Read More: Jake Paul Makes it Clear You Won’t be Able to Watch Free Streams of the KSI vs Logan Fight – While it might seem like a far fetched idea for an individual to go professional in boxing after just two ameteur fights and a year of training, KSI has a record of finding success in whatever he turns his attention to. The 25-year-old, who has over 19 million subscribers on YouTube, believes it would be an “amazing story to have a YouTubing gamer, a FIFA gamer back in the day, who would never look at boxing, is now able to train for a year and a bit and literally be a professional boxer. I think that would be a huge story”. If KSI’s day on August 25 ends with his hand held aloft, there’s no knowing what the future might hold.

Kicking things up a notch lately, the internet celebrity has even featured big-name artists on his tracks, from Rick Ross to Lil Pump. Continuing the trend, his latest release, Houdini, features Swarmz and Tion Wayne, two popular British artists. However, Pokimane appeared to take issue with the track upon her first listen, and now KSI has fired back. “She’s moving a little bit, look at that!” KSI said, excited to see a fellow YouTuber getting into the rhythm of the track right from the beginning. As the British YouTube star got into his first verse, however, Pokimane’s reaction changed. Instead of bobbing her head to the beat, she appeared confused while listening to KSI’s first few lines. “Why is he singing like he’s Jamaican?” Pokimane questioned. “When I hear this song, it just sounds like two entirely different people.” “So I have to sound the exact same in every song that I produce?” he responded. Jokingly taking issue, KSI went on to rant about the progression in his music. “If I literally sounded the same as I did with Lamborghini, I don’t think people would enjoy my music anymore. You have to show progression, you have to show that you’re mixing it up.” Comparing his musical diversity to the likes of Drake, KSI explained how he’s often put in a box, purely because he’s a YouTuber. While Drake is praised for venturing into new genres and releasing different styles of music, KSI appears to be shunned by one of his peers for trying the same thing. “I am a YouTuber, it’s wrong. I have to stick to what I do from the beginning,” he said sarcastically. “I’m not gonna lie, I’m the kind of person who likes this kind of music. But when I listen to this, it could be anyone.” KSI seemed taken aback, and threw a deadpan look at the camera. “This motherf***er,” he said at the top of his lungs while laughing. The relevant section of the video can be found at the 5:16 mark for mobile viewers. Eventually, she started singing along to the chorus and appeared to come around to enjoy the tune, despite her initial gripes. “This is Pokimane, this is how she always is. If she likes this, then that’s a huge plus,” KSI added. While other reactions throughout the video might have been even more critical, KSI is convinced that Pokimane will soon have Houdini in her daily rotation.

  • KSI outraged as PRIME “black market” emerges with drink resold at absurd prices – Dexerto

    KSI outraged as PRIME “black market” emerges with drink resold at absurd prices Instagram: drinkprimeYouTube star KSI has hit out at the PRIME ‘black market’ as eager fans continue to show overwhelming demand for the drink he and Logan Paul founded. Earlier this year, two former enemies in KSI and Logan Paul banded together to release PRIME Hydration, a brand-new drink. It’s easy to say that PRIME was a hit with the fans, with the initial US launch exceeding expectations. Furthermore, the drink’s UK debut in June had absolutely mind-blowing support. However, despite hitting the ASDA shelves months ago, to this day it’s almost impossible to find in-store — thanks to those wanting to capitalize and resell the drink. In an October 22 tweet, KSI once again acknowledged the insane demand from PRIME, and revealed his frustrations with the “black market” that has formed around the drink, where fans are reselling the beverage at an extreme markup. “This annoys me so much. We’re trying so hard to increase the supply as much as possible to try and combat the black market selling,” KSI wrote. In the tweet, the YouTuber also attached screenshots of an eBay listing showing a single PRIME being sold at £14.95. In contrast, it’s sold at British supermarket ASDA for £2.00. “Me and Logan ain’t made any money from Prime. It’s all going back into the business to increase the supply,” he added. “We’re trying people.” Demand is so high for the drink that stores have begun making it harder for “young people” to buy it — imposing restrictions such as not allowing children without a parent or guardian inside the store after 7:30 pm. Regardless, KSI has made it clear that changes are on the way, claiming that “PRIME will be everywhere” soon.

  • KSI and Piers Morgan reignite #TheRealKingOfTheInternet rivalry – Dexerto

    KSI and Piers Morgan reignite #TheRealKingOfTheInternet rivalry KSI, The Last Leg – YouTubeUK broadcaster Piers Morgan went head to head with popular YouTuber KSI in a bid to see who was the “real” king of the internet ahead of his fight with Logan Paul – but their “beef” is far from over. KSI announced the release of his album ‘New Age’ on April 11, which quickly rose to the top of iTunes and garnered over 10 million streams in the process. The YouTuber published an excited Tweet once the album dropped, prompting Piers Morgan to take a good-natured jab at KSI’s musical success. Reigniting their “King of the Internet” feud “How much money will you make from it?” Morgan asked, provoking a humorous response from KSI. “Oh, fuck off Piers,” KSI retorted. Morgan then made a cheeky reference to their previous “feud” on British television, writing, “Calm down, mate, it’s not my fault I’ve got nearly two million more followers than you… #RealKingOfTheInternet.” Calm down mate, it’s not my fault I’ve got nearly 2 million more followers than you… #TheRealKingOfTheInternet :punch::joyful: https://t.co/D8OuEnXYnB — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 12, 2019 The story behind their Twitter “beef” Despite KSI’s internet fame, Morgan noted that he’d amassed two million followers more than the YouTuber during a broadcast on Good Morning Britain in summer 2018. This inspired a hilarious contest between the two in a bid to test their online stardom, with each personality Tweeting out, “I am the king of the internet” to see who could get the most retweets by the show’s end. In a not-so-shocking turn of events, KSI emerged the victor, amassing over 18,000 retweets compared to Morgan’s 12,000 retweets. Their recent “Twitter feud” wouldn’t be the first time Morgan had inquired about KSI’s monetary success, either; during the show, Morgan asked KSI how much money he made from being a famous YouTuber. Rather than flexing his personal wealth, KSI remained humble, merely answering with a modest, “I’m doing alright.” KSI vs Logan Paul – when is the rematch? KSI’s appearance on Good Morning Britain preceded his boxing match with controversial YouTuber Logan Paul in August 2018, which resulted in a draw that set up the two for a rematch in 2019. Despite this certainty, details of their rematch have been few and far between, with a leaked contract allegedly scheduling the fight for February. However, that time has since passed, with KSI announcing their bout for November of 2019 – much to Logan Paul’s apparent dismay, who even accused his rival of breaking the terms of their contract.

  • KSI opponent claims fight is off after “white power” tattoo backlash – Dexerto

    KSI opponent claims fight is off after “white power” tattoo backlash Boxrec/YouTube: DAZNIvan Nikolov, the pro boxer added to KSI’s August 27th fight card, has suggested that he’ll no longer be fighting the YouTuber amid backlash over his “white power” tattoo. August was supposed to be a pretty big month for YouTuber boxing events, but things haven’t quite gone to plan for either KSI or Jake Paul. While Jake’s fight was canceled due to weight issues, KSI’s highly anticipated clash with Alex Wassabi was scrapped after the latter suffered a concussion during his training camp. As a result, KSI drafted in Swarmz as a replacement but upped the ante when he revealed he’d be fighting twice in one night. For his second fight, the British YouTube star revealed that he’d be taking on journeyman boxer Ivan Nikolov – who holds a 3-16-2 record. Though, the Bulgarian has suggested that will no longer be happening. Ivan Nikolov claims KSI fight has been scrapped Shortly after KSI revealed he’d be fighting the 43-year-old, fans quickly pointed to him having a tattoo that reads “white power” across his stomach. Though, Nikolov has played down any racist connotations. However, amid the backlash, the Bulgarian fighter has seemingly been dropped from the card. That’s according to The Jungle of Sports, a Bulgarian boxing outlet, which claims that Nikolov told them that he’d tried to “distance himself” from the backlash. “I was about to knock out this deceptive rooster. The problem came from DAZN TV, not the rapper,” Nikolov said on Facebook about the fight, sharing the report. While there has been no official word from either DAZN or KSI just yet, Nikolov has since been removed from one of the posters advertising the fight. The graphic, which was posted by DAZN, still references the fact that KSI will fight twice in one night, but only has Swarmz listed as an opponent now. It remains to be seen as to what will happen to KSI’s plans for the event, but to this point, it seems as if they are looking to draft in a replacement. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

  • KSI officially debunks Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao tag team rumors – Dexerto

    KSI officially debunks Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao tag team rumors Twitter: HappyPunchPromo / YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube boxer KSI has officially debunked rumors that claimed he’d be teaming up with Floyd Mayweather in a tag-team match against Manny Pacquiao and Salt Papi. KSI is one of the most prolific names in the influencer-boxing game, having kicked off the trend with his matches against Joe Weller and Logan Paul back in 2018. After a nearly two-year hiatus, he’s back in the ring — but his grand return has sparked a few big rumors pertaining to his potential future opponents. Earlier this month, Happy Punch boxing promotions leaked a fight poster on Twitter that announced a tag team match between KSI and Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao and Salt Papi. At the time, this fight had not been officially revealed, leaving fans quite excited and curious to see if the matchup was real or not. KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, claimed he’d been working on the event — but a subsequent post from KSI threw the entire ordeal into question. “All you need to know is that I’m fighting one opponent on May 13th,” he wrote on Twitter. “This is the only certain thing.” This seemed to debunk the viral fight poster, which, when paired with Mayweather’s 2023 boxing schedule, looked more and more unlikely… but now, the possibility has been officially quashed. KSI says Floyd Mayweather tag team match is “not happening” KSI officially addressed the tag team fight rumors in a YouTube video on March 21, where he was quite clear that the viral bout will not be taking place. “It’s not happening,” he said. “I’m gonna dead it now. It’s not happening, and we’ll leave it at that.” (Topic begins at 19:26) That doesn’t mean that such a match wasn’t ever in the works, though, especially considering Mams Taylor’s post claiming he was working to make it a reality. For now, it’s clear that this tag team bout simply won’t come to pass in spite of fans’ wishes. This latest news follows KSI’s recent apology to former Misfits Boxing host Wade Plem, who caught flack from the British boxer for his comments on Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury 2.

  • KSI opens up about meeting his girlfriend on Tinder – Dexerto

    KSI opens up about meeting his girlfriend on Tinder JJ ‘KSI‘ Olatunji has always remained very secretive about his personal relationships, but he has now opened up about how he met his current girlfriend online and how they came to be. KSI is hot off the biggest event in YouTube history, his successful boxing rematch against Logan Paul in November 2019, which ended in a victory for the Brit via split decision. Despite being one of the biggest personalities on the face of the earth right now, he manages to keep his personal relationships to himself, with past girlfriends rarely being seen in the public eye. Now, though, in an interview with Hollywood Life, KSI has finally spoken about his current girlfriend and how their relationship became what it is. After being asked how he and his girlfriend first met, KSI said: “We met through Tinder. I broke up with my other ex, like, two months ago, and I was like ‘I’m just going to go ham on Tinder.’ I was going to just go through girls.” He continued: “During that time I met her, and I was seeing other girls at the time, but I just kept gravitating towards her. I just liked her company a lot. And eventually, I started to really like her.” The YouTube star didn’t say much else about their relationship, returning back to his more secretive self, but that may be the most KSI has spoken about his girlfriend publicly since they got together. Elsewhere in the video, he also discussed his ongoing familial struggles with his brother, Deji, which he says is improving but some issues remain, saying that it “takes two to tango.” He also speaks a lot about his music, the Logan Paul fight and his love of anime – as well as discussing whether the Sidemen will be running another charity football match any time soon. KSI’s insistence on keeping his private life private has been a huge source of interest from his devoted fanbase, who want to know exactly what is going on behind the scenes. Although this doesn’t answer a whole lot, maybe we’re seeing the start of JJ opening up more about what he’s got going on outside of his creative endeavors.

  • KSI offers free PRIME to students after school bans influencer drink – Dexerto

    KSI offers free PRIME to students after school bans influencer drink Instagram: drinkprimeBritish YouTube star KSI is promising “a truckload” of PRIME Hydration for students after their school allegedly banned the drink from campus. KSI and Logan Paul ended their infamous rivalry to create a competitive sports beverage called PRIME Hydration earlier this year. The drink is available in most major retailers across America and the United Kingdom, and just recently launched new ‘Hydration Stick’ packets to go along with their seven drink flavors. PRIME has had a fairly successful reception among fans and consumers: In fact, its launch in the UK saw a massive fan turnout that prompted other meetups to get canned due to the sheer amount of people who showed up to celebrate. It looks like this trend has continued after one UK school apparently banned PRIME Hydration from its campus, according to a recent tweet from KSI. KSI promises “truckload” of PRIME for students after school bans drink from campus On September 28, the YouTuber shared a screenshot from an email supposedly sent to a student announcing that PRIME was no longer allowed on campus. “PRIME drinks are now a banned item,” the email reads. “DO NOT bring them into school. They will be confiscated if found or seen, and you will be sanctioned with a -3.” The email also reminded students that the sale of any items was banned and would result in a suspension. KSI isn’t having it. In response, he promised to pull up with an entire “truckload” of PRIME for students who weren’t allowed to have the bev at their school. “A school had the AUDACITY to ban Prime, leaving their students dehydrated,” he shared on Twitter. “To counter this blatant wrongdoing, we’ll be sending a truckload of Prime to this school and many other schools. Just retweet this tweet to represent your school to get some Prime.” It’s unclear if fans will get to see KSI’s newest endeavor in one of his upcoming videos — but until then, he’s celebrating the success of the viral Sidemen Charity football match that took place over the weekend.

  • KSI offers Logan Paul a new date and rules for rematch – Dexerto

    KSI offers Logan Paul a new date and rules for rematch YouTuber Olajide “KSI” Olatunji hinted at a possible future date for his rematch with social media star Logan Paul in an Instagram post – where he also laid out suggestions for new rules. The Instagram post in question was a short video containing clips from their initial match on August 25. KSI captioned the post, “Rematch next year, June? Eight rounds this time, so the bell can’t save you. 😈” KSI’s suggestion of eight rounds pokes fun at Paul’s apparent lack of stamina toward the end of their August 25 fight, which featured 6 rounds in total. While Paul hasn’t made an official response to KSI’s callout, he posted a telling picture of himself on Instagram next to the Roman colosseum, with the caption, “Possible venue for the next fight? 😏🥊” KSI’s suggestion for June 8 lines up with a previous statement made by his boxing trainer, who revealed that organizers were looking for a date in April or May of 2019. While Paul’s post could hint at another European venue, a leaked contract of the event revealed their bout to be a two-fight deal, with the first fight taking place in the UK and the second to be held in the U.S. However, the contract likewise set the YouTubers’ second fight for February of 2019, which doesn’t appear to be holding true thus far. While their fight ended in a draw, adding an extra two rounds could provide a more climactic ending to the rivals’ well-documented beef.

  • KSI offers James Charles a way to “save” his career – Dexerto

    KSI offers James Charles a way to “save” his career Olajide William ‘KSI‘ Olatunji, well-known for his bout with fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, offered up a boxing match for James Charles to save his career following his record pace of losing subs. James Charles, after being called out in a video by Tati Westbrook for his behavior, finds himself in an interesting position as he has been rapidly losing YouTube subscribers for the past several days. He started at 16 million subscribers but is now down to 13 million and is still losing subscribers by the minute. This led to KSI offering James a way to potentially save his sinking channel. KSI against Logan Paul. Is anyone willing to box James Charles? In true KSI fashion, he offered to set up a boxing match for James Charles to save his now struggling career. This is of course in a reference to KSI’s boxing matches with Logan Paul and Joe Weller, tow things that ended up being a lot more popular than they really should have. It’s highly unlikely James Charles would actually agree to a boxing match but you can’t say KSI didn’t do his part to help. If you need a boxing fight to help save your career, I’m here bro @jamescharles — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) May 12, 2019 James Charles has been losing subscribers at a record pace and has now been surpassed by Jeffree Star as the top beauty YouTuber. Although an apology video was released, it didn’t really help prevent him from losing subscribers so maybe he might actually have to think about scheduling a boxing match. James Charles has been losing subs very fast on YouTube. Why is James Charles losing all of these subs? All of the drama started when Tati Westbrook released a 43-minute video detailing a lot of James Charles’ behavior like flirting with straight men, promoting a competing vitamin brand and other things, just revealing James Charles isn’t exactly who he said he was. Following this, Charles began to lose subscribers while Tati gained them. PewDiePie argued Tati might be using this controversy to push her own brand and he has problems with the video. Whatever the case may be, it looks like James Charles is hurting right now and there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight.

  • KSI offered fight by former boxing world champion as they beef online – Dexerto

    KSI offered fight by former boxing world champion as they beef online KSIYouTube star KSI has been called out by former boxing world champion Ryan Garica, with the lightweight offering him the chance to fight While plenty of boxing fans and pundits have dismissed influencer boxing events, there have been a few fighters who’ve engaged with it. Floyd Mayweather would, naturally, be the standout given that he’s fought Logan Paul and Deji, but former Lightweight champion Ryan ‘KingRy’ Garcia is also up there. Garcia has been a defender of influencer boxing, praising Jake Paul back in April 2022 and saying he deserved more credit for what he’d achieved in the ring until that point. However, KingRy has also butted heads with a few creators. Most recently, it’s been KSI that’s gotten slightly under his skin. The British content creator questioned if his next fight against Oscar Duarte was going to be on PPV, which Garcia shot down. KSI and Ryan Garcia clash online, and there’s a fight offer From there, KSI accused the former Lightweight champion of having “robbed” his fans with his last fight against Gervonta Davis – which happened to be the first loss of his career. Garcia accused the YouTuber of being “salty” on him and wanted KSI to stop mentioning him. “KSI is so salty on me for no reason. He can’t go the distance with me like he claimed. He’s a 7 head monster. Stop speaking my name,” he said. It didn’t end there, though. The lightweight star took it to the Instagram DMs and offered KSI the chance to fight. “If you want to fight let me know or just stop speaking my name!” he said. KSI didn’t appear to respond to that, and it might be for good reason, given that he’s fighting Tommy Fury on October 14. It seems incredibly unlikely that he and Garcia would ever actually fight, however, given that KSI has stated he’ll probably retire after his fight with Fury.

  • KSI mocks Speed for crying after Ronaldo World Cup elimination – Dexerto

    KSI mocks Speed for crying after Ronaldo World Cup elimination IShowSpeedFollowing Portugal’s elimination from the World Cup, Speed was in tears and saying that “it’s over” for Ronaldo. KSI put out a tweet mocking Speed after the loss. The 2022 World Cup has had its fair share of upsets. From Japan taking down Germany early on in the tournament to Croatia beating Brazil, it’s been near-impossible to predict who will win in the end. Portugal has a rich history when it comes to football, with Cristiano Ronaldo being a superstar footballer famous the world ’round. IShowSpeed was really rooting for the Portuguese player to come through and take it home for what could be his final World Cup appearance, but they were ultimately felled by Morocco. KSI took the opportunity to mock Speed following the loss. KSI mocks Speed following Ronaldo World Cup elimination IShowSpeed’s journey to Qatar started with heartbreak. Seeing Ronaldo on the bench in one of Portugal’s previous matches wasn’t a decision Speed was a fan of, something he expressed during his livestream at the event. Thankfully for the streamer, he eventually got to see Ronaldo on the field. Things wouldn’t get much better from there, with Portugal losing 0-1 to Morocco. Speed’s reaction in the moment of their loss was captured. The streamer was in hysterics. KSI tweeted a picture of Speed with snot dripping out of his nose, captioned “LMAO. So much for your bet”. Speed couldn’t handle his idol getting knocked out. “It’s his last World Cup, he’s not coming back! He’s 37! He’s not coming back!” Ronaldo didn’t take the loss well, either, with footage of the prolific footballer in tears on his way out of the arena. This follows a variety of controversial events for IShowSpeed, including a stream featuring a Cristiano Ronaldo look-alike and backlash for comments toward a fan during the World Cup.
