KSI explains why Jake Paul is “washed up” ahead of AnEsonGib fight KSI, Jake Paul – YouTubeYouTube star KSI may have defeated Logan Paul in the boxing ring, but his grudge with the Paul brothers is far from over, with Jake Paul notably calling him out for a potential fight — that is, if he defeats his upcoming rival AnEsonGib. Jake Paul and AnEsonGib are scheduled to throw down in their debut professional boxing match on January 30, with Paul openly setting his sights on KSI, should he emerge victorious. Whatever his chances may be, KSI is confident that the Team 10 founder is desperate to win over his British opponent, claiming that he needs a win to stay on top of his social media game. The YouTuber addressed this matter in a Reddit reaction video on January 17, where he called the youngest Paul brother “washed up” and argued that he’d do “anything” for online clout after mocking his less-than-impressive Twitter likes. “I think Jake feels like he needs to win this fight against Gib in order to remain relevant again,” he explained. “These guys are just clout-chasers, man. Jake, Logan, they just love clout. There are so many more YouTubers like that. Just obsessed over clout.” KSI claimed that Gib would need to finish off his rival for Jake’s alleged clout-chasing ways to die down, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to challenge him after such a massive loss. “This is why Gib needs to f**king do what he needs to do and destroy Jake, and get rid of him for good,” he continued. “At that point, once he beats Jake, Jake’s finished. Jake is done. He can’t come at me, because I’ll be like, ‘Bro, you couldn’t beat Gib! You think you can fight me?’” (Topic begins at 3:45 for mobile viewers) With Logan Paul losing to KSI on November 9 by split-decision, Jake hopes to settle the score against the “Down Like That” rapper once and for all at a later date — but such a dramatic storyline hinges on his performance against Gib at the end of the month. For now, all fans can do is watch and wait for the fight’s eventual outcome, which could add yet another chapter to an already historic YouTube rivalry.

KSI explains why Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather won’t happen Instagram: loganpaul, ksiWith the recent announcement that Logan Paul would be fighting boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition match, many questions have been raised — and now, KSI is questioning whether it’s even real. On September 16, it was revealed that the YouTuber would be taking on the undefeated boxer in an exhibition match, immediately causing a stir. Some aren’t convinced by the legitimacy of the fight, though, believing that it won’t go ahead at all. After posting a cap to Twitter, implying that he believes the fight is ‘cap’ (not real), KSI has explained his reasoning. For the most part, it simply boils down to one question: why? “Yeah, this is cap, this ain’t happening,” the Brit said in a YouTube upload on September 22. “Why the f**k would Mayweather say yes to this? Why would he fight the loser of me and Logan?” He continued: “I was the A-side for both fights. Surely Mayweather would just want to fight the winner of me vs. Logan? It just makes more sense.” Timestamp 10:00 That wasn’t all, though. KSI went on to question how much of a draw Logan is, saying simply that he “can’t sell tickets.” He references the Challenger Games, which saw Logan bring together a bunch of YouTubers for a track event, and compares it to the Sidemen football matches, in which they sell “thousands of tickets.” “I’m the bigger draw when it comes to boxing,” he adds at the end of his speech. “I defeated the one who started it, Joe Weller, and defeated Logan Paul himself, so why would Mayweather want to fight second best, when he could easily just fight the best?” KSI’s line of reasoning does make sense, and he’s not the only person to have questioned the legitimacy of this fight. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

How to buy KSI’s and Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration in the UK PrimeIf you’re in the UK and looking to get your hands on some PRIME, you may be wondering why it’s so hard to find. British YouTube star KSI, who launched the brand with Logan Paul, has explained why it’s nearly impossible to buy his PRIME hydration drink in the UK at the moment. Earlier in 2022, former rivals KSI and Logan Paul joined forces — revealing their new hydration drink PRIME to their millions of fans, and it’s fair to say it was a hit. While the likes of MrBeast had their doubts about the drink, it sold out across the US pretty quickly after launch. Furthermore, thousands of excited fans even lined up outside stores for its debut in the UK. Fans have even been spotted waiting outside stores before they even open in hopes of an overnight restock. The drink is so popular that it’s even been banned from schools in the UK too, as students had begun selling them. In response, KSI offered schools an entire “truckload” of PRIME for students who weren’t allowed to have it. Contents Is Prime Hydration Drink available in the UK? – Where to buy PRIME drinks in the UK – How much does a PRIME drink cost? – Is Prime Hydration Drink available in the UK? Yes, Prime Hydration drinks are available to buy in the UK. When it was first released, it was difficult to get your hands on the popular drink as, even though there was enough supply, people decided to re-sell it. During an episode of The Fellas podcast, the British entertainer KSI got on the topic of PRIME, where he explained why it’s so hard to find the drink in stores. “It’s always sold out man. Honestly, people are selling it on the black market,” he claimed. “I sh*t you not, the only place you’re meant to get PRIME is Asda and Arsenal stadium. But people are getting it at petrol stations! “Asda employees aren’t even f**king putting it on the shelves anymore. They’re shipping it out lowkey. They’re like ‘what’s the point, I put it on the shelf and it’s gone instantly. F**k it, I’m just going to sell it on the black market myself.’” He finished: “That’s what they’re doing bro, and then people are making p’s from it because you can’t get it anywhere! It’s not like we’re not supplying enough, we’re supplying loads!” Timestamp: 0:29 Where to buy PRIME drinks in the UK Although not consistent, PRIME Hydration has been available for purchase in the following stores: ASDA – Aldi – Morrisons – Sainsbury’s – One Stop – SPAR – Costco – Home Bargains – Texaco – Esso – Fans can also try ordering from the beverage from the official website when it restocks. Alternatively, you may spot PRIME at the Emirates Stadium, serving as Arsenal’s official drink partner. If you’re struggling to find PRIME, a fan-made tracker app, which actively tracks 5,125 stores in the UK, has been created — and has even been publicly endorsed by KSI himself. How much does a PRIME drink cost? PRIME was first sold in ASDA for £1.50 per bottle but has since seen an increase to £2.00 ($2.50)— likely due to its overwhelming demand in the UK. However, some stores have been seen selling the drink for up to £2.50. The company has also expanded beyond just general beverages, with another product in the form of flavor packets labeled Hydration Sticks. PRIME’s energy drinks also hit UK shelves in April, 2023, and also cost £2. KSI shared with fans that production has increased “tremendously” to help with the demand, which he claims will bring PRIME everywhere. Hopefully, it’ll get easier for fans to get their hands on the drink as time goes on, but the popularity is certainly rising.

KSI explains why Jake Paul could win boxing match against Nate Robinson JJ Olatunji, YouTube / Jake Paul, Instagram[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star Jake Paul is set to face off against former NBA player Nate Robinson on September 12 — but in spite of Robinson’s status as a star athlete, rival influencer KSI thinks Paul might have the drop on the pro baller. Jake Paul has been teasing a match with KSI for some time now, but it looks like their proposed bout is taking the backseat to Paul’s upcoming fight against former NBA point guard Nate Robinson. With the match taking place on the undercard of arguably the biggest boxing event this year — Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. — it’s easy to see how this is a huge moment for YouTube athletes, but KSI feels it could be even bigger than fans already anticipate. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCVAqhDm5U/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link In fact, KSI predicts a win for Jake Paul, expressing dismay about his potential victory during a July 27 video, where he watched footage of Robinson’s mit work. “Mans is five foot nine and can do a madness!” KSI said of Paul’s opponent. “But when it comes to boxing, I just don’t see it! …with pads, anyone can look good on pads. The best way to see how good of a fighter someone is, is through an actual fight!” “I’m looking at this man, and I’m just… I’m not impressed,” he continued as he watched footage of Robinson hitting the pads. “He just looks stiff, fam. He’s not rotating the body, it’s just… oh, man. Jake’s gonna f**ing win this. Jake’s gonna f**king win this, and this is gonna boost his ego even more.” However, a win for Jake could spell good news for his potential fight with KSI, as the British YouTuber claimed that, should he lose, all hype for their bout would be equally destitute. “If Jake loses, this just deads our fight,” he laughed. “Like, it kills the hype and everything. I don’t know why he’s decided to do this. If he wins, then yeah, this is gonna hype up our fight even more.” KSI isn’t the only one predicting a victory for Paul, either; his former boxing coach, Viddal Riley, likewise feels that he has the win in hand. Despite predictions, only time will tell how Jake will fare against an NBA superstar in the ring — but considering his near-constant boxing practice, it’s safe to say the Team 10 founder is in peak fighting shape.

KSI explains why he’s so “p*ssed off” by DAZN helping Kingpyn KSIKSI has laid out why he’s annoyed with DAZN for giving a “helping hand” Kingpyn Boxing as the promotion faced bankruptcy. After KSI’s Misfits Boxing signed a five-year deal with DAZN earlier in 2023, the influencer-boxing scene is continuing to get bigger and bigger — with events featuring some of the internet’s biggest stars going blow for blow becoming more common. While Misfits continues to push the scene forward more than anybody else, competitors have since entered the space, such as Kingpyn Boxing — who earlier this year kicked off the first influencer boxing tournament. However, leading up to the second event, the company seemed to be in turmoil — reportedly facing bankruptcy according to Happy Punch Boxing. That was until DAZN stepped in, giving Kingpyn a “helping hand” to allow the semi-final event to still go forward. However, it’s fair to say KSI wasn’t pleased with DAZN helping Misfits’ rival, calling the circumstances “annoying.” Now, the YouTube star has explained he’s “p*ssed off” by the situation. KSI reveals why he’s so “p*ssed off” with DAZN In a July 14 SideCast episode, KSI and the Sidemen touched on the Kingpyn situation, where Miniminter disputed the claim that Kingpyn were going bankrupt. KSI then elaborated, clarifying Kingpyn were in a tough spot financially in DAZN stepped in. “Nah look, financially they were struggling and DAZN gave them a helping hand,” he said. The YouTube star continued, explaining why he’s so annoyed with DAZN giving the promotion a hand. “I’m pissed, nah obviously it pisses me off. First, we had Jake Paul coming on to DAZN with his shitty event. “I don’t own DAZN, but I feel like I’m exclusive, you know what I mean? I’m one of the reasons why you know… I feel like I’m helping DAZN quite a lot. I feel like I add value. He added: “I don’t know, it’s just annoying having Jake Paul and then now Kingpyn.” The rest of the Sidemen then explained how it’s actually smart of DAZN to give Kingpyn a platform — allowing the sport streaming service to dominate the entire influencer boxing scene.

KSI explains why he’s confident he’d beat Jake Paul in boxing superfight YouTube: KSIYouTube star KSI believes he’s got one big reason as to why he’ll beat Jake Pair if the pair ever meet in their long-awaited boxing superfight. When KSI and Jake Paul helped spearhead the YouTube boxing revolution back in 2019, it seemed a matter of time before they’d settle their beef in the ring. Four years later, though, and the pair haven’t managed to touch gloves just yet. There’s been plenty of talk about a fight happening at Wembley this year, but that could be off the table given that they’ve eyed up a December fight date. Before they get to that point, the pair are looking to stay active. Jake’s long-awaited fight with Tommy is apparently a “done deal,” while KSI wants to get back on his Misfits cards soon following his win over FaZe Temperrr. KSI gives himself big advantage over Jake Paul as fight rumors continue That win over Temperrr came thanks to a first-round knockout, and it’s part of the reason why KSI believes he’d beat Jake if they ever squared off. He highlighted that belief in his aptly named “This Is Why I’ll Beat Jake Paul” video on January 17, where he spoke about his in-ring technique improving to such a high degree. “The technique bro, the technique. Dangerous. It’s dangerous,” he said. “I’ve still got so much more to learn. Big up MVP, talking about Michael ‘Venom’ Page, the only MVP that really counts. “I know a lot of people are going to be like your technique sucks, blah blah, well f*ck the technique. Let me touch your chin and let’s see if you get up.” Timestamp of 6:30 The Brit has racked up a few KO wins now, so he certainly has the power, but Jake may have the stamina advantage given he’s gone deeper into fights. It will ultimately be an interesting match-up if they ever square off, but fans are still hoping it happens.

KSI explains why he would be “ruined” if he lost to Jake Paul KSI, DAZN – YouTubeYouTube star Jake Paul went viral after defeating opponent AnEsonGib in the first round of their January 30 boxing match — but he’s got his eyes set on bigger prey, KSI, who apparently can’t afford to lose against him. After dropping Gib three times in the first round of their professional boxing debut, Jake Paul immediately called out fellow YouTuber KSI, who notably defeated his brother “The Maverick” Logan Paul on November 9, 2019. Claiming that KSI had only won due to a 2-point deduction, things got heated inside the ring, adding yet another chapter to the KSI vs Paul brothers grudge that is already being set for another fight. KSI spoke on their future bout during a video on February 3, where he admitted that he can’t afford to lose to the Team 10 founder in wake of their bitter rivalry. According to the British YouTuber, he’d become a veritable mockery if he lost to the youngest Paul brother, knowing that he’d never be able to live the loss down. Read More: Top 20 most disliked YouTube videos ever – “You see, this is why I can’t lose!” KSI laughed, after watching a video of Gib’s infamous stumble set to Noisestorm’s “Crab Rave” song. “If I lost, fam, Reddit would annihilate me, fam. It’d be over. Yo, the haters would win! Oh my god! I would be ruined!” (Timestamp: 12:40 for mobile viewers) That being said, it doesn’t look like the internet star has any fears of actually losing to Jake, considering his confident statement made earlier on in the same video. “I won’t let him beat me, bro,” he continued. “I never lose. I can’t lose! I’m undefeated! I have a song called ‘Undefeated,’ which will be on my album. Fam, I don’t lose.” Of course, that isn’t stopping him from being angry that his least favorite YouTuber won in such a dramatic manner, claiming, “Man’s very very pissed. Because now, Jake is gassed, and it just angers me how he thinks he’s sick. …he’s not! He’s worse than his brother.” Without a date or time set, there’s no telling when these two YouTube giants will face off, but one thing’s for certain: this storied bout could put an end to KSI’s grudge against the Paul brothers, for good.

KSI explains why he’d beat 50 Cent, Migos, & more in boxing match YouTube star KSI defeated rival Logan Paul by split decision in their long-awaited boxing rematch, but the jury isn’t completely out on other celebrity boxing matches for the internet sensation. Following their rematch, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn claimed that he’d received “five or six calls” from “probably the highest-profile people in their field,” citing actors, athletes, and musicians without naming names. While fans may never know exactly who gave Hearn a ring regarding a potential fight, Hip Hop news outlet “HipHopDX” took this possibility and questioned KSI on which celebs he’d be down to dance with in the ring. Of these celebrities were listed rappers like 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, and even the Migos – all of whom the YouTuber felt he could defeat in a legit boxing match. “That would be a good matchup, I think!” KSI laughed of the 50 Cent query. “Stamina-wise, I’d just, yeah. I’d be all over him. …I love 50, man. He’s such a clown on Instagram.” KSI felt much the same about Wiz Khalifa, who was even present at his fight, stating, “I think he’s got quite a skinny frame. Again, if I just hit him, he’d just be like, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’” In a bit of humor, the interviewer even asked if KSI could take on all three members of the Migos, at once – a challenge that he’s apparently down for. “They’d come in swingin’, man!” he laughed. “But yeah, no, I’d be able to take them all, for sure.” (Segment begins at 5:14 for mobile readers.) HipHopDX didn’t stick with rappers, alone: they also questioned KSI on his ability to take fellow YouTubers, such as Vitaly Zdorovetskiy and even viral philanthropist Mr Beast. “I’d destroy him, man, yeah,” KSI said of a possible bout with Vitaly. “Nothing, easy. On roids or off roids, I’d destroy him, yeah. Even if he does substances, I’d still finish him.” In spite of his jab toward Vitaly, KSI was rather complimentary toward Mr Beast, claiming that he’d feel bad for fighting the charitable star because he’s “such a nice person.” While there’s no telling who KSI may fight next in wake of his musical success, it doesn’t look like the YouTuber is turning down any potential offers from top personalities and celebrities, just yet.

KSI explains why he wants Logan Paul to win Antonio Brown boxing match YouTube: KSIOlajidebt / Instagram: loganpaulDespite the long-running feud between the two YouTubers, Olajida ‘KSI’ Olatunji has explained why he wants Logan Paul’s boxing match with Antonio Brown to go ahead – and why he wants his former rival to win. Becoming much more than simply a YouTube event, some of the biggest celebrities in the world became invested in the second boxing match between the two, with the likes of Justin Bieber and Wiz Khalifa in attendance at the bout. Now, the prospect of former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown fighting Logan Paul has got everyone excited – including KSI, who has confirmed he will be supporting Logan. In a video published on February 18, KSI reacted to Logan Paul’s diss track on AB – titled Going Broke – and despite picking out a few flaws, seemed pleasantly surprised by the track, saying it’s “got everything you need.” He then went on to speak about the prospect of a fight between the two, saying “I think this fight should happen, man. For the culture.” He elaborated on his point saying that he “wants this fight to happen.” He said: “Obviously, I think Logan’s going to win, and obviously, I’m always going to back Team YouTube,” before asking “who the f**k” ‘AB’ is. KSI’s backing of Logan, despite their past and the beef between them, may come as somewhat of a surprise to fans, but his explanation makes sense – especially as he continues to champion being a YouTuber despite his success in the ring and in the music charts. While a fight between Logan Paul and Antonio Brown has been rumored for a long time now, Logan has said it may not be happening after all. What does look more likely is KSI’s bout with Logan’s brother, Jake, who has teased that the fight might happen sooner rather than later. Whatever happens there, it looks like there may no longer be any bad blood between KSI and Logan, though that won’t matter if Jake vs KSI ends up happening as both will have a serious degree of pride and respect on the line – not to mention the YouTube boxing world championship.

KSI explains why he won’t fight Austin McBroom or Bryce Hall amid canceled Alex Wassabi fight YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Bryce Hall, The ACE FamilyKSI’s highly-anticipated bout with Alex Wassabi was canceled, leaving him to find another opponent in Swarmz…but he didn’t pick several other popular replacements for very specific reasons. 2022 was slated to be the summer of influencer boxing, but it seems that the season of flying fists has all but been put on hold. First, health complications for AnEsonGib delayed his match against Austin McBroom, prompting the two YouTubers to reschedule their bout for a later date. Then, Jake Paul’s fight against Hasim Rahman Jr. got axed due to weight issues on Rahman’s part — causing Jake to lose millions of dollars. Now, KSI’s own match, scheduled for August 27, has experienced complications, with American YouTuber Alex Wassabi pulling out of the bout due to as-yet unexplained reasons. KSI announced that he would, instead, be boxing against Swarmz, a British rapper and semi-pro footballer. However, his fanbase isn’t happy about this pick. Amid the ongoing chaos following the announcement, KSI turned to his subreddit, where he went through a list of fans’ choices of replacement fighters for Swarmz. KSI claimed that there’s no way he’s fighting any of them — chiefly Austin McBroom, who challenged the British YouTuber to a bout at the end of 2022. “My man thinks he’s f**kin’ Floyd Mayweather,” he explained. “He’s gonna ask for millions. He thinks he’s worth millions. He’s not worth anything!” “Plus, he’s waiting on Gib to sort out his medical [issues], so I’m not gonna wait on Austin to wait for Gib for his medical, because then we wouldn’t even have an opponent.” KSI also turned down a possible opponent in TikTok star Bryce Hall, simply saying that the Sway House star “doesn’t want it.” (Topic begins at 5:00) KSI also noted that his fight with Swarmz was written into his contract as a backup option should Wassabi back out, so there’s not much that can be done at this point in terms of replacing his replacement. Ultimately, KSI called the fight with Swarmz “awful” and a “situation I don’t wanna be in” — but he’ll still be in the boxing ring come August 27, whether fans want to see this particular bout or not.

KSI explains why he turned down viral Astrid Wett kiss YouTube: KSI, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI explained why he turned down Astrid Wett when she reached up to kiss him in a viral moment that went down at weigh-in for the Jay Swingler vs Cherdleys boxing match. KSI won’t be caught slipping — at least, that’s what he says after he dodged a surprising smooch from OnlyFans model Astrid Wett on October 14. The viral moment occurred during the weigh-in for Astrid Wett and her opponent, Keely, who fought on the undercard of Jay Swingler vs Cherdleys on October 15. After exchanging some banter, Keeley asked Astrid if her boyfriend was in the crowd, prompting the model to hit back with: “Do you think if I had a boyfriend I would do this?” She reached up to give KSI a kiss, but the YouTuber leaned back to avoid the unexpected embrace, sparking a slew of humorous reactions from viewers online. KSI reveals why he dodged viral kiss from Astrid Wett: “It’s super cringe” Days later, KSI has returned to the internet to discuss why he didn’t return the gesture after his Reddit page became inundated with clips of the moment. “Astrid Wett tried to kiss me, and I said ‘Nope! Not today!’” he laughed. “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!” “First of all, I hate public affection. I think it’s super cringe. Secondly, you’re not gonna catch me slipping. Nah. I’m on point with everything I do. …when it comes to this, I was on point and I wasn’t gonna let her put her lips on mine.” (Topic begins at 0:30) KSI went on to mention that Astrid apologized to him after the encounter and said everything is solid between them — even though the model was a bit embarrassed at being “pied” by the YouTuber in public. However, Astrid did have some luck at the event, as she went on to defeat Keeley in their boxing match, the second major influencer-boxing event to feature a female match after Creator Clash this summer.

KSI explains why he wants Logan Paul to beat Floyd Mayweather JJ Olatunji/YouTubeWith Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather set to duke it out in the boxing ring come February 2021, fellow YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji gave his surprising take on who he wants to win the exhibition bout. Logan Paul fighting Floyd Mayweather has been the talk of the sports world ever since Jake Paul knocked out former NBA pro Nate Robinson on the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones JR undercard. Now, with the Paul brothers cementing themselves as genuine boxing threats, Floyd Mayweather has agreed to take on Logan after a lot of speculation leading up to the announcement. On December 9, KSI uploaded a new video where he explained why he wants to see Logan defeat the 50-0 boxing legend. View this post on Instagram “I can’t believe this is the world we live in,” he said of the bout. “And I know a lot of people are going to be asking who do I want to win. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I want Logan to win.” The news may be a bit surprising given the history between the two, who duked it out twice in the ring beforehand. While their first fight ended in a draw, KSI emerged the victor of their second bout, finally putting their long-standing beef to rest. “I know, right? What?!” KSI laughed at his remark about wanting Logan to win. “I will always, until I die, be team YouTube. I will always support my fellow YouTuber. If it’s a YouTuber vs a mainstream guy, I’m always going to go for the YouTuber. I want Logan to win.” For his part, Olatunji’s reasoning makes sense, viewing a Logan victory as win for YouTube as a whole. “If Logan beats Mayweather… holy sh*t,” he swore. “That would literally destroy the internet. Oh God, that would be so ridiculous. I think there would be riots. People would be like, ‘bro, Mayweather is undefeated. He’s lost to Logan Paul who is a YouTuber!’” However, while KSI may want Logan to pull off the upset, he doesn’t think he will actually will. “I don’t think any amount of training will get Logan prepared for the fight against arguably the best boxer in the world ever.” According to KSI, Mayweather will just wait, pick him off and win points. Furthermore, he doubted how Logan even thinks he could win, but recommends fighting as random as possible to throw the pro off his game. We’ll have to see just what Logan has up his sleeve when the two step into the ring on February 20, 2021.

KSI explains why he didn’t call out Jake Paul after Swarmz & Pineda wins YouTube: IFL TVKSI has explained why he didn’t name Jake Paul in his long list of future fight callouts following his win over Luis Pineda on August 27. After a three-year hiatus from fighting, KSI returned to the ring in dominant fashion by knocking out both Swarmz and Luis Pineda during his ambitious two fights in one night event in London. Shortly after knocking out Pineda – who is a professional boxer – KSI was quizzed on who he wants to fight next, and the British YouTube star issued a few callouts to the likes of Andrew Tate, Tommy Fury, and even Slim Albaher. Though, the absence of his longtime rival Jake Paul was noted by fans and pundits across social media. The Brit had been expected to callout Jake, given that the pair have laid the groundwork for the long-awaited “winner takes all” fight. However, he’s explained why he didn’t do so. KSI says there’s a long way to go before Jake Paul fight Speaking to DAZN shortly after the victory, KSI noted that fighting Jake is still his end goal, but he’s still got plenty of work to do before he gets to square off against his American counterpart. “There are so many more (fights) and that’s why I was calling out everyone bro. Legit, theres so many people I need to go through before I get to Jake,” he said. “Jake is definitely the main goal, but soon come, soon come. Just getting my work in, getting the rounds in, and yeah bro, I’m feeling good. Happy days.” Timestamp of 1:20 Jake himself even called KSI a “smart man” for not calling him out, and doesn’t believe the pair will actually settle the score and fight. The ‘Problem Child’ stated that KSI will “never” fight him and is just using his name for hype. The pair of them will be back in the ring soon – Jake in October and KSI in January – so maybe they’ll spark something later down the line. We’ll just have to wait and see.

KSI explains why he thinks Logan Paul’s loss has “ruined his legacy” Logan Paul may have walked away with potential millions from his headlining clash with fellow YouTube superstar KSI, but his English rival has suggested the split-decision defeat has “forever” cost the American his legacy. After months of build-up for the fight between the two YouTubers, Paul and KSI finally met in the ring on November 9 at the Los Angeles Staples Center. In the resulting duel, KSI emerged victorious, thanks in part to a mistake from Paul that docked him points, and sealed the British star’s 55-56/57-54/56-55 split decision win. Their first meeting, nearly two years ago, had ended in a draw. Now, KSI has lifted the lid on how he feels weeks after the fight, and admitted during his November 25 appearance on the No Jumper podcast that he believes his American rival threw away his whole career’s legacy when he lost. According to the British rapper, the internet never forgets. Paul may move on to other things on or off YouTube, but wherever he goes he will “always be seen as the guy who lost to KSI,” and that’s something that will stay with him “forever.” “[Logan] said ‘Oh look at this, we made history, it’s a huge event, biggest ever numbers on DAZN, blah blah blah,’” KSI said, “but I was like ‘You still lost bro,’ and forever, forever and ever, he will always be seen as the guy that lost to KSI.” “Imagine that. That fucking sucks man, that’s why I trained so hard, fucking hell I trained. I pushed myself to the fucking brink, because I didn’t want to, for the rest of my life, be the guy that lost to Logan Paul. Oh my god man.” KSI added that he believes that is why there won’t be many other YouTuber vs YouTuber events like KSI vs Logan Paul or its sequel two years later — content creators and rappers are terrified of losing their precious branding. “Not many people can do what I do, and what I did, I think, because there’s a lot on the line, and it’s risky, very risky… it’s whole legacy risk,” he explained “Once you lose, it’s like ‘f*ck, where do I go from here?’. It shouldn’t be that important, but it is. Imagine if you lose, you can’t make certain music anymore. “You can’t be like ‘I f*ck, I’m the best, I don’t take Ls,’ because everyone will be saying ‘Why are you saying you’re the best, but you got f*cked up?’” “That’s just how it is. A lot of celebrities would stay away from it because they’re afraid their whole legacy would be fucked up from that one moment.” In the same vein, KSI touched on the fact that after his split decision victory over his American rival his legacy in England has been fired into the heavens, and now he struggles to “even go to the shops” without being congratulated. “When I walk down the streets of London it’s mad, I literally can’t walk outside for too long otherwise I just get mobbed, and they just swarm,” he said. “I’m even getting sick of people congratulating me, it’s constant. Even when I went out it was all the time, I never thought I’d be sick of it. Obviously, it’s a good feeling though, and I feel good that I could do my country proud. “This has helped me a lot with my fanbase too, because I’m a YouTuber you can have a young audience, but because of the boxing, it’s helped me connect to my older audience, and bring them together. It doesn’t feel as weird anymore.” And after all the glory of the win, and watching Logan Paul effectively put a black mark on his career with the defeat in Los Angeles, KSI could only laugh when thinking about the fact that he was asked if he was interested in a trilogy. “I was like ‘Bro it’s cause you’ve got nothing left,’ I had brought him back from the depths of hell [with KSI vs Logan Paul 2] and then threw him back again, and in the process, I took everything that I needed from him,” the British star laughed. “I literally twisted him out, and threw him back in the bin. It doesn’t make sense for me to fight Logan again, why would I fight Logan again? I was the champion, he had two chances to beat me, and he failed twice.” For mobile viewers, the related segment begins at 32:38. KSI added that if he was ever to get back into the ring again to complete a hat-trick of duels against the American YouTuber, he would have to see Logan Paul “on his knees,” begging to be allowed one more chance at the title. “If he wants to fight me again, he’s going to have to beg,” KSI explained. “I want him to make videos of him begging, being like ‘KSI, I need this fight, I need you to help me, and my career.’ I want him to f*cking beg, and call himself a p*ssy and a b*tch. I can do whatever the f*ck I want, I won. F*ck what he wants.” So that may put a red line through any chances fans had to see a third edition of the Youtube title fight, considering there’s small chance Paul flagellates himself to the level that KSI wants to see before he’ll accept another rematch. There also doesn’t look like there’s much chance for Paul to change the result either, despite the defeated star submitting appeal documents to the CSAC, after KSI broke down the fight blow-by-blow to overrule his “idiotic” request.

KSI explains why he “just doesn’t care” about beef with Deji following subscriber loss KSI, Deji – YouTubePopular YouTuber KSI is beefing with his little brother Deji, once again, after being accused of mental and physical abuse by his sibling – but KSI is struggling to “find a fuck to give” about the debacle. KSI made several Tweets about Deji’s accusatory video on May 26, comparing it to makeup guru Tati Westbrook’s own viral “Bye Sister” video making damaging allegations against beauty YouTuber James Charles. “Imagine making a Tati V2 video and thinking I’m going to reply?” KSI wrote of the matter, adding a series of crying laughter emojis. “He even put ads on the video LOOOOOOOL. 40+ minute ‘expose’ videos are the new diss tracks.” 500https://twitter.com/KSIOlajidebt/status/1132686520924758016 KSI wasn’t done, just yet; he went on to address the major loss in subscribers he’d taken following the release of Deji’s video, claiming that he has been in the game for “too long” to care about the drama. “Oh noooooo, I’m losing subs,” he continued. “…I’ve been doing this YouTube thing for too long to care about shit like that. Subs don’t even matter anymore these days. The kid only talks to me publicly for self gain. So I just don’t care anymore.” KSI then showcased a series of text messages sent to his little brother, dating back to December 6, when their original beef was at its height. While KSI himself made multiple attempts to reach Deji, not a single text had been answered – prompting a mere “Lol” from the older sibling. This latest beef between the brothers follows the re-upload of Deji’s diss track against KSI, which he’d claimed to have made private as a means to end their previous feud in late 2018. However, Deji ultimately placed the video back online, prompting KSI to lash out in response. While the duo made up beforehand, there’s no telling how their relationship will pan out following Deji’s claims of abuse.

KSI explains why he can never be “canceled” KSIOlajidebtHD v2, YouTubeOlajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji is one of YouTube’s biggest creators, having also made the jump to professional boxing and even topping the charts in the UK’s music industry — but despite his status as a social media star, he’s confident he’ll never get “canceled” online. With the rise of social media has likewise come the popularly-dubbed “cancel culture,” where celebrities and internet entertainers will be publicly shamed over their older posts due to allegedly problematic material. While some of these callouts may be justifiable, a large swath of the internet has taken issue with the practice, claiming that users merely want to rage at the expense of others — but KSI isn’t so sure he’ll ever face such backlash. The YouTuber explained his stance on the matter in a Tweet on February 21, for which he had an odd justification; his name. According to the celeb, his name isn’t recognizable by Twitter as a “trendable” word since it’s in another language, making it difficult for the site’s algorithm to make him a trending topic that will reach users worldwide. “The amazing thing about my name ‘KSI’ is that it can’t trend lol,” he wrote. “Since it’s a word in another language, Twitter doesn’t recognise it as a trendable word. So I can never get cancelled.” The amazing thing about my name “KSI” is that it can’t trend lol. Since it’s a word in another language, Twitter doesn’t recognise it as a trendable word. So I can never get cancelled 😂😂😂 — ksi (@KSI) February 21, 2020 Although this caused a slew of fans preemptively asking him to delete the post, KSI has been positively received in comparison to his infamous YouTube rivals, Jake and Logan Paul. In fact, Jake Paul recently went viral across Twitter due to his divisive post about anxiety, which many critics claimed was making the condition seem like the fault of those who suffer from it, due to his line, “Anxiety is created by you.” It seems highly likely that KSI’s own Tweet was made in response to the ongoing drama around Jake’s anxiety post, which he responded to in an episode of Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast, claiming, “I don’t know what the f**k I’m doing. I understand that and I get that, but you can’t be f**king perfect.” With a potential boxing match coming up between KSI and Jake Paul, only time will tell if his controversial Tweet will become a potential talking point in their inevitable press conference.

KSI explains what would be different about third Logan Paul boxing match L: KSI – YouTube R: Logan Paul – YouTubeKSI and Logan Paul met up after the Jake Paul and AnEsonGib fight to discuss details of a potential third match. Jake defeated AnEsonGib in the first round in a fight where he had control from the minute it started. Quickly after that match wrapped up, eyes flew over to Logan and KSI’s possible rematch. In an after-match interview, Logan explained that he hasn’t seen KSI since their high-profile bout, but it didn’t take long for them to be reunited after that comment. The pair came face-to-face in the post-game show and KSI talked about how the third match between the duo would end up being different from the previous two. When asked if they would ever fight again, the British YouTuber explained to Logan what he’d do differently. “I’d say I’d rush you a lot more, I kind of took my time too much,” he started. “Obviously, I was just trying to, you know, I was just trying to aim for your chest alone because I knew your head wasn’t going to be there.” (Segment begins at 4:20 mark for mobile users) Unlike Jake’s fight, Logan and KSI were able to go the distance, despite Paul saying he planned on knocking him out. When the American YouTuber was asked about what he’d do differently in a rematch, he said he’s not in a fighting state right now, but did go into some detail. “It’s so interesting because I’m not, in like, fight mode,” he began. “I’m in like, I’m kind of just want to live my life, make the best content, be as happy as I possibly can. But, like, to be honest, if I was fighting KSI again I know I’d win and I think you know that too.” Those are some big words to say, especially considering he hasn’t won either of the previous fights. If the demand remains high for the two to fight again, it’ll be hard for them to ignore for long. For the time being, there are no plans for a third match, but all of that can change in a blink of an eye.

KSI explains why he couldn’t drop Logan Paul in their first boxing match KSI, Logan Paul Vlogs – YouTubePopular YouTubers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul took their beef to the next level in August 2018, settling the score by throwing down in the boxing ring in YouTube’s largest pay-per-view event to date: but things didn’t pan out as they’d expected, with their fight ultimately resulting in a disappointing draw. While both fighters predicted a victory by knockout, the judges’ decision was final, setting up the two YouTube stars for a rematch the following year. However, Logan Paul and his team have allegedly been dragging their heels in organizing the event, leaving KSI visibly frustrated – but he’s confident that he’s going to turn “Super Saiyan Three” in their next bout, and even explained why he couldn’t get the drop on LP back in summer 2018. KSI opened up about their previous fight in a video on July 13, where he admitted that he was disappointed in his own performance and lacked the strength to knock out his blonde-haired enemy. “Obviously, with the last fight, I was disappointed in how I fought,” KSI said of the matter. “I connected with him several times, but I just didn’t have enough power to actually drop him. Until now, of course.” (Timestamp: 1:15 for mobile viewers) KSI also joked that “bulking season” is over, claiming that he’s now dedicated to preparing for their rematch after traveling for his “New Age” music tour – but he isn’t the only one gearing up for the bout, by far. Logan Paul shared footage of his training regime while traveling to Stockholm, Sweden the week prior, as if to taunt KSI in the middle of his tour. KSI mocked Paul’s video with a clown emoji via The Bread Batch’s Instagram post, later uploading his own training footage shortly thereafter in response to LP’s veiled callout. Although the two are now in full-on training mode, neither an official date nor a venue have been selected for their rematch, which is scheduled to go down sometime in November 2019. As the months go by, their rematch draws ever closer, with both fans and KSI himself awaiting an updated announcement for the fight.

KSI explains how rivalry with Logan Paul inspired “Down Like That” YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul threw down for the last time in the ring on November 9 – but KSI was doing more than merely training, as evidenced by his latest track “Down Like That.” KSI dropped the song two days ahead of his boxing rematch with Paul, which featured Hip Hop greats like Rick Ross and Lil Baby, with Ross even performing the song at the Staples Center during KSI’s walkout. Unsurprisingly, KSI’s own part in the song references his then-upcoming bout with “The Maverick,” which he explained in an interview with Genius on December 12. According to the YouTuber, his verse “I want that knockdown” came true, as he claims he knocked Paul down in the third round – a development the referee deemed a “slip.” “I wanted that knockdown, man, I wanted to finish him,” KSI said. “I wanted to properly knock him out. Bro, I was swinging mad, man. I was going crazy. When the first round happened, I thought, ‘This guy doesn’t want to fight me. He was just backing off. …I thought he was a bitch for that.” He went on to refute claims that his verse, “F*** up the system/ Make it shut down,” was a reference to MC Skepta, and claimed that it only had to do with his desire to “shut down” his rival in the ring. “I guess some people thought me saying, ‘shut down’ was like a shout out to Skepta,” he continued. “No, it was just me wanting to shut down his brain when I punched him. Logan’s brain, for those of you who were wondering.” KSI’s “Down Like That” reached the top of the UK’s Apple Music charts and even scored a place in the region’s official Top 10 charts, prompting an emotional celebration from the YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-rapper in late November. With KSI stepping into the music world and Logan Paul aiming for a career in MMA, it looks like some of YouTube’s brightest stars are easing in to other roles in wake of their massive success in the realm of boxing.

KSI explains plan to silence haters with boxing return and show why he’s the “king” YouTube: KSIYouTube star KSI has explained why he’s so excited to make his boxing return while also taking shots at Jake Paul and Austin McBroom for their recent fights. While he hasn’t boxed since his 2019 rematch with Logan Paul, KSI has been at the forefront of influencer boxing since it blew up in popularity a few years ago. Even throughout his three-year hiatus, the British YouTuber has always been linked with a number of big fights. Just like long-time rival Jake Paul, KSI will be returning to the ring in August and while an opponent has yet to be announced, there are plenty of rumors out there about who he’ll take on. The Brit has continually trash-talked the likes of Jake, Austin McBroom, and Alex Wasabi ahead of his return as he wants to reclaim his spot as the “king” of YouTuber boxing – and he’s excited to strap the gloves back on. During his May 28 video, where he was reacting to TikTok jokes about himself, KSI watched one of his infamous interactions with Jake as he urged his rival to “not be nervous” around him. That prompted some more trash talk. “This is why, ladies and gentlemen, I’m so excited to get back in the ring now, I can shut so many people up,” he said, noting how many critics he’s had for skipping out on boxing to focus on his music. “Now I’m in a good space musically to the point where I’m like alright, cool, what have I missed boxing wise? KSI added. “And now you’ve got all these motherf**kers saying KSI ain’t s**t, KSI ain’t this and that! Bro! Do you not understand who I am? I’m the king baby. I’m one of the OGs that started all of this!” Timestamp of 15:52 KSI noted that his return to the ring will help him prove that he’s the “greatest YouTube boxer” and he’ll reclaim his spot at the top of the mountain top. Should he win, the Brit is looking to fight Jake Paul at some point, and while Jake is focused on ‘real boxers,’ a clash between the two would no doubt be of massive interest.

KSI explains why he’s “finally at peace” with multimillion losses in cryptocurrency Twitter:KSI, KuCoinJJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji, the UK’s unofficial face of the internet, has been posting devastating updates to Twitter about a $2.8 million dollar crypto buy-in. Now valued at just over $1000. As the bubble well and truly pops on what’s been an insane market for crypto investors, thousands of people are finding investments down by 80-90% or more. Though KSI has proven the ability to lose money in even the best of times, he’s recently been posting updates to KSICRPYTO, his cryptocurrency-focused Twitter account, on a $2.8 million dollar move he made with LUNA. Posting on May 11, JJ started the story of his money’s decline by saying: “In total, I have bought about 100,000 Luna. Sticking it in a wallet and gonna see what happens in a few years. Could be the best/worst trade of my life.” So far, this is yet another L I’ve taken during my crypto journey 😂😂😂. Honestly was doing so well with shorting Bitcoin hahaha https://t.co/UViEMcAX60 — BuuIsNotUgly (@ksicrypto) May 11, 2022 The coin in question, LUNA, that KSI made the mammoth bet on, has become the archetypal story for loss in the world of digital currency in the days since his public backing. After reaching a peak of value at $116 in April, the coin was worth just a cent on Thursday May 12, and is still plummeting. Currently, it sits at 1/10th of a cent at the time of writing. Describing how this unbelievable drop in value has impacted him on an emotional level, KSI posted with the wisdom of a man who has been through similar declines before. “Before crypto, money was a driving force in my mindset,” the YouTube star explained. “During my time, I made a lot of money, and lost a lot of money. I went from euphoric to depressed. But soon I became numb to it all and realized that money simply isn’t everything.” Continuing to spread wisdom around his experience of loss, JJ dropped truth bombs on his Twitter followers. Going so far as to say ” I’m finally at peace with myself. I just put 2.8 million in that Luna buy and it’s worth less than 50k. But that’s ok because I’m not dead.” Like I’m just in such a better place than I was last year. I guess you’ll see in the doc, but I was so lifeless last year. But anyway, I’ve learned a lot during this crypto phase. Was a lost soul before it, and now I’m more focused and happier than ever — BuuIsNotUgly (@ksicrypto) May 12, 2022 The stunning positivity in the face of overwhelming loss is a bright light in the midst of a sea of people who’ve lost out in the recent crypto crash, but is also the words of a man who can afford to lose close to $3 million overnight and still remain clothed, sheltered, and fed. Posting a final update less than 48 hours after his initial announcement of the best/worst trade of his life, KSI posted a picture of the value of his LUNA at $1017.94, while claiming to be done with it: “My 2.8 million dollars is literally worth $1000,” he said laughing. “Yeah I’m packing this in.”

KSI explains “fear” of fighting Jake Paul too soon YouTube: Anthony Pompliano, SIdemen ReactsYouTube star KSI explained his worries about fighting rival influencer Jake Paul in the near future, saying he worries about the interest surrounding influencer boxing after their highly-anticipated match. British rapper, YouTuber, and businessman KSI is gearing up for his next boxing match against mixed martial artist Dillon Danis in January. That being said, he’s had his eyes on another opponent for years now — ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul, little bro to KSI’s business partner Logan Paul, and one of the biggest names in the influencer boxing game. The two have been butting heads for some time and appeared to agree to a bout in 2023, although nothing more has been said about this supposed fight in some time. Although KSI is training for a different opponent for January 14, his fight with Jake looms on the horizon… but it looks like the rapper is experiencing some hesitation regarding his highly-anticipated bout with the youngest Paul brother. KSI admits to “fear” around influencer-boxing interest after Jake Paul fight He explained his worries during a sports physio appointment uploaded to YouTube on December 6, saying he fears that interest in influencer-boxing might seriously wane after their bout finally happens. “That’s why, when I came back, I wanted to build it with Misfits,” he began, referencing his long absence from the ring at the start of the pandemic. “That’s why I’m always gonna be so close.” “Even after I fight Jake and I put the gloves up, you never know, man. If someone excites me in the YouTube space and makes me want to come back to fight again, I’ll do that on Misfits. I’m here to help build the whole scene.” “That’s one of the reasons why I didn’t wanna fight Jake so soon or so instantly,” he continued. “Because I do know that is a fear of mine, as soon as I fight Jake, it’s done. If I just cared about making money, then I would’ve fought Jake yesterday.” (Topic begins at 6:00) It’s unclear if KSI is referencing a possible fight in 2023 or not; it’s been speculated that KSI will take three fights next year, with his last being against Jake. Considering his latest comments, and the fact that fans haven’t heard hide nor hair of any more negotiations between KSI and Jake, it’s unclear when, or if, we’ll see these two face off in the ring next year — but it is certain that KSI wants to stick around to help build up the scene in the interim.

KSI reveals big change Deji has finally made ahead of boxing return YouTube: KSIYouTube star KSI revealed that he’ll lend a helping hand to his brother Deji ahead of his return to the boxing world, and has picked up on a significant change he’s made compared to his last fights. Even though Logan and Jake Paul have taken the YouTuber boxing scene to a whole other level over the last few years, it was all kickstarted by KSI. The British YouTube star defeated Joe Weller in February of 2018, and started on his path to fight Logan Paul. His brother, Deji, also got into the mix by taking on Jake on the same card, though, he was defeated. While KSI has been on a boxing hiatus in recently, his brother did get back into the ring to take part in the Battle of the Platforms event, where, he was defeated by Vinnie Hacker. After going on his own hiatus, Deji is back and looking to finally score a win in the boxing ring. In his December 10 video, KSI gave a little insight into his brother’s return, noting that he’s made quite a big change already by allowing everyone else to build hype for his fight. “He hasn’t said anything. He’s letting everyone do all the talking and he’s actually, finally, putting in the work,” KSI said. “It’s kind of cool, from a director’s point of view, this is the first time where he’s actually showing he’s going to put in the work. He’s walking the walk rather than just talking the talk. Yeah, it’s sick.” The Sidemen founder noted that he’ll likely help his brother over the Christmas period with some sparring sessions and cardio work, just to give him a little more of a boost. Timestamp of 8:20 Obviously, with no opponent announced yet, it’s difficult for the brothers to work on a detailed fight plan, but having the cardio is key in most bouts. It remains to be seen if KSI will offer any further help as Deji gets closer to making his return, but he’s clearly hype for his brother.

KSI doubles down on wild bet with Dillon Danis ahead of PPV clash Instagram: KSI / Instagram: DillondanisKSI and Dillon Danis have more than just pride on the line in their upcoming boxing match. Months after initially teasing a bonus wager, it appears the deal is now final as the loser will leave the bout with a bald head. After months if not years of back and forth on social media, British YouTube star KSI is finally set to get in the ring with renowned internet trash talker Dillon Danis. The two will go head to head in a PPV main event on January 14, 2023 and it appears to be an extremely lucrative bout for them already. However, there seems to be more at stake than just any old boxing match. While a loss would surely sting and the backlash online shortly after wouldn’t be shortlived, one additional wager appears to have been added to the mix. Back in September, long before the fight was ever made official, the two worked out an agreement on Twitter. Looking to spice things up, Danis put forward the idea of having something extra at stake. KSI quickly responded, wagering the loser “must let the winner shave his head in the ring after the fight.” While Danis was on board with the idea back then, nothing has come of it ever since. It appeared the extra possible embarrassment was left in the rearview mirror as formal contracts were signed for the boxing event. Though it’s all kicked off once again just weeks out from the fight, as KSI just doubled down on the head-shaving agreement in a December 21 Instagram stream. Out in the streets of London promoting the Sidemen’s Christmas Drillings song, KSI pledged that should their holiday track hit number one on the music charts, fellow YouTuber TBJZL would have his head shaved. “I get to cut his hair… So I get to cut his hair and Dillon Danis’ as well,” KSI said laughing at the thought. Obviously, there’s no telling if this part of the agreement has been factored into the official fight contracts, meaning they legally have to oblige. But if their word is enough, we can expect to see one of them leaving the ring without any hair on their head come January 14.

KSI drops hint at Tommy Fury fight date as he claims Jake Paul won’t fight him YouTube: MMA Fighting/Rob MooreYouTube star KSI has given a small hint at the date he’s targeting for a fight against Tommy Fury following his win over Joe Fournier, but he’s still unsure if he’ll get to take on Jake Paul. At the end of 2022, KSI finally ended his hiatus from boxing by returning to the ring to fight Swarmz and Luis Pineda on the same night. Since then, he’s also defeated FaZe Temperrr after Dillion Danis dropped out of a scheduled fight. Most recently, the British YouTube icon defeated Joe Fournier via a knockout in the second round of their May 13 fight. However, Fournier has appealed the result after it appeared KSI used an elbow in landing the final blow. Despite that, KSI is eyeing up Tommy Fury as his next opponent, looking to do what Jake Paul couldn’t and defeat the Reality TV star turned-boxer. KSI hints at Tommy Fury fight happening this summer The British YouTuber appeared on the May 15 episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to discuss his win – saying he’d be “pissed” if the result was overturned – and to talk about his future steps. Helwani quizzed him on whether or not it’d be Tommy next and if there was a date in mind. “I want it to be 100% next, obviously negotiations have got to happen, but that’s what I want, I want that fight,” KSI said before being asked about when it could go down. “I don’t think I can say,” he added before tuning that it is “around-ish” Jake’s fight with Nate Diaz on August 5. Timestamp of 20:25 That naturally sparked an idea about KSI and Jake both winning their respective fights and then moving on to the long-awaited super fight between the two of them. “I won’t say it’s dead, but if I beat Tommy Fury and Jake beats Nate, bro, everyone is going to be like ‘JJ is going to win’ surely?” he continued. “At that point, the wave would be in my favor. It would be huge, of course, but would Jake want to fight me after I beat Tommy Fury?” KSI also claimed that Jake simply “doesn’t want to fight” and has already scrapped plans for them to clash, so, we’ll just have to wait and see.

KSI doubles down on Jake Paul fight offer after Rahman Jr cancellation YouTube: KSIKSI has doubled down on his offer for a Jake Paul fight after the collapse of the American YouTuber’s Madison Square Garden fight against Hasim Rahman Jr. The world of influencer boxing continues to be a wide and winding one. Jake Paul was set to meet Hasim Rahman Jr on August 6 in New York City, but that bout has now fallen through. When JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji caught wind of the fact that the match was off, he provided an altertative solution if JP still wants to see some action in the coming weeks. KSI offers to let Jake Paul fight on his London undercard The Rahman Jr. bout was only ever supposed to happen as a replacement for Paul vs Tommy Fury after the Englishman was denied entry into the United States. Since KSI is already headed to London take on Alex Wassabi at the O2 Arena, he has once again offered to let JP slide onto the card if he’s ready to take on the match he was gunning for in the first place. “Jake should’ve accepted my offer, should’ve fought on my undercard,” the other influencer-turned-boxer said. “There’s still time, you can fight Tommy Fury on my undercard.” Olatunji first made a similar proposition back when the Fury bout first looked like it would be canceled, but the younger Paul brother didn’t take too kindly to the offer. He insinuated that himself and KSI are on two different levels of business before insulting his manhood. “You and Fury are both big mouths with small sacks,” he said at the time. It doesn’t seem likely that ‘The Problem Child’ will have a change of heart anytime soon, but it could be that two cancellations in a row are enough to get him to reconsider.

KSI doubles down on promise to fight Jake Paul on one condition Twitter: KSI/YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube sensation JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has doubled down on his promise to fight Jake Paul, provided the American can overcome his challenge to defeat AnEsonGib. YouTubers stepping into the boxing ring and settling their differences has been all the rage since KSI and Joe Weller kicked things off back in February of 2018, before the former kicked it up another notch by defeating his then-rival. Since then, KSI has remained at the top of the mountain, slugging out a draw in his first fight with Logan Paul before defeating the popular YouTuber in their long-awaited rematch that was held at the Staples Centre. Yet, KSI could very well look to do the double over the Paul family following Jake’s upcoming fight. While Logan has switched his focus to possibly fighting NFL star Antonio Brown, his brother Jake has stuck in the world of YouTube boxing, getting ready to finally take on AnEsonGib. If the Paul brother can beat the popular British YouTuber, he and KSI have already floated the possibility of donning the gloves once again and making another fight happen – which the latter has doubled down on making happen. “I don’t like Jake and I think the whole world doesn’t like Jake. If he does manage to get past the big Gibber then yes, I will fight Jake 100%,” he said, per an Instagram post from TheBreadBatch. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7tgewSgE0U/ Offering up a prediction for the fight, though, KSI isn’t all that confident that the Paul brother can live up to his end of the deal by taking down Gib. “But, I mean, that’s not going to happen (Jake winning),” he added. “I don’t think he’s ready for Gib at all and it’s going to show on January 30th. I see Gib winning this hands down and that will be the end of the Pauls.” Whether or not KSI will be proven wrong by Jake remains to be seen, but a win from him would be huge, especially considering the back-and-forth leading up the bout. Fans don’t have all that long to wait, however, as Jake and Gib will square off on Matchroom Boxing’s January 30th event, live from Miami, Florida.

KSI doubles down Jake Paul fight for end of 2023 YouTube: LADbible TVKSI has doubled down on plans that his long-awaited fight with rival YouTuber Jake Paul will be taking place in late 2023, as told in a recent Q&A with fans. Although Jake Paul’s upcoming fight with British boxer Tommy Fury is sparking interest from fans all around the world, viewers have been awaiting a far bigger grudge match for years now — Jake Paul vs KSI. These two have had beef ever since KSI’s first match against big bro Logan in 2018, which also marked Jake’s first foray into the boxing ring. Over the years, the two have made no bones about their desire to face off someday, and it seemed like things were finally shaping up for an official fight in late 2022. Notably, the two stars appeared to agree on a bout for 2023, but there’s been no word of a signed contract between the fighters in the following months, with Jake openly mocking KSI for appearing to “duck” him. KSI confirms plans to fight Jake Paul in December 2023 KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, claimed that KSI would take three fights in 2023 — and according to the man himself, his last bout might just be the one fans have been looking forward to all this time. KSI recently fielded a Q&A session with young fans at a boxing gym via Ladbible TV, where a fan asked when he’d be meeting Jake Paul in the ring. “End of the year,” he answered. “Yeah, yeah. Hopefully December.” (Topic begins at 2:40) This is far from the first time KSI has said as such. In fact, KSI made similar claims just last month, although he reiterated that he wanted another big fight ahead of his meeting with Jake in order to amp up his Misfits Boxing brand even more. “There are two goals for me. Misfits I want it to be bigger than the WWE, as big as UFC. Then, Jake Paul I want him flatlined. Simple,” he said. For now, it’s looking more likely than ever that these two social media giants will close out the year with a bang — but until then, Jake’s got to defeat Tommy Fury before setting his sights on KSI.

KSI doubles down on “dream fight” with Jake Paul: “I’m here to expose him” DexertoYouTube star KSI is doubling down on his plans to fight Jake Paul in a dream match that he says will decide the “greatest YouTube boxer of all time.” KSI will be making his long-awaited return to the ring on August 27 where he will be fighting not one, but two opponents in the form of UK-based rapper Swarmz and Mexican boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda. After that, however, the KSI has his sights set on Jake Paul – the undefeated brother of fellow influencer Logan Paul in what could be their biggest battle yet. Speaking with MensHealth, KSI revealed why he wants to duke it out with Jake Paul and reaffirmed his goal to “expose” the 5-0 ‘Problem Child.’ KSI vows to beat Jake Paul to become “greatest YouTube boxer” After claiming that his upcoming bouts will be mere “tune-up fights,” the British rapper revealed that a match with Jake Paul is his “dream.” “I want Jake Paul. That’s why I’ve come back. Everyone thinks he’s sick. Everyone thinks he’s the goat, and I’m here to expose him and show everyone he’s not as good as he thinks he is,” KSI confidently explained. “I’m going to show everyone that I’m the greatest YouTube boxer of all time,” he added, saying that after that match, he might take on other boxers or even UFC fighters. “I’ve got a goal that I want to achieve, which is Jake Paul, and once I get that let me push my body some more, see how far I can go and find someone else that people would think I would never be able to beat.” With Jake Paul set to take on an unknown opponent in October, it’s unclear when he will actually step into the ring with KSI, but chances are a match could end up happening sometime in 2023. Jake Paul vs KSI topped our list for influencer boxing matches we want to see, so hopefully, unlike The Problem Child’s previous scheduled fights against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr, this one actually takes place.

KSI dismisses Logan Paul’s warnings over potential Andrew Tate fight YouTube: JJ Olatunji, IMPAULSIVE / Vimeo: FreeTopGYouTube star KSI isn’t in agreement with friend and fellow creator Logan Paul, who warned the influencer against organizing a fight with controversial internet personality Andrew Tate. KSI emerged victorious in his dual-fight event against ‘Swarmz’ and Luis Pineda on August 27 — and he already had his next opponent in mind, directly challenging Andrew Tate as he stood sweating in the boxing ring. While some fans are excited about the possibility of seeing KSI knock the inflammatory figure to the canvas, others aren’t too jazzed about the idea, arguing that he would be giving Tate a platform amid his multiple social media bans. Logan Paul is one of these wary viewers, who notably warned his friend and business partner against taking on Tate in the ring during an episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. “You wanna replatform this guy?” he asked. “Anyone. You wanna have him on your shows, do you wanna give him another opportunity to speak and spread his agenda? Because whether you believe it or not, the s**t that Andrew Tate is saying will have a ripple effect much more dangerous than you can imagine.” KSI argues against Logan Paul’s warning over Andrew Tate fight KSI reacted to Paul’s warning in a YouTube video a week later, where he acknowledged his friend’s concerns… but also had some points of his own to posit. “Oh, 100%,” he responded. “But like, I would derail all of that if I knock him out. How can he be seen as a ‘Top G’ if I’ve beaten him in the ring? You call yourself a Top G, but you got beat by a YouTuber.” “Yeah, you’re this top alpha, but you got beat by me. Literally all his fans wouldn’t know what to f**king do. They would malfunction. They’d be like, ‘F**k! Our king, our messiah has been defeated. What do we do now?” (Topic begins at 7:30) For now, it’s still unclear if a fight between these two internet personalities will ever happen as KSI continues to negotiate a possible bout with Jake Paul for 2023.

KSI disses Jake Paul for his breakup with Erika Costell KSI, YouTube / ERIKA COSTELL, INSTAGRAMYouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji went live in an episode of the ‘What’s Good?’ podcast on November 19, where he gave a savage analysis of social media star Jake Paul’s breakup with Erika Costell. Podcast hosts Miniminter and Randolph, of Sidemen fame, asked KSI for his thoughts on Paul’s relationship with Costell – particularly as to its authenticity. Read More: KSI lays into Jake Paul over his rapping – “Do you think their relationship was real?” Randolph asked, to which KSI had a savage response. “I think it was fake at the beginning,” KSI speculated. “Jake just fucked around, did a lot of crazy shit… found Erika through all the mayhem, they had a good relationship, and then Jake just got bored and wanted to put his dick in other women – simple as that.” KSI went on to state that he believes Paul isn’t at a stage where he wants to settle down, bemoaning the very idea of being in a relationship with the controversial YouTuber. “Imagine being in a relationship with that kid,” he commented. “Fuck me, man. I would kill myself.” Those weren’t the only shots KSI took at Paul during the podcast, either; he likewise went in on the YouTuber’s rapping skills, calling Paul “trash” and “one of the worst rappers” he’d ever heard in his life. when Instagram model Nikki Banner revealed to Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR that Paul was texting other girls just after her hookup with the YouTuber in late October. While many fans of the couple accused Banner of breaking them up, she claimed that the two were already separated by the time she became involved with Paul.

KSI & Deji’s parents speak out amidst escalating family feud KSI, Twitter / Deji, YouTubePopular YouTubers Deji and Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji are in the midst of a bitter feud, after Deji leaked KSI’s bank records during a diss track in late November of 2018. Their spat has since escalated wildly, and their parents have finally broken their silence on the issue. The couple appeared in a video on Deji’s YouTube channel on January 1, 2019, which was simply titled, “Can you please stop this.” According to the YouTubers’ parents, their home has been targeted by angry fans, with the couple unable to leave the house to perform basic errands. The two even claimed that their property was being vandalized, and called for an end to the “hate” targeted toward their sons. “It has now gotten to the point that fans are coming to our house very late at night,” their mother stated. “Even the police now are concerned for our own safety.” “It’s so bad now that we can’t go out of the house to do shopping,” their father continued. “When we go out, we get attacked.” This latest development follows a Tweet from KSI calling out his younger brother, alleging that Deji was using their feud for views and subscribers. However, it appears that this alleged ploy isn’t working out in Deji’s favor, as the YouTuber continues to lose mass amounts of subscribers on a daily basis. https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/comedyshortsgamer

KSI Describes How He Will Save Logan Paul’s Career During True Geordie Podcast KSI has explained why he thinks he will be saving Logan Paul’s career by beating the American in their fight on Saturday, August 25. After months of insults, promotion and press conferences, the two YouTube stars are now just days away from stepping into the ring. In an interview with True Geordie on YouTube, a supremely confident KSI said that he is going to beat Logan Paul in the highly anticipated boxing match, but save the controversial character’s career in the process: “After I beat Logan Paul, people are going to be like ‘ah I actually kinda feel bad for Logan, like he’s literally down in the dumps.’ And then at that point he’s gonna get a fan base who are die hard, like through and through, with him because of that, “Essentially, that’s why I’m like saving his career because of it”. The Brit goes on to say that he thinks Logan Paul’s career has been in need of saving ever since his infamous video in Japan’s Aokigahara forest, which is often referred to as the “suicide forest”. Paul received a massive amount of backlash for the video, which showed a dead body and was seen by the majority of people as incredibly insensitive and an exploitation of suicide. Paul has made a number of attempts to apologize for his actions and show that he is making changes but the suicide forest video and its implications continue to affect him on a daily basis. KSI says “that will always be at the back of his prodigy, it will always just be there and he will never be able to reach the point that he wants to. I don’t think he’ll ever be able to reach the point he truly wanted to reach because of that video”.

KSI defends Sneako after “stupid” sparring session with Bradley Martyn YouTube star KSI has defended Sneako after a “stupid” sparring session with Bradley Martyn. Over the past few weeks, controversial internet star ‘Sneako’ has touched gloves with some of the biggest influencer boxers. While not in an actual fight, the 25-year-old has even sparred with the likes of Jake Paul. Similarly, in a recent live stream, Sneako joined YouTuber Bradley Martyn for a gym session, where the two decided to go toe-to-toe with the gloves on. With a huge weight difference between them, as Martyn is clearly several weight classes above Sneako, the two decided to go at it for only a minute. Within that time, Sneako was unable to hold his own, repeatedly being hit over and over, even chipping his tooth in the process, until eventually, a right hook knocked him to the ground. KSI criticizes Sneako’s “stupid” sparring session with Bradley Martyn The clip of Sneako being knocked to the ground went viral across the internet, and despite acknowledging his hate for the influencer, KSI couldn’t help but criticize it. The YouTube star called the weight difference between the two of them “ridiculous” — adding that they should at least be wearing headguards for their safety. “As much as I hate Sneako, this is pretty stupid from Bradley,” he wrote. “The weight difference between them is ridiculous. Should be wearing headguards at least.” Previously, KSI and Sneako have gone back and forth over Twitter, where their feud certainly heated up as the British YouTube challenged him to spar to test how “alpha” he really is. More recently, the hype has been building for Sneako to step into the ring properly, with fans calling for him to put on the gloves and face Sidemen member Behzinga.

KSI & Deji celebrate end of their feud with hilarious game of Fortnite KSI, Deji – YouTube / Epic GamesPopular YouTubers Deji and Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji have finally ended their month-long feud, deciding to celebrate their newfound peace in the most appropriate way possible – by playing a few games of Fortnite. The brothers’ Fortnite experience kicked off with some hilarious hijinks, after KSI admitted that he’d never won a game before and jokingly claimed that he would have to get coaching from professional player FaZe Tfue. KSI even got distracted by the dance floor in the mansion near Paradise Palms – to which Deji expressed an appropriate amount of exasperation. “I knew you weren’t gonna be good, but I didn’t expect you to be this bad,” Deji said through laughter. The two went back and forth with hilarious banter throughout the game, with KSI even taking shots at Logan Paul, showing the YouTuber’s face just after calling Fortnite’s wormholes “trash.” https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/ksi-blocks-his-brother-deji-over-pregnancy-scandal-in-a-diss-track-237865This latest collab between the Olatunji brothers comes after their month-long feud in December, which began after Deji showed KSI’s bank records during a diss track. Deji likewise accused KSI of getting a girl pregnant shortly thereafter, and the brother’s feud quickly spiraled out of control – even prompting their parents to upload a message begging angry fans to stop targeting their home due to the spat. Deji later uploaded an apology video and deleted his ‘Unforgivable’ diss track against KSI in early January, officially ending their beef. The two have since showcased a heartwarming amount of brotherly love, with KSI shouting out Deji’s petition for the retrieval of his dog, Tank, after the animal was allegedly stolen by law enforcement in September of 2018.

KSI crowns a winner for the London $500k Prime Bottle challenge Logan PaulThe $500k Prime Bottle challenge was a high-stakes affair that put half a million dollars up for grabs anyone could claim if they could figure out the code in either London or New York. And the first $500k bottle has been claimed. To celebrate 1 billion bottles of Prime Hydration sold, co-founders Logan Paul and KSI posed a challenge to their fans: Crack the code for the golden bottle in either New York or London and take home a solid gold bottle worth $500k. However, the twist is that either bottle would be melted down if the code wasn’t guessed in time at their pop-up shop, and only one bottle would survive. $500k down the drain no matter what. The London bottle has been claimed as documented on KSI’s Instagram story, while the New York one has since been incinerated. $500k Prime Bottle in London claimed While it isn’t like the winners are getting $500k cash upon discovering the code that unlocks the $500k Prime case, a solid chunk of gold that’s worth that much money is nothing to scoff at. And, to the right buyer, that bottle could be worth even more. As a few young kids in London guessed the code to open the case, they were instantly $500k richer as KSI walked up to celebrate with them. With the challenge being set for 48 hours, they’ve certainly cut it close. However, this UK family was able to get in just under the time limit and claim the $500k There were some fans who believed that KSI and Logan Paul are bluffing, that they didn’t plan to melt down the bottle into nothing. However, Logan Paul kept his word and has since melted the other bottle.

KSI confronts Dillon Danis in heated DMs: “Try me” YouTube: MMAFightingonSBN, Misfits BoxingKSI and Dillon Danis had a heated confrontation in their Instagram DMs, marking their first confrontation after Danis pulled out of their fight in late December. YouTube-boxer KSI is looking to take on three fights in 2023… but it doesn’t seem like Dillon Danis will be one of them. The two were initially slated to face off in December 2022, but Danis unexpectedly pulled out of their bout at the last minute, forcing KSI to take on FaZe Temperrr, instead. Since then, KSI has made no bones about calling out Danis for “ducking” their match — and it doesn’t look like their beef is over, whatsoever. On February 2022, Danis shared some DMs between himself and KSI on Twitter, showing the two getting into a heated exchange online. Dillon Danis and KSI trade verbal blows in DMs In the discussion, Danis gives out the address of his location, prompting KSI to say, “I’ll see you there bro. Make sure to bring your mum too.” “Make sure to bring yours, I know she’s the head of your security.” KSI clapped back by sending a screenshot of their message history, showing Danis repeatedly calling him out with no response other than “f*ck off” before their conversation started. “Scared? Prove what you say you would do we put in a pull out clause,” Danis wrote. “Be careful in my city today, kid.” “Come try me, ****,” KSI shot back. For now, it’s unclear if these two will actually trade blows outside the ring — but it wouldn’t be the first time Danis has had an unsanctioned confrontation with a YouTuber. Jake Paul famously bombarded the mixed martial artist with water balloons back in the beginnings of his boxing career, sparking an ongoing beef between the stars. Although KSI’s current fight schedule is unknown, he has repeatedly stated that he plans to take on Jake Paul at the end of 2023 (and it doesn’t look like Danis is part of those plans — at least, not yet).

KSI could be the target of an internet crime ring KSI, YouTube / Adobe StockPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji may be the upcoming target of a group of Instagram thieves operating under the collective username of ‘t300_,’ as evidenced by YouTuber ‘HandMuffWarrior.’ The group under the ‘t300_’ username upload videos of their exploits to their Instagram account, which include such acts as vandalizing vehicles and then waiting around to taunt their owners, assaulting the homeless, and even grand theft auto, among other offenses. YouTuber ‘HandMuffWarrior’ uploaded a compilation of the group’s abhorrent crimes in a video on December 30, where he speculated that they might have their next target already in mind – massively popular YouTuber KSI. KSI posted a video of himself purchasing a watch worth £150K on December 20 in celebration of his successful 2018. According to HandMuffWarrior, the crime ring made plans to rob KSI at his next big event, as stated during an Instagram live feed just after his video went live. While KSI has yet to react or respond to this speculation, HandMuffWarrior has taken it upon himself to expose the thieves in question, feeling that the anonymity of the internet acts as a shield for criminals to continue their dirty work. “I want people to see the evil that is occurring on Instagram,” he stated. “I want people to see how normal internet users sheltered by the wall of anonymity urge these criminals to do evil things for their own amusement.” HandMuffWarrior went on to invite one of the thieves to take down the ‘t300_’ account, after allegedly discovering their identity.

KSI confirms plans to fight Jake Paul in 2023 – but there’s a catch Misfits BoxingYouTube star turned boxer KSI has laid out the next steps ahead of a much-anticipated bout with Jake Paul, as both internet stars continue to impress in the ring. Following KSI’s January 14 bout with FaZe Temperrr, fans are more hyped than ever to see the British YouTuber finally step in the ring with his arch nemesis Jake Paul. For almost five years, the two have gone back and forth throwing shade at one another. However, finally, it seems as if there’s an end in sight, with the two expected to touch gloves sometime in 2023. The anticipated fight is rumored to take place toward the end of the year. But, there’s more on the horizon for the British YouTuber, with him revealing the next steps on his journey to fighting Jake Paul. KSI confirms plans for Jake Paul bout in December 2023 In an interview with SPORTbible, KSI revealed that he’s likely to be stepping in the ring with Paul in December, but he’s looking for one more fight before the ultimate clash. “That’s it December, I said December. It could be even sooner, but I want another fight and then Jake,” he said. “That’s always been the goal. This is all just to hype up that fight and also hype up Misfits. “There are two goals for me. Misfits I want it to be bigger than the WWE, as big as UFC. Then, Jake Paul I want him flatlined. Simple,” he added. When asked about his plans after the Jake Paul fight, whether it be retirement or future bouts, the YouTube star revealed he’s uncertain about what’s next. “I mean after the Jake Paul fight I’ll think about what I want to do. People are throwing names, you know, Conor McGregor, people throwing Mayweather et cetera. “At that point, I don’t know, it depends where my head is at. I haven’t really thought that far. Right now my only goal is Jake, and I’ll probably figure out what to do after that.” After years of waiting, it looks like we’ll finally be seeing the two YouTube boxers clash.

KSI confirms Sidemen Charity Match returning in 2023 The Sidemen Charity Match 2022 boasted a roster with some of the largest creators on YouTube, and its immense success prompted KSI to tease another match coming in 2023. It had been four years since the last Sidemen Charity Match, and the crossover sporting event returned as a huge success in 2022. With Sidemen FC winning 8-7 and fans raising over $1 million, this was easily one of the most successful charity events on YouTube. Not only did it feature members of the beloved Sidemen group, but the Charity Match showcased the athletic abilities of other massive YouTubers. MrBeast, iShowSpeed, GeorgeNotFound, and more took to the pitch to raise money for four charities. While it wasn’t the most pristine game of football England had ever seen, it was undoubtedly a massive hit. Peaking at around 2.6 million concurrent viewers, this event overshadowed every prior influencer boxing event. KSI confirms Sidemen Charity Match 2023 After the crowd went wild following the end of the 93rd minute of play and the adrenaline faded, the players took to the internet to express their gratitude. One, for being a part of the match, and two, for the gracious viewers who donated over $1 million. Leader of the Sidemen KSI took to Twitter as well stating, “What a day. I’m absolutely knackered but I’m so proud of what the social media/online community did today. So entertaining & raised so much money for charity. A historic moment. Thanks to everyone that made this event so special.” He closed his message with a bit of a teaser stating, “Can’t wait to do it again next year 🙂“. With that being said, it will be interesting to see what KSI and the Sidemen have in store for the 2023 Charity Match. Who will be invited to play on the pitch, and will we see Sidemen FC take home another victory?

KSI confirms Joe Fournier as next boxing opponent for Misfits 007 Twitter: KSI, DAZNYouTube star KSI has officially confirmed Joe Fournier as his next boxing opponent for Misfits x DAZN Series 007 coming up this May, following months of speculation. 2023 is KSI’s last year of boxing, as the influencer has confirmed he’s hoping to take three more fights before hanging up his gloves for good. The internet star posted his probable schedule to Twitter earlier this month, setting a bout on Misfits Series 007 for May, a fight for August, and a final match for later in the year. It was long speculated that KSI would be taking on a pro fighter for his next bout — not the first time he’s done so, as he notably faced off with Luis Pineda in his ‘two fights, one night’ event in 2022. He’s been publicly spatting with British pro boxer Joe Fournier for some time now. In fact, a possible fight poster for the two leaked late last year, sparking rumors of a potential faceoff. Then, in early 2023, Fournier confronted KSI in person after his victory over FaZe Temperrr at Misfits 004. “London, who wants to see him fight a real boxer?” he challenged. “That might work on a guy playing video games, but it ain’t going to work on a real fighter.” Months later, it looks like this matchup is finally taking place, as KSI has officially confirmed the bout via Twitter. KSI to face off with Joe Fournier on Misfits 007 On March 22, KSI posted a fight poster featuring himself and Fournier online, writing, “May 13th, we go again. Another KO incoming.” This marks the second pro boxer KSI will have faced, but will potentially be his most challenging opponent yet. Fournier has also commented on his upcoming match with KSI, saying in an Instagram post, “The deal is done and I’m back where I belong… headlining Wembley Arena on @daznboxing pay per view against @ksi!” “He’s a brave man, but his bravery has got him in way over his head, and May 13th, you will see me takeover crossover boxing.” Misfits 007 is slated to take place on May 13 at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London, marking KSI’s second boxing match of 2023 — and one of his last.

KSI confirms plans for Jake Paul boxing match: “Everything else is just a side quest” YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI still has his eyes locked on the big fight, insisting that everything is just a side quest till he steps in the ring with his rival Jake Paul. Fans have been waiting to see KSI and Jake Paul go at it for years now, and seemingly there’s not long left to go till the two finally touch gloves. While the super fight event is likely far from being finalized, the two YouTube boxers have agreed to ultimately duke it out sometime in 2023. Though, till the inevitable showdown, the British YouTube star has claimed that everything he’s doing is just side quests to prove he’s the best. KSI still focused on Jake Paul bout Following the Jay Swingler vs Cherdleys press conference, host Big Zu asked the YouTuber what the boxing world has in store for him in the future. “January, I’ve got a few opponents on my mind, and bro, I just want someone to fight me you know? I want someone to properly give me a go,” KSI replied. “But, I’m ready man. My main goal to come back is to fight Jake Paul,” he added. “That’s the main reason, that’s always the goal. Everything else I’m doing is just side quests. “It’s just me just having and showing the world why I’m so much better than Jake Paul — like so much better.” Noting that Jake has the hype behind him, KSI continued to assure everybody that he’s levels above his rival. “Obviously, he’s got the hype, he’s got the knockouts. But, when it comes to me getting in that ring with him, you’ll see the levels.” Acknowledging that there’s still work to go till he works his rival, there’s no telling exactly when the two will be stepping into the ring together. With both fighters gearing up for a bout in the next few months, a mid-2023 showdown isn’t out of question.

KSI confirms break up with girlfriend after “single and alone” Instagram post YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has officially confirmed that he and his girlfriend have parted ways, days after publishing a cryptic Instagram story claiming he was “single and alone.” Fans have expressed their concerns for YouTuber, rapper, and boxer KSI after he took to Instagram to claim he was “single and alone.” The simple post contained white text on a dark background and was deleted shortly after it was posted. Fans quickly caught wind of the post, though, and flocked to social media to share their concerns surrounding the music artist and his mental health. On November 3, KSI returned to YouTube to clarify the situation, recognizing that he’d ignited somewhat of a storm online by publishing and deleting the cryptic message. Why did KSI break up with his girlfriend? That’s not all — he also confirmed that he’d broken up with his girlfriend, putting the “single and alone” message into perspective. “Me and my girlfriend are not together anymore,” he admitted. “It just didn’t work out. It’s no one’s fault, it just didn’t work out.” “But it’s okay,” he continued. “It happened a while ago. Drunk me decided to f**king do this, like a f**king idiot, and yeah. I don’t know. It is what it is. It’s out there in the world, and I knew the internet would go crazy.” (Topic begins at 0:09) KSI clarified that he is doing well, and is surrounded by friends and family. He likewise thanked his fans for reaching out to him after his deleted post went viral within his community. KSI has never shared the identity of his girlfriend online, although much speculation was had as to who she was; many theorized that the YouTuber was dating Anne Marie, a music artist who featured in a few of his songs, like ‘Farm Animals’ and ‘Little Bit of Fun.’ It doesn’t look like KSI is going to let slip the secret anytime soon, though, in spite of their split — but fans appear to be thankful their favorite influencer is doing well in wake of the unexpected news.

KSI confirms he’s back with girlfriend in new Amazon documentary YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI confirmed that he’s back together with his former girlfriend after the pair parted ways in 2021, which was revealed at the end of his new Amazon documentary. Influencer, rapper, and boxer JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji is making huge waves after his return to the boxing ring last year. After a two-year break from combat sports, during which he focused on his music career, KSI made a bombastic return in August 2022, defeating two opponents in the span of one event. Since then, he’s gone on to defeat FaZe Temperrr in another boxing match, and is currently putting out feelers for three upcoming fights in 2023… and now, he’s even got his own documentary on Amazon Prime. The doc, titled ‘In Real Life,’ follows KSI’s journey during his sold-out musical tour of Europe, and even gives fans an inside look into his personal life — including his romantic prospects. Although KSI has always been a bit cagey about revealing any information about his partners, it was known that the YouTuber had a secret girlfriend for some time. However, in 2021, the rapper sparked concern from fans after posting and deleting a “single and alone” message to his Instagram stories. KSI is back together with girlfriend after 2021 breakup He did later confirm that he was single and hasn’t said much about his love life since then, but it looks like he didn’t need to. At the very end of his new documentary, KSI is seen holding hands with a woman sitting out of frame of the camera. Text then rolls up onto the screen, which reads, “After months of talking, JJ and his girlfriend are now back together.” For now, it’s still uncertain who, exactly, KSI is dating, as the YouTuber still hasn’t opened up about his romantic relationships publicly, seeming to prefer to keep that side of his life private. Fans can watch KSI’s documentary over on Amazon Prime for more behind-the-scenes scoops on their favorite influencer-boxer.

KSI condemns his “outrageous” Twitter tirade against Wade Plem YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has finally responded to fans calling him out for his viral Twitter rant against combat sports enthusiast Wade Plem, condemning his own actions as “outrageous.” KSI’s feud with The W.A.D.E. Concept has officially been laid to rest after the British boxer finally addressed his fans’ concerns with their sudden online spat. The issue began on March 20, when Plem uploaded a YouTube video speculating that Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury 2 would sell more PPVs than KSI’s highly-anticipated bout against Paul. This prompted KSI to go off on a fiery Twitter rant against Plem, calling him “fake” and “two-faced.” The altercation ended with KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, eventually firing Plem from hosting events for Misfits Boxing. Although KSI issued a public apology to Plem, he went on to state that he was “not comfortable” speaking with the YouTuber moving forward on an episode of the Side+ podcast, saying Plem “just wants to constantly be on everyone’s good side.” Later, KSI posted a tweet saying he’d spoken with Plem on the phone and finally sorted out their issues, claiming that both parties merely wished for Misfits’ success and had found common ground. However, commenters were still piling on KSI underneath his videos, with many users pleading, “Justice for Wade.” KSI responds to fan backlash over Wade Plem feud On March 28 — a few days after the conflict died down — KSI uploaded a YouTube video discussing the situation at length, where he took full responsibility for lashing out at Plem on Twitter and even called his actions “outrageous.” “My outburst on Twitter was just outrageous,” he said. “I, genuinely, was serious. Obviously, now I’ve apologized. This was out of order. This was crazy.” “The whole thing has just been a misunderstanding,” he continued. “Wade’s just a really nice guy, and none of the stuff I said here [on Twitter] makes sense for Wade. Wade wants what I want.” That’s not all; KSI even claimed that Plem was free to work with Misfits again at any time, but urged his fans not to direct their anger at his manager over the ordeal. KSI’s feud with Wade also resulted in an unexpected spat with Jake Paul, who urged his rival to take a fight with him — under certain conditions.

KSI confirms boxing return amid Alex Wassabi fight rumors YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has officially confirmed he’s coming back to boxing as rumors swirl of a potential bout against influencer Alex Wassabi later this year. KSI is one of the few YouTubers responsible for sparking the current ‘influencer boxing’ trend. His matches against Joe Weller and Logan Paul kickstarted a movement that has most content creators at least considering a turn in the ring – either for clout, money, fun, or all three. That being said, it’s been a while since KSI’s last boxing bout. He emerged victorious over Logan Paul in their November 2019 rematch, but since then, he’s been fully focused on his music career. However, little bro Deji’s recent fight against opponent Alex Wassabi stirred up some beef between KSI and his American counterpart… so much so, that fans are convinced these two are set to face off sometime soon. Comments from KSI’s trainer hinted that he was eyeing a bout in late 2022, while angry Instagram comments from Austin McBroom claimed that KSI had turned down an offer to fight him in favor of a turn with Wassabi. KSI hits back at Austin McBroom boxing claims According to KSI, McBroom’s claims simply aren’t true. The YouTuber-turned-rapper said he had no idea when his next fight would be and that no plans were in place to take on Wassabi — but he did say that McBroom had asked for “too much” in a proposed fight deal. “I’m pretty sure we did try to set something up,” KSI explained. “He just asked for too much. He f**king thinks he’s Mayweather! If you’re just gonna be unreasonable, then piss off!” “I didn’t know about any deal with Alex or anything,” he continued. “I didn’t know anything about August. I know I’m fighting, I just don’t know when I’m fighting.” (Topic begins at 12:43) For now, it’s unclear when KSI will enter the ring next and who his opponent will be, but fans can rest assured that he is making his return to the sport of boxing in the near future… it just doesn’t look like Wassabi is in the cards (at least not while Bryce Hall wants a turn with him, first).

KSI collabs with TommyInnit in hilarious video and fans are going crazy for it YouTube: Tom SimonsBritish YouTube stars KSI and TommyInnit teamed up once again for another collab with the former ‘teaching’ the Minecrafter how to ride a bike. In the aftermath, it seems as if fans can’t get enough of the duo’s antics. YouTubers collaborating with their fellow content creators has been happening forever, and while many try and keep to the same circles, there are plenty of unexpected crossovers that get fans really excited. Minecraft star TommyInnit has been at the center of some of these unexpected crossovers in recent months, teaming up with Logan Paul for a podcast before ratio’ing both Dr Disrespect and Addison Rae. He’s also linked up with KSI on a few occasions too, and after their most recent collab – which had KSI ‘teaching’ Tommy how to ride a bike – fans just want to see more of the duo. That’s right, their most recent crossover was all about KSI ‘teaching’ the Minecraft star how to ride a bike, with Tommy repeatedly calling him “sensei” and asking for tips. Ultimately, the Minecrafter managed to keep his pedals spinning for long enough that they could deem the training session a success, and now fans want more regardless of what the video might involve. “This is actually funny lmao. Best collab ever,” commented one. “Seeing Tommy and KSI in one video is the happiest moment ever,” added another fan. “This duo is unstoppable!” Naturally, some fans began rustling up ideas for future crossovers between the two, especially as Tommy brings out the ‘old’ KSI vibes. “This is the closest we’re going to get to classic KSI YouTube videos. Treasure this video,” commented one viewer. The pair clearly get on and with them collaborating on a few videos already, it should keep happening as we move forward.

KSI commends Tommy Fury for beating Jake Paul despite being “tormented for two years” YouTube: KSIAlthough initially claiming both fighters were “trash” shortly after the bout, KSI has since praised Tommy Fury for his win over Jake Paul, admitting he rose to the occasion amid some very real pressure. After years of false starts and multiple setbacks, Jake Paul finally stepped into the ring with Tommy Fury on February 26. After going the distance, Fury ultimately had his hand raised in a split-decision victory. However, despite the win and despite handing Paul his first loss in the sport, not everyone was impressed. KSI was among the first to chime in on social media moments after the fight, laughing hysterically while calling out both fighters as being “trash.” A point he’s raised on numerous occasions, claiming he would “destroy” them without a hassle. Now a few days removed from the contest though, and the British YouTuber now has a new sense of appreciation for Fury’s performance. Admitting that the young boxer was under an immense amount of “pressure” yet still delivered on his promise to come out on top. “Fair play to Tommy,” KSI said in his March 8 YouTube video focusing entirely on the fight. Praising his performance in the end, he claimed it was a solid victory given everything stacked against Fury. “He’d been tormented for two years straight. Being called Tommy Fumbles, everyone saying he was trash, saying he’s not a real boxer, saying he’s not going to be able to beat Jake Paul, saying he’s going to buckle under the pressure. But you know what, he came into that ring and slapped up Jake Paul.” Although one judge had his points in favor of Paul, resulting in a split decision, KSI even went on to shut down this notion entirely. “If we all watch the fight, Jake Paul was getting slapped up.” With his main threat being the overhand right, KSI claimed the outcome of the fight was more or less set in stone when Paul “couldn’t land” his signature strike. “He looked like a fish out of water. There wasn’t any time where I thought, you know what, Jake Paul is gonna knock out Tommy Fury.” With a rematch seemingly on the horizon, it appears KSI will have to wait a little longer to get his hands on his social media rival. “I wish I was the one to do it, but I’m sure I’ll give him another [loss] in the future,” he added. In the meantime, the Sidemen star now appears to have 40-year-old pro boxer Joe Fournier in his sights for his next opponent in the coming months.

KSI clarifies Logan Paul threat after recent boxer deaths YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul met for a surprise press conference on November 7 to bandy words one last time before their upcoming rematch – but some of their trash-talk hit a sore spot for boxing fans. In the thick of the fray – during which Logan Paul mocked his opponent’s intelligence with a surprise math quiz – KSI made a comment that rubbed promoter Eddie Hearn the wrong way. Specifically, KSI claimed that he would “end” Logan Paul’s life, going on to claim that Paul was “going to fucking die. You best believe.” (Timestamp: 46:03 for mobile viewers) Hearn spoke out on KSI’s comments in an interview following the conference, where he admitted to being annoyed by his apparent threat. “They don’t know enough about boxing,” Hearn admitted. “They don’t really respect the game enough to think about what they’re saying. I mean, fighters say that kind of stuff all the time. No one ever means it, but I didn’t like that when it was said multiple times.” (Timestamp: 0:55 for mobile viewers) KSI has since taken to Twitter to clarify his statements, explaining that he merely meant that he would “end” his enemy’s career – not his life. “… I don’t intend to kill Logan physically tomorrow,” KSI wrote in a Tweet on the morning of November 8. “I only intend to kill his YouTube career and spirit. After this fight, I still want Logan to be alive and well.” Just want to clarify a statement I made yesterday at the press conference. I don’t intend to kill Logan physically tomorrow, I only intend to kill his youtube career and spirit. After this fight, I still want Logan to be alive and well. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) November 8, 2019 KSI’s comments follow a string of recent deaths for boxers, with the likes of 28-year-old Maxim Dadashey, 23-year-old Hugo Santillan, and, most recently, 27-year-old Patrick Day passing away due to the sport. With at least three professional boxers falling in the span of a single year, it makes sense that KSI’s insult toward Logan Paul would come across as especially blasphemous in the eyes of the boxing community – although it doesn’t appear that he meant the threat with any actual malice. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QYtuhHyWf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkPaul notably made similar comments during their UK press conference on October 7, claiming that, “I might actually kill you, man,” in response to KSI’s five alleged abortions. (Timestamp: 13:13 for mobile viewers) The internet stars will touch gloves in the Los Angeles Staples Center on November 9 on an all-pro undercard, finally sealing one of YouTube’s greatest rivalries to date.

KSI clowns Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed’s song for having less streams than his YouTube: IShowSpeed, KSI, Kai CenatKSI couldn’t help but take shots at Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed’s song, ‘Dogs,’ saying that his own latest release has gotten more streams despite only being out for a few days. KSI is a man of many talents, being a YouTube star, influencer-boxer, businessman, and a rapper. In fact, music is a major part of KSI’s career, and has seen him launch to the top of the UK’s Top 10 music charts and even score major collaborations with artists like Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Now, KSI has released his latest song, ‘Easy’ — but he’s doing something a bit different to celebrate its launch. KSI takes shots at Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed over new song It turns out that KSI isn’t the only influencer making music right now… not by a long shot. In fact, uber-popular streamers Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed teamed up in an unexpected collaboration to release their very first track, ‘Dogs,’ on April 27. The song was met with mixed reviews from fans and fellow streamers alike, and it looks like KSI isn’t too hot on the tune, either. In a May 22 YouTube video, KSI threw some not-so-subtle shade toward the pair while promoting his song ‘Easy.’ In fact, he compared the amount of streams his song had on Spotify over ‘Dogs,’ finding that his track had over 954k streams versus Dogs’ 887k — despite ‘Easy’ just releasing three days prior. “Bro, it’s almost been out for a month and I have more streams in a week,” KSI said in mock shock. “There’s no way.” (Topic begins at 13:21) However, he was quick to give the streamers their props, noting that the ‘Dogs’ music video racked up well over 6 million views. This is just the latest turn of events in KSI’s rivalry with IShowSpeed after KSI vowed “vengeance” against him when Speed beat out his monthly listens on Spotify last year. Of course, this was all in good fun, as KSI and Speed have been buddies for some time now. In fact, the two even played at the Sidemen Charity football match last year. Is it possible we’ll see a musical collab from these two in the future?

KSI claps back after Tristan Tate says he won’t watch Prime card YouTube: TheDC Shorts, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI had a biting comeback after Tristan Tate said the drama surrounding the Prime card has put him off of watching the big fight on October 14. YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul are gearing up for a massive influencer-boxing event taking place on October 14, which will see the stars face off with British boxer Tommy Fury and mixed martial artist Dillon Danis, respectively. While KSI and Fury have been feuding back and forth for years now, things only ramped up after Fury took on Jake Paul earlier this year. Now that the two are set to finally fight, things are more heated than ever. That’s to say nothing of the major spat happening between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis, who has seemingly made it his mission to antagonize Paul’s fiance, Nina Agdal, on social media. In fact, the situation got so severe that Agdal issued a restraining order against him and is suing him for “no less” than $150,000 in damages. Although it feels like the entire internet has been waiting with bated breath to see how this drama will turn out, others aren’t as enthused about the ordeal… including controversial online figure Tristan Tate, brother to Andrew Tate. Tristan Tate says he won’t watch Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis On October 6, Tristan Tate penned a tweet saying that he was tired of the ongoing “sue-off” surrounding the Prime card and that he will not be tuning in to watch the action. “Now that the single most hyped and anticipated influencer boxing match in world history has turned into a ‘sue-off,’ I won’t be watching,” he wrote. “Trash talk and hype are great and everybody wanted to see it, myself included. However I am uninterested in funding legal teams. I’m out.” Given the Romanian government’s ongoing investigation into the Tate brothers’ activities, Tristan’s last sentiment isn’t unexpected — but KSI had a zinger of a comeback in response to his post. “Guys, time to cancel the Prime Card,” he wrote on X/Twitter. “Tristan Tate isn’t watching.” It’s clear that KSI doesn’t give two hecks whether or not the Tate bros are tuning in to what is expected to be the biggest influencer-boxing event of the year as tensions continue to rise between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis.

KSI claps back at Logan Paul’s editor after announcing his return to gaming Odds Checker / VulturePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji got into a spat with rival Logan Paul’s video editor, Hayden Hillier Smith, after Smith took shots at KSI’s recent return to gaming content. Smith commented under celebrity news outlet The Bread Batch’s Instagram post covering KSI’s recent comeback, claiming that KSI’s “irrelevancy” in the YouTube community is forcing him to return to creating FIFA videos by banking off of nostalgia. “This is an attempt to monetise his fans’ nostalgia of when he was a decent content creator to clamber back,” Smith wrote. “Cute.” https://www.instagram.com/p/BsE5OBnA3Q8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link KSI had a savage clapback to Smith’s comments, reminding him of the time he edited Logan Paul’s highly controversial vlog in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest,’ where he filmed the body of a recently-deceased suicide victim. “You edited a video of Logan Paul filming a suicide victim,” KSI wrote in response. “You have no right to talk.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsjBETUgYE8 That wasn’t the end of the flame war, either; KSI’s own editor, Mo Syed, jumped into the fray, roasting Smith’s spelling errors in his initial comment. “First of all… the dude can’t even spell relevancy,” Syed wrote. “…don’t forget Logan tried playing Fortnite just to be relevant again after what he did.” While Paul has yet to respond to the online spat, KSI has since uploaded a video clearing the air on Logan’s claims that he had broken the terms of their rematch contract, alleging that Paul’s team was responsible for dragging their feet in scheduling a venue and state for the bout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsjBETUgYE8

KSI claims “scared” Jake Paul has gone silent over talks for long-awaited fight YouTube: KSI/Jake PaulKSI continued his war of words with Jake Paul over the negotiations for their boxing match, claiming his longtime rival has “aired” him as he’s “scared” to fight. When YouTube boxing first started making waves back in 2018, it seemed pretty likely that KSI and Jake Paul would square off to settle their beef. It’s been five years since then, and the longtime rivals haven’t gotten close. They’ve constantly talked about fighting each other, with them even negotiating to fight before the end of 2023, but it appears as if they haven’t made any progress in recent weeks. Jake has claimed that he’s open to doing it in the UK, but KSI shut down his “winner take all” offer, noting that he hasn’t yet paid Tommy Fury for that fight. The Brit has even claimed that Jake has “aired” him on negotiations since then. KSI says Jake Paul has “aired” him on talks for boxing fight That’s right, in another round of trash talk, KSI claimed that ‘The Problem Child’ is “scared” to fight him and has “aired” the contract that he sent over. “Bro, for real, he’s just constantly chatting s*it,” the British YouTube star said in his March 28 video. “I don’t understand how his audience just eats up all this s*it that comes out of his mouth. All the time! “Let’s meet in the middle, 180, that’s perfect for me and him! Like yeah, we just went back and forth, and eventually, he just aired my request to sign the contract. Just fight. Look, at this point, Jake doesn’t want it, which is hilarious because Jake was seen as ‘the guy’.” Timestamp of 10:20 As KSI has been keen to point out, he’s already eyeing retirement at the end of the year and wants to go out with a bang by fighting the winner of the Jake vs Tommy Fury rematch. That rematch is reportedly in the works for July, but Tommy has also claimed he’ll fight a ‘bigger’ fight before Jake. So, there are plenty of moving parts that could ultimately make it not happen.

KSI to quit boxing after Jake Paul fight in shock retirement YouTube: MMA FightingYouTube star KSI has revealed that he’s planning on retiring from boxing once he’s fought Jake Paul as he believes he won’t have any reason to continue after that. When KSI and Jake Paul helped kickstart the YouTube boxing scene back in 2018, it seemed like a matter of time before they’d settle their beef and fight for ultimate bragging rights. Fast forward to 2023, and that fight has still yet to happen. Both of them are back active in the boxing scene, with Jake preparing to fight Tommy Fury at long last and KSI eyeing up his fourth fight in nine months with a return to the ring in May. The pair have, though, suggested they could fight each other towards the end of the year in the UK. Nothing has been signed on that front yet, and Jake’s venture into the MMA world does complicate things, but it is KSI’s ultimate end goal. KSI planning on retiring from boxing after Jake Paul fight They both appeared on The MMA hour with Ariel Helwani on February 22, with KSI revealing that he plans to expose Jake as a “fraud” and ride off into the sunset once they eventually fight. “I think he’s a fraud and I’m the guy to expose it,” KSI said, noting that he previously wanted to focus more on his music career – and eventually Prime – when there was talk of him fighting Jake in the past. “I’m going to come in, box him, knock him out, and go back to doing what I was doing before. It’s legacy, man. I have no reason to continue (after Jake). That it is, I’ve got nothing else.” As noted, while the pair have said they’re open to fighting in December, nothing has been signed just yet, and there’s still plenty of time to go.

KSI claims Jake Paul’s WWE debut “ruined” Logan Paul vs Roman Reigns match WWEJake Paul’s WWE debut has been speculated about ever since his older brother Logan joined the company, and it finally happened at Crown Jewel, but it didn’t live up to the hype according to KSI. WWE’s Crown Jewel event took place in Saudi Arabia on November 5 and was headlined by Logan Paul vs. Roman Reigns. Reigns, or ‘The Tribal Chief’ as he’s known now, has kept his family close for much of his run as 765-day run as Universal Champion, and much of the build-up to this match was focused on the fact that he’s been guarded by cousins Jimmy & Jey Uso, as well as their brother Solo Sikoa. When that squad (The Bloodline) interrupted Logan’s attempt at claiming the company’s top belt for himself, Jake Paul came down the ramp in quite an unexpected fashion. Jake Paul saves Logan from The Bloodline at WWE Crown Jewel The Bloodline have been pivotal in keeping Roman Reigns afloat during his legendary run as the face of the company, but they’re no longer the only family attempting to leave a mark on the business. Just when it looked like Logan was helpless at their hands, Jake’s song “It’s Everyday Bro” filled the air of Mrsool Park and ‘The Problem Child’ came rushing in to save the day. He didn’t waste much time before getting to work and fighting off the invading Bloodline members and even delivered a KO-punch to Jey Uso along the way, Eventually, Logan made it back to his feet and helped his brother clear up the rest of the madness with a dive over the top rope onto the opposing faction. Unfortunately for the elder Paul, as soon as he slid back into the ring he was met with Reigns’ signature ‘Superman Punch’ and ‘Spear’ combo, ultimately putting him away and ending the match. KSI claims Jake Paul’s WWE debut “ruined” Logan Paul vs Roman Reigns match It didn’t take long for Jake’s longtime rival KSI to chime in on the state of the match both before and after the young man’s arrival. “Logan vs Roman Reigns has been such a good match so far,” he tweeted, but it didn’t take long for him to switch up his tune. “Jake Paul has ruined it,” he followed up just four minutes later. While KSI and Logan have been good friends (and even business partners) for some time now, that hasn’t stopped the Sidemen leader and younger Paul from having beef. In fact, the two are supposed to square off in the boxing ring in 2023, but with Jake’s victory over Anderson Silva and a potential WWE stint looming in front of him, we’ll have to wait and see if it ever actually happens.

KSI claims Logan doesn’t want him to fight Jake Paul after all ViddalYouTube star KSI has revealed he believes that Logan Paul doesn’t want him to fight his younger brother Jake Paul. Ever since KSI and Logan Paul went toe-to-toe not only once, but twice, fans have awaited the day for the British YouTube star to touch gloves with the younger Paul brother. With a clear rivalry between KSI and The Problem Child, with both eager to prove they’re the best out of all other influencers, a mega-fight has been years in the making. Finally, fans expected the two to step into the ring at some point in 2023. However, after Paul’s defeat to Tommy Fury earlier in the year, the fight has been in major turmoil. Although, according to KSI, he believes that his partner in crime Logan Paul, the other half of their mega-successful Prime Hydration, doesn’t want the bout to ever happen. KSI believes Logan doesn’t want Jake Paul fight to happen In a sit down with his former trainer Viddal Riley, the YouTube star was asked if he’d regret not fighting Jake if the two never touched gloves. Hitting back, KSI once again explained that he feels there’s “no point” after he faces Fury, and may possibly retire from the sport. The ‘Nightmare’ continued, adding that he even believes Logan doesn’t want him fighting Jake. “I even think, I even feel like Logan doesn’t want me to fight Jake,” he said. “Bro, Logan knows how hard I train. He knows I’m relentless. Logan’s fought me, he knows how long it is to fight me.” Viddal agreed, noting that Logan’s already had first-hand experience in the ring. KSI added: “I’m not the type of guy that yes even if you have everything on me, there’s this little bit inside of me that just never gives up, constant, relentless.” “And having to fight that, having to put your all out into fighting this guy, and then he is still coming forward, it’s terrifying,” he said. KSI is expected to go blow for blow with Tommy Fury on October 14, where he aims to do what Jake Paul ‘couldn’t’ and KO the professional boxer.

KSI claims Jake Paul has Tyron Woodley “on a leash” and responds to fight challenge Instagram/KSI/TyronWoodley/JakePaulYouTuber-turned-boxer KSI has responded to a challenge by Jake Paul’s former opponent Tyron Woodley after asking who he should fight in January. KSI has successfully returned to the world of combat sports and has an undefeated record having bested the likes of Logan Paul, Swarmz, and Luis Pineda. Now, he’s looking for his next challenge. On September 14, the British rapper posted a poll to Twitter for fans to vote on who he would battle next with Dillon Danis, Slim, Dr Mike and Tyron Woodley as options. As Tyron Woodley stormed ahead in the poll, Jake Paul stepped in to make things more interesting, asking if his former nemesis would want to duke it out with KSI at 180 pounds. KSI blasts Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul In a post on Twitter, The Problem Child tagged Woodley to inquire about possibly fighting KSI on January and the former UFC champion had no issue accepting. “I’m ready to now!” he exclaimed. “Tell KSI to quit sitting on a Kotex.” Like a shark smelling blood in the water, KSI was quick to respond with a diss of his own, attacking both Tyron and Paul in the process. “Jake Paul really got you on a leash…” he snapped back. KSI explains why he’d fight Tyron Woodley Woodley wasn’t backing down and stormed right back at his possible opponent with some verbal haymakers of his own. “And I’ll dog walk your ass so now what? You wouldn’t accept a fight on two weeks’ notice. Instead, you fought 2 weak-ass warm-ups,” he blasted. “You know my people run the play and put your money where your mouth is! Otherwise, keep my name out your mouth before you get slapped in it.” To this, KSI responded that the only reason he’d want to fight Tyron would be to knock him out faster than Jake. Given how Jake Paul was able to defeat Woodley twice, it will be exciting to see how KSI does against him before a possible bout with The Problem Child down the line. We’ll have to wait and see if the two end up squaring off, but judging by this heated round of back-and-forth insults, it could be one for the ages.

KSI claims Jake Paul would rather call out Joe Rogan than fight him Misfits/Esther Lin: Most Valuable PromotionsKSI has taken another swipe at Jake Paul, suggesting that the younger Paul brother would sooner take on podcaster and MMA commentator Joe Rogan than square up against him in the ring. In an interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, KSI didn’t mince his words when discussing the elusive fight with Jake Paul, a boxing match that fans have been craving for years. When asked about the prospect of fighting Jake Paul after his upcoming bout with Tommy Fury, KSI responded, “Do you think Jake wants to fight me? He wants to fight Nate in PFL for MMA. He doesn’t want to fight me. He didn’t even mention me.” The British YouTuber-turned-boxer pointed out the lack of his promotion during the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight. He indicated that when he was set to fight Fournier, Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz was heavily promoted, but during Jake’s fight against Nate, KSI received no such coverage. Citing this as evidence of Jake’s deliberate avoidance, KSI said, “But when it came to him fighting Nate, nothing of me. He doesn’t want anything to do with me. And that’s okay. That’s fine.” “Of course, it’s a shame. Of course, it’d be huge. But you know, at the end of the day, it takes two to tango, and this brother doesn’t want to dance.” KSI then stated his belief that Jake Paul would continue to dodge the much-anticipated bout with a flurry of other potential match-ups. “Get Jake on here and put it on him and watch him go, ‘Nah, man, I’m trying to be a world champion. First, I need to fight Nate Diaz, you know in PFL for this MMA thing. After that, I might have to rematch Tommy Fury, and then after that, I know the KSI fight is there but I want to fight Masvidal. I want to fight another retired MMA fighter to build my confidence before I look at maybe even sniffing at KSI,’” KSI stated, imitating Paul’s potential responses to the match-up callout. KSI took his claim a step further, adding that Jake would go so far as to challenge 55-year-old UFC commentator Joe Rogan before accepting a fight with him. “Excuse after excuse after excuse, he’ll find. He’ll even call out Joe Rogan.” The claims follow Jake Paul’s victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz, with KSI himself gearing up for a fight against Tommy Fury on October 14. Despite their parallel boxing careers, a match between KSI and Jake Paul remains to be seen.

KSI claims Jake Paul will be “begging” to fight him after ‘costly’ Rahman. Jr PPV Instagram: KSI / Instagram: Jake PaulKSI has called out Jake Paul over the price fans will have to pay to watch his upcoming PPV fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. This online feud added fuel to the fire about the two potentially facing off in a future match. Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against Hasim Rahman Jr has caught the eye of KSI for all the wrong reasons. In response to a promotional video Paul shared about the upcoming fight, KSI tweeted his outrage at the pricing. Paul vs Rahman Jr. is currently priced at $60. KSI reassured fans when he steps into the ring in August, they won’t be paying that much to watch. “I promise you all that my PPV this August 27 will be less than that,” he stated. Never one to back away from a fight, Jake Paul has since hit back against KSI’s comments. “No sh*t dummy,” began Paul when addressing the pricing criticism. “You have one ‘win’. I have five. Coming off of KO of the year.” Paul then went on to say that the two are “not the same” when it comes to their boxing ability and that KSI “shouldn’t charge more than $10.” KSI then agreed with Jake that they’re not the same. However, he adds, “soon you will be begging to fight me, mark my words.” To further poke fun at KSI’s comments, Jake Paul announced that he had won the $1000 contest he was holding for a fan who retweeted his initial announcement comment. Once again, KSI hit back again at Jake Paul, telling Paul to keep the money. “Think you need it more. Gotta pay people to attend your fight buddy, cos that place ain’t selling.” KSI then accused Jake Paul of having lost sight of where he came from:”You didn’t care about the platform that made you who you are. “Constantly denouncing it. I never did. I’m happy to say I’m a YouTuber to this day because now I can do/be whatever I want. I’m thinking long term my guy. You failed at this.” Fans are desperate for a KSI vs Jake Paul fight While a fight between the two is yet to be confirmed, words and interactions like this simply stoke the flames for their eventual face-off. The two were planning on meeting in the ring years ago however, the fight never eventuated. In June 2022, KSI defeated Jake’s brother Logan Paul in a match that went down to the wire. Following this, fans are now calling for Jake Paul and KSI to finally battle it out in the ring. The match between Paul and Rahman is taking place on August 6, 2022. The match is being held at Madison Square Garden. The PPV will also feature Amanda Serrano defending her Unified Featherweight World title against Brenda Carabajal. For more on the Paul vs Rahman Jr. fight, be sure to check out Dexerto’s coverage of the upcoming event.

KSI claims he’s “not comfortable” talking to Wade Plem after Twitter drama YouTube: Sidemen / Instagram: wadeplemTwo days removed from KSI’s explosive Twitter tirade aimed at Misfits Boxing host Wade Plem, the British YouTube star has apologized once again though claimed he’s no longer “comfortable” talking with him in private. With KSI effectively steering the ship at Misfits Boxing, helping promote each event while featuring in many of the brand’s biggest, the internet celeb is naturally going to take criticism to heart. So when influencer boxing reporter and occasional host Wade Plem allegedly praised the recent tag team fight concept in private with KSI, before criticizing it in public, both parties got into a scuffle online on March 21. “This Wade guy plays all sides, trying to please everyone, you are so fake,” KSI said in a string of deleted tweets. “F*** you and everything you stand for you two-faced c***.” As the hours rolled on, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor entered the fight to announce Wade was no longer part of the Misfits broadcast team moving forward. With Plem caught in the middle, taking hits from all sides, he simply asked “what just happened?” amid the outburst. Before long, KSI issued an apology online for his fiery rant, claiming it was “way out of character” and that he’d messaged Plem privately to further express things from his side. Now, more details have been revealed as KSI appeared on Side+ to discuss the situation in more detail and reveal his perspective on Plem. “Wade is obviously allowed to have his opinion on anything,” KSI began. “But I’m allowed to hate on it as well. I’m allowed to not like his opinion.” The main argument against Plem has to do with KSI’s alleged personal interactions behind the scenes. When the tag team boxing concept first surfaced, Plem supposedly backed the idea in private with KSI, calling it “brilliant” at the time. Though online, that wasn’t quite the case as KSI claimed he was critical in public. “Like bro, one minute you’re saying you like it to me in private, then publicly you’re saying what the public wants to hear. With Wade, he just wants to constantly be on everyone’s good side. That’s gonna rub me the wrong way.” While he remains adamant in his stance on Plem in general, KSI did repeat his apology, saying his now-deleted outburst on Twitter was “bad of [him]. I deleted that and I’ve messaged Wade.” Sharing some of the private message in the video, he repeated that his “outburst was so uncalled for. I’m sorry for the tweets. However, I just don’t feel comfortable talking to you. We can be civil publicly, but your comments just rubbed me the wrong way. You can have your opinions but it doesn’t mean I have to like them.” Ultimately, it appears the two can remain peaceful in public, but it doesn’t seem as though KSI wants much to do with the influencer boxing insider moving forward.

KSI claims it’s “impossible” to combat Prime Drink resellers charging inflated prices Today Show AustraliaYouTube star KSI has claimed it’s impossible to combat the Prime Hydration “opportunists” that are scalping the beverage. Despite releasing in the UK almost a year ago, fans are still struggling to get their hands on Prime Hydration. The supply issues and scalpers have gotten so bad, that even some fans have gone above and beyond to launch a ‘Prime Tracker’ — aimed at helping others find the nearest store that currently stocks the beverage. KSI himself has even spoken out against those taking advantage of his fans, putting stores on blast for their absurd markup prices. The situation has only gotten worse with the release of Prime’s energy drinks in the US, where some UK retailers were caught selling the drink at £100 per can. The demand from Prime is through the roof, and while the YouTube star has urged fans to stop buying the drink at a markup, they still continue to purchase from resellers. Many have called for the two YouTubers to take action against those taking advantage. But, according to KSI, it’s an issue that’s “impossible to combat.” KSI claims it’s “impossible” to combat opportunists According to the YouTuber-boxer, a new limited-edition KSI-themed bottle will be hitting UK shelves soon. However, the Prime co-founder isn’t confident that all the stock will actually end up on the shelves — and instead get into the hands of “opportunists.” “We’re sending loads to retailers. However I fear that not all of the bottles will end up on the shelves due to foul play and opportunists,” he said on Twitter. “And I hate to say it but it’s literally impossible to combat that I’m afraid.” Previously, the YouTuber has called out ASDA employees, claiming that the stock is actually being resold rather than put in stores. After being spotted with the new Prime bottle in Australia, fans are pumped to get their hands on it. Though we’ll just have to wait and see if all the stock actually manages to get on the shelves.

KSI claims he’ll be “civil” with arch-nemesis Jake Paul at Logan’s wedding KSI / Jake PaulYouTube star KSI has said he’ll be civil with his rival Jake Paul if the two cross paths at Logan Paul’s wedding. On July 9, Logan Paul completely shocked the online world, announcing his engagement to his now fiancée Nina Agdal — who he began dating just under a year ago. After seeing memes online joking about the two facing each other at the wedding, Jake Paul asked his older brother if KSI will be attending, to which Logan revealed he’ll likely get an invite. “Yeah I mean I’m sure I’ll probably invite him, do you think that’s going to be an issue?” he asked. “No, I don’t care,” Jake responded. Although, the ‘Problem Child’ was quick to note how the two have only been in a public setting with each other once — which almost ended in a brawl. KSI says he’ll be “civil” with Jake at Logan Paul’s wedding Thankfully, KSI doesn’t see any issue either, revealing in a July 22 YouTube video that he’ll be civil with his rival for Logan’s sake. “First of all, Logan’s wedding is going to be crazy. It’s going to be nuts. The amount of A-listers that are gonna be there, it’s going to be unreal,” he said. “There’s going to be so many famous people, it’s going to be so extravagant. It’s going to be legit unreal. Best believe mans putting that Prime money into that wedding.” He added: “For Logan’s wedding, I’m going to keep it civilized.” However, the YouTuber won’t be putting his guard down, explaining that it may end up in them going blow for blow. “If it pops off it pops off innit man. Ah sh*t.” (Timestamp at 2:37) There’s no telling when Logan will be getting married, so there’s a possibility that KSI and Jake may have even thrown down and squashed their beef by then. We’ll just have to wait and see.

KSI claims he’s “most dangerous” YouTuber boxer after Social Gloves event British entertainer KSI has claimed he’s the “most dangerous” YouTube boxer following the Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib Social Gloves card. What started as two YouTubers, KSI and Joe Weller, settling their issues with one another in the ring has flourished into world of what’s now known as Influencer Boxing. Today, there are fight cards popping up all over the shop, featuring influencers such as the Paul brothers, Bryce Hall, Deji, and more putting on the gloves. KSI is just one of many that has proved time and time again that he’s more than confident in stepping in the ring. Now, with 5 fights under his belt, he claims he’s the “most dangerous” YouTube boxer on the scene. KSI claims he’s the best YouTube boxer Despite even fighting two opponents in one night, the British rapper, YouTuber, and boxer KSI feels as if there’s not enough respect on his name. Following the Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib bout on September 10, which resulted in a 4th round KO for Gib, KSI took to Twitter, where he had some tough words to say to his 8.1M followers. “Let’s not put any disrespect on my name now people,” he wrote. “I’m one of the most dangerous boxers in the YouTube scene. I would beat everyone on the Misfits card and both the social gloves cards,” the YouTube star claimed. “No disrespect to any of the fighters but it’s just facts.” Let’s not put any disrespect on my name now people… — ksi (@KSI) September 11, 2022 I’m one of the most dangerous boxers in the Youtube scene. I would beat everyone on the misfits card and both the social gloves cards. No disrespect to any of the fighters but it’s just facts. However, not everyone agreed with the bold statement, as fans began slamming his boxing skills and choice of opponents: “Maybe learn to throw a 1-2 combo up with your strikes show us you’re technique, of course people will doubt if all you do is fight bums and only throw power strikes,” one fan wrote. “Your only serious win was against logan paul even that though was won because he made a bad decision a lost 2 points,” another added. KSI is eyeing up his next bout for sometime early next year. It’s unclear who his next opponent will be, as he’s previously discussed touching gloves with a range of fighters such as AnEsonGib, Andrew Tate, and more. However, fans will certainly be expecting a performance to remember in his next fight, especially after this controversial tweet claiming he’s the “most dangerous” influencer boxer.

KSI claims he will “expose” Jake Paul in long-awaited YouTube boxing fight YouTube: KSI/Jake PaulYouTube star KSI says he’s only fighting Jake Paul so he can “expose” his longtime rival and make him ‘hide’ from the world afterwards. When KSI and Jake Paul beat Logan Paul and Deji respectively, it seemed like the two YouTube phenoms were on a collision course to eventually fight for the ultimate bragging rights. In the years since that first event, the two have taken pretty different paths. KSI hasn’t fought since his rematch with Logan in 2019, while Jake has been focused on boxing and has picked up an undefeated 5-0 record – defeating MMA legend Tyron Woodley on two occasions. With their respective fights for this August falling apart, the pair have agreed to fight in 2023 at Wembley Stadium in what is sure to be the biggest YouTube boxing event of all time. KSI, though, just wants to “expose” his longtime rival. KSI has one specific reason for Jake Paul fight The British YouTube star is scheduled to fight Swarmz on August 27 after his planned fight with Alex Wassabi fell through due to injury – which is part of the reason why he and Jake have agreed to fight. Speaking to TalkSport’s Michael Benson about the potential 2023 matchup, KSI said that he is making a return to action so that he can “expose” his longtime rival, who has been way more active than he. “I know after the fight, once I lay him out, he’s just gonna be hiding in a corner. And I’m gonna be just abusing him for the rest of his life,” the Brit said. With both KSI and Jake having wins under their belt, they’re each going to be extremely confident in their ability to score a win over the other, and a knockout victory will be predicted a few times. Once KSI fights on the 27th, we should know more about when their fight will take place and what other fights will be on the card, so we’ll just have to wait and see how things ramp up.

KSI claims he would “destroy” Tommy Fury and Jake Paul in the ring YouTube: LADbible TVKSI has offered up his thoughts on the recent fight between Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury, with the content creator slamming both fighters for their performance as well as continuing the spark the flames of his a future match up between Jake Paul. The hotly anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury has finally come to an end, with Fury beating out the Paul brother in a close bout. Following the match, KSI has hit out against both in-ring competitors, giving his thoughts on their performance and weighing on on whether or not be things he would be about to go toe-to-toe with both. During the fight, KSI was offering up running commentary on Twitter, with the content creator claiming that Jake Paul was stealing his moves. “Jake Paul tryna copy my bounce lmao. Funny thing is, he has no idea what he’s doing with it.” KSI then added that he believes he would “would destroy both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury” in a fight. However, the real shots by KSI were fired after Jake was confirmed to have lost the match. In a series of video updates posted on Twitter, KSI didn’t bother hiding his enjoyment and glee at the lackluster match and at the outcome. KSI calls out Jake Paul in post-match trash talk “Hey yo, don’t mind me just smoking on that Jake Paul pack. Honestly Jake Paul trash, Tommy Fury, trash.” KSI then laughing animated on the camera before the video update cuts off. In a second video, KSI then states how “Jake, you see the problem with you man, the reason why you lost is because you weren’t drinking Prime baby.” KSI then shouting out “I stay winning b**ch” multiple times before once again ending the video. Given the match has just come to a close, KSI is likely to have more to say about the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight. As well as this, KSI’s comments could also be furthering a future set up and fight between Jake Paul and himself.

KSI claims he has no idea how much he’s being paid for Tommy Fury fight YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI says he “doesn’t even know” how much he’s getting paid to fight Tommy Fury, despite knowing how much his rival will be making. Influencer boxing events have become big business over the last few years, and are now a far cry from the upstart events we had when KSI fought Joe Weller in the first one. These clashes are now happening on professional boxing cards, in front of sold-out arenas, and to millions around the world on pay-per-view. After Jake Paul’s recent win over Nate Diaz, all eyes are on KSI and Tommy Fury, as the two Brits will collide in October. For KSI, he’s focused on the legacy side of things and wants to “do what Jake Paul couldn’t” by beating Tommy. While it’s going to be a moneyspinner for both parties, he doesn’t actually know what he’s being paid for it. KSI “doesn’t know” how much he’s getting for Tommy Fury fight Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, the YouTuber-turned-boxer was asked if this would be the “biggest payday” for him in boxing yet. However, KSI isn’t focusing on the money side of things. “I don’t look at how much I get paid,” he said, much to the confusion of Helwani. “I couldn’t care less. It’s not about the money man, it’s about the legacy bro. It’s about trying to be the best. “I want to prove to the world that Tommy Fury, a boxer who’s boxed all his life, is gonna be facing me, KSI, who was a YouTube gamer and is also in the Sidemen, does all these random things and does boxing here and there. I’ve done boxing for way less years but I have the tenacity, the self-belief, the hard work, and I’m gonna go in there against the odds and beat Tommy Fury.” Timestamp of 17:50 KSI added that he knows his team is getting paid for their work around this fight and that he knows how much Tommy is making, but not himself. “When it comes to money, bro, I don’t even know how much I’m getting paid,” he continued. Regardless of whether he’s being wholly truthful or not, the pay splits for the fight will likely surface closer to fight night – but there’s still a wait to go for that given it’s happening in October.

KSI claims he turned down $10 million deal for his own podcast YouTube: The FellasDuring a guest appearance on a podcast, KSI briefly discussed an offer where the company offered him £10 million to host a regularly scheduled podcast. Popular internet star KSI featured on The Fellas podcast on August 22, where the boxing content creator revealed to Calfreezy and Josh the biggest deal he ever rejected. The conversation started when Calfreezy asked KSI, “What’s the biggest thing you said no to?” KSI pauses to think, then replies “10 plus million.” The hosts are shocked. “You said no to ten plus million? “What industry was it in, the company that offered you the 10+ million?” Cohost Josh chimes in. “It was f**king p*rn wasn’t it?” KSI reveals details of $10m project he rejected KSI promptly denies that possibility. The hosts continue asking questions, attempting to find out exactly what the big deal KSI rejected was. While throwing out questions, one of the hosts asks if the company asked KSI for podcasting. The famous boxing YouTuber nods. “You’re telling me we could potentially had a KSI podcast?” KSI gets into more details about the rejected opportunity. “I think it was either one a week, or one every two weeks.” The clip doesn’t delve into why KSI rejected the deal, or even who offered him the deal for £10 million. Check out the full podcast here. Fans in the YouTube comments suspect the company was Spotify. Others are speculating KSI avoided the podcast because of his other life ventures. A weekly podcast would require commitment from KSI.

KSI claims Gatorade striked his Jidion post amid rivalry with Prime Hydration Instagram: drinkprimeKSI has claimed that Gatorade has hit his tweet praising JiDion with a DMCA claim as the rivalry with Prime Hydration heats up. KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration has certainly been a success so far. The former rivals’ beverage continues to fly off the shelves, and even a year after the initial launch, many fans are yet to get their hands on it. It’s believed that Prime already dominates a portion of the hydration market, and are now going up against the likes of Gatorade. With Prime Hydration’s rivalry with Gatorade continuing to heat up, KSI has claimed the market leader struck his tweet with a DMCA claim. KSI claims Gatorade DMCA’d his tweet After a three-month hiatus from YouTube, JiDion recently returned with a new video tricking Gatorade staff into tasting Prime Hydration. Sneaking into the Gatorade HQ, the ‘Prime Squad’ member offered employees a chance to try new flavors, which were in fact Prime disguised in Gatorade bottles. KSI absolutely loved the stunt and commended the YouTuber for pulling it off. In a February 4 tweet, the Brit praised JiDion as a king — which has since been taken down. The Prime co-founder has now explained that it was actually Gatorade who DMCA’d the tweet. “Gatorade took down my tweet promoting JiDion’s latest video,” he wrote on Twitter. “They really are that triggered.” KSI’s original tweet now has a “Media not displayed” notice, along with the message “This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.” Similarly, Logan Paul’s tweet praising JiDion has also been taken down, showing the same DMCA notice. Prime Hydration continues to reach new heights, and there’s no telling what’s in store next for the brand. However, it’s fair to say fans have loved what they’ve seen so far.

KSI claims Dillon Danis tried exposing his girlfriend amid Logan Paul beef ImPaulsive / MisfitsKSI has claimed Dillon Danis has attempted to get photos of his girlfriend, following ongoing beef between Dillon and Logan Paul, which has seen him taunt Logan with images of his fiance. Leading up to Logan Paul and Dillon Danis’s highly anticipated boxing match on October 14, Danis has constantly taunted Logan by posting photos and edited images of his fiance Agdal on social media. The two have continued to exchange words back and forth about the situation and upcoming fight. Logan has even gone on to take things more personally, with him stating on his ImPaulsive podcast that he has got lots of “dirt” on Dillon Danis about his family – but not revealed it yet. KSI also featured on the episode giving his thoughts on the situation, as he is set to fight Tommy Fury during the same event, dubbed the ‘Prime Card‘. The English YouTuber was set to fight Dillon Danis in 2022, before the ex-MMA fighter abruptly dropped out just 10 days before the event. KSI has since called out Dillon many times for “ducking” their match as the beef between the two looks far from over. He has since stated on Logan’s podcast that Dillon Danis has even tried coming after his girlfriend as well. KSI says Dillon Danis attempted to get photos of his girlfriend JJ appeared on the ImPaulsive podcast on August 29 to promote the upcoming Misfits boxing event as well as their Football star PRIME ambassador Erling Haaland. However, the podcast soon turned to discuss the drama revolving around the images that Dillon has shared of Logan’s fiance Agdal, where KSI gave his opinions. “Now, knowing what I know and how I am now, I feel like it’s a line that’s being crossed.” He said. Before going on to reveal that Dillon Danis had indeed targeted him too. “It got to a period where he started going at my girlfriend and started to look for pictures of my girlfriend,” KSI said. The topic starts at a timestamp of 5:34 from the ImPaulsive podcast which was uploaded to their YouTube account. “When he was going down that route, that’s when I was like, bro, ‘You’re not even fighting me.’ Like, what is going on? “She just wants to keep to herself,” JJ said – he has mentioned on numerous occasions that his girlfriend wants to remain private. As the boxing matches are still weeks away, the beef between Dillon Danis and the two PRIME co-founders looks set to continue.

KSI claims Bryce Hall is why people hate TikTok YouTube: KSI/ TikTok: Bryce HallKSI has claimed Bryce Hall is the reason why people hate TikTok after reacting to his videos on the platform in a “try not to cringe” challenge. KSI and Bryce Hall have begun a war of words ever since the pair preemptively agreed to a fight as long as the TikToker beat YouTuber Austin McBroom in their upcoming match on June 12. The British YouTuber defeated Joe Weller in 2018, before throwing down with rival Logan Paul twice over, ultimately emerging the victor of their long-standing grudge in November 2019. Since then, personalities like Jake Paul, Fouseytube, and others have stepped into the ring to settle their differences and make a name for themselves, Bryce Hall included, who will face off against YouTuber Austin McBroom on the YouTubers vs TikTokers card come June 12. Hall is already seeking out more opponents, successfully starting beef with KSI over Twitter. KSI, on the other hand, gave Bryce the condition that he won’t fight him unless he actually wins against Austin McBroom. Hall then uploaded an entire video calling out KSI, as well as two other British YouTube stars — and KSI decided to clap back with an in-depth analysis of Hall’s sparring match against influencer Stromedy. Read More: How to watch Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather – The trash talk doesn’t end there, as KSI has gone on the attack once again, this time mocking Bryce Hall’s content on the platform that made him famous. The YouTuber began by claiming he would review Hall’s content in a “try not to laugh challenge,” but it quickly became a “try not to cringe challenge” instead. Immediately, KSI wasn’t happy, explaining just how much he hated the videos: “There’s a lot of good content that comes from TikTok, this is not it. This is what tarnished TikTok. This is the sh*t that made people hate TikTok.” He continued, “If I have to suffer, you lot have to suffer with me,” before adding, “I need the drugs that he’s on because it’s unreal. It’s made him so delusional.” Read More: Why is #RIPGabbieHanna trending? – It even made him reconsider agreeing to fight, saying, “At this point, it’s just embarrassing even thinking about fighting you, man.” Although, he did add that he might not have to: “I don’t even think he’s gonna beat Austin.” But while a war of words is one thing, a physical fight is quite another, and no insult will guarantee success if the two do eventually take their beef into a boxing ring.

KSI claims Dax backed out of fight despite meeting lavish demands Instagram: thatsdax / YouTube: KSIPopular YouTuber JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has claimed that rapper Daniel ‘Dax’ Nwosu Jr. backed out of a potential boxing match, despite him agreeing and meeting a number of lavish demands made by the Canadian. The pair got into a heated argument on Twitter back in February, when Dax told KSI to stop mentioning his name in videos or else he would fly to London to confront him. When Olatunji invited the rapper over to the United Kingdom for a boxing match, Dax then posted a list of demands that would have to be met if the fight was really going to take place. Included in Nwosu’s demands were first class flights to London, accommodation in a five-star hotel and a luxury vehicle with “IT’S DAX” written on the license plate to transport him from the airport. In a new video uploaded on March 10, KSI reacted to memes posted on his subreddit by his fans and claimed that Dax turned down the fight even though he met his demands. “For real, you know Dax was not expecting me to meet his demands,” said KSI. “I was like, alright send me your details.” KSI then pretended to be Dax, putting on a frightened expression before saying: “Wait, what?” Clip starts at 2:18 for mobile users. While it seems unlikely that KSI will square off against Dax inside the boxing ring, it does seem likely that he will take on one of the Paul brothers – although not the one you might have expected. KSI has said that Jake Paul has “blown his chance,” and suggested he may take on Logan’s brother Jake instead.

KSI challenges Sneako to spar after Tate ban results in heated Twitter feud YouTube: SneakoBritish social media star KSI is lashing out at fellow YouTuber Sneako following Andrew Tate’s controversial social media bans. Controversial internet personality Andrew Tate has been banned from almost every social media platform at this point. In the past few months, videos of the former kickboxer have amassed billions of views across YouTube and TikTok. Tate was banned largely due to his inflammatory and misogynistic comments regarding women. However, many of his fans, including 23-year-old internet personality ‘Sneako’ have jumped to his defense, claiming he has the right to freedom of speech. On the other hand, the likes of KSI have spoken out against the kickboxer, where he even jokingly thanked god for banning Tate from social media. Now, Sneako and KSI are going back and forth over Twitter, and things are certainly heating up between the two. KSI argues with Sneako over Andrew Tate ban In a video on August 24, Sneako, despite being a fan since he was 10-years-old, called out the British star for supporting Andrew Tate’s ban – even though KSI has had similar controversies in the past. “You’ve been cancelled so many times for doing Hesky time, the r*pe face, making fun of sexual assault victims, it’s what you were doing,” Sneako noted. “Now you’re celebrating the downfall of somebody else.” “You’re just echoing what they’re wanting you to echo because you’re scared of getting cancelled again, so you’re siding with the elites. You’re siding with the programming because you almost got your sh*t taken away.” He also referenced the most recent Sidemen Tinder video, which promoted adult creators to their young audience. However, KSI was unphased by Sneako’s comments and revealed he doesn’t have the time for him. “You’re lucky that I ain’t got time for this,” he replied in a tweet. From there, the situation escalated as Sneako hit back, arguing that KSI has no principles or character and saying everything is about clout for him. No principles or character, everything is about clout to these people. https://t.co/oYXTNvWHkw — SNEAKO (@TheSNEAKO) August 24, 2022 KSI then retaliated: “Keep feeding bulls**t to your audience… Remember, I’ve been doing this way longer than you have,” he wrote. Once again, Sneako replied by making a note that KSI stands for knowledge, strength and integrity, and quoted his comments that he was just “trolling” that he was thankful Andrew Tate was banned. “I was just trolling” https://t.co/h0aZQuFfQP pic.twitter.com/LCf49wlubA — SNEAKO (@TheSNEAKO) August 25, 2022 Things heated up even more when the British YouTube star called out Sneako to spar in the ring and test how “alpha” he really is. “If you’re such a ‘Top G,’ if you’re such an ‘alpha’ like your daddy Tate, why not test that alpha? Let’s us have a little spar and see how manly you really are in person? You can talk that talk behind a screen but in the real world, you’ll act different I’m sure,” he said. He continued: “But I’m guessing ‘violence is not the answer’ when it doesn’t suit you or your narrative. You can quote RT me as many times as you want. I guarantee that you will not get the ‘clout’ you crave for. You’re a piece of sh*t, and I tried helping you in a dms because I’m not fake.” KSI tried to end the conversation with one final blow to the 23-year-old: “But as I can see, you’re truly just a man with 0 values,” he said. “F**k anyone over to be the main guy at the top of the ladder. Demeaning to women, demeaning to Islam, demeaning to people and their weight for your bubble. Your truth is a lie. You’re a trend that’s dying. Enjoy it for now.” But as I can see, you’re truly just a man with 0 values. Fuck anyone over to be the main guy at the top of the ladder. Demeaning to women, demeaning to Islam, demeaning to people and their weight for your bubble. Your truth is a lie. You’re a trend that’s dying. Enjoy it for now. — ksi (@KSI) August 25, 2022 However, it didn’t end there, as Sneako tweeted, “What is real will prosper,” forcing KSI to reveal DMs between the two where he offered help and hoped that Sneako wouldn’t end up like Andrew Tate. The heated argument finished shortly after that as KSI once again explained how he was joking about thanking god that Tate was banned from social media.

KSI claims $10k of Amazon vouchers were taken by YouTube employee checking his video YouTube: JJ OlatunjiBritish rapper, YouTuber and entrepreneur KSI has claimed that over $10,000 in Amazon vouchers were mysteriously claimed ahead of a private video’s publication, fuelling speculation that a YouTube employee may have redeemed them. KSI’s non-YouTube ventures have been wildly successful, from his music to Misfits boxing to PRIME Hydration, founded alongside once nemesis Logan Paul. Plenty of KSI fans have also remained grateful that the superstar has not left YouTube behind, still regularly uploading to the platform on which he made his name. However, a ‘Try Not to Laugh’ video planned for 26 November was delayed and shrouded in controversy after $10,000 worth of Amazon gift cards were mysteriously redeemed ahead of the video’s publication. As a result, KSI explained that he suspects a YouTube employee to have taken them, stating that the only people who saw the video ahead of its publication were himself, his editor Mo and a YouTube staff member who “checked” the video. He said: “Well…No point trying to collect the gift cards in the latest TNTL. It’s been claimed before the video is even out. It’s not me, it’s not Mo, the only person that’s watched the video is someone at YouTube to check whether the video should be demonetised or not.” Attached to the tweet was a screenshot of JJ’s email account, showing a number of Amazon Gift Cards being redeemed. In a follow up tweet, KSI explained that he’s determined to get to the bottom of it, saying whoever took the codes made over $10,000. “Imma find out who the person that works for YouTube is,” he said, “cos this ain’t it. Bro just made 10K+ in Amazon gift cards.” His editor, Mo Syed, responded similarly: “Video was supposed to be out today. But we delayed it til tomorrow coz of timings, so listed privately on Youtube. Next thing you know, CODES being claimed whilst video was “manually” checked by Youtube.” At the time of writing, YouTube have not responded to the allegations, nor has a resolution been forthcoming. The video was published early on November 27 instead. If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.

KSI challenges Dillon Danis to hilarious bet in case of possible boxing match British YouTuber, rapper, and boxer KSI has challenged MMA fighter Dillon Danis to a hilarious bet, saying if two ever step in the ring together, the loser has to shave their head. Following on from his monumental two fights in the same night, KSI is looking to step back in the ring come January. There are all sorts of rumors suggesting that KSI could be touching gloves with the likes of Andrew Tate, Tommy Fury, or even Tyron Woodley in his next bout. However, things are certainly getting heated between the YouTube star and MMA fighter Dillon Danis, with the two having a back-and-forth feud on Twitter. Now, KSI has suggested a hilarious bet if the two ever fight, with the loser having to shave their head in the ring. KSI suggests hilarious fight bet with Dillon Danis Dillon Danis and KSI have been arguing quite a bit on Twitter in the last couple of weeks, with the two throwing various insults at one another. On September 15 it was no different, as KSI provoked Danis with another tweet. “Anything you wanna say to me today p***y,” he asked. Dillon answered back: “What should be on the line if we fight, you numpty?” The YouTuber responded by challenging Dannis to a bizarre bet, where the loser of their potential bout lets the winner shave their head. “Loser must let the winner shave his head in the ring after the fight,” KSI replied. Loser must let the winner shave his head in the ring after the fight. https://t.co/ohHrMRTRib — ksi (@KSI) September 15, 2022 KSI’s next fight is expected to be sometime in January, where we might be seeing former rival and business partner Logan Paul on the same fight card. It’s unclear who we’ll be seeing ‘The Nightmare’ face off against. Till his next opponent is announced, fans are having an absolute blast seeing the tension build with Dillon Danis.

Jake Paul accepts KSI fight after Nate Diaz arrest warrant for KOing Logan Paul lookalike YouTube: JJ Olatunji, BS w/ Jake Paul, ESPN MMAKSI has issued a challenge to fight Jake Paul in August after his next opponent, UFC legend Nate Diaz, is facing charges for knocking out a Logan Paul lookalike and The Problem Child accepted. Nate Diaz went viral this past weekend when he knocked out a Logan Paul lookalike during a street brawl in New Orleans, but unfortunately for the MMA great, he’s facing big consequences for his actions. During the Misfits x DAZN Series 006 boxing event, Diaz was at the epicenter of a brawl earlier in the night when he threw a water bottle at celebrity Chase DeMoorput, who knocked out YouTuber Stevie Knight. Later that night, Diaz got in on more action when he put Logan Paul lookalike Rodney Peterson in a chokehold, causing him to go unconscious – but New Orleans police aren’t letting him get off. KSI wants to replace Nate Diaz in Jake Paul fight after arrest warrant After a report that the New Orleans Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Diaz for second-degree battery, KSI took it as an opportunity to secure a match with rival Jake Paul. “Well, if that means Jake won’t have an opponent in August…Then I’ll gladly come as the replacement after I KO Joe Fournier in May,” the rapper said on Twitter. Of course, nothing is confirmed just yet, and it’s not even clear if this legal issue will end up preventing a bout between The Problem Child and the UFC star – but in case it does, KSI is ready to step in. Fo his part, Jake Paul accepted KSI as a replacement opponent, replying back, “I accept you as the backup opponent. Fight is at 185. There are no rehydration clauses. Stay in shape and we will give you a call if needed. Thanks buddy for being so humble and committed.” Regardless, whoever Jake Paul ends up between Diaz and KSI is going to have their hands full trying to add a second L to the YouTuber’s record after his surprising split-decision loss to Tommy Fury.

KSI camp ‘guarantees’ Jake Paul super fight will happen soon YouTube: KSI/Jake PaulKSI’s manager has ‘guaranteed’ that the YouTube super fight between him and Jake Paul will take place in 2023 as fans eagerly await the clash. Even though YouTubers have been trying to prove their boxing skills against pro fighters, there’s only one fight that still matters to a lot of fans – Jake Paul vs KSI. The pair have been embroiled in a long-time feud and have been on a collision course to fight for a few years, but it hasn’t happened to this point. Why? Well, they’ve gone in different directions a bit – with KSI taking a break from fighting and Jake racking up a 5-0 record. With KSI getting back into the boxing game, it’s brought back the possibility that they might fight in the coming months. The two internet superstars have even ‘agreed’ to a fight at Wembley, but have tempered expectations a bit since that exchange. KSI manager ‘guarantees’ Jake Paul fight happens in 2023 Now, KSI’s manager – Mams Taylor – has guaranteed that the pair will clash in 2023, unless something really goes awry. “2023, as long as there’s no f**kery on the contracts, 2023 that fight will happen,” Taylor told Christian HD prior to the Misfits & DAZN X Series clash between Jay Swingler and Cherdleys. “Guaranteed as much as you can guarantee. I can guarantee from our side, yes,” KSI’s manager added. Timestamp of 2:20 As noted, while KSI and Jake have both said they’ll do the fight, they’ve both backtracked a little. On KSI’s side, he believes he’s got to get a few more wins under his belt before he can test himself against Jake. On Jake’s side of things, he believes that KSI is only keeping the possibility open to build hype for his other fights. ‘The Problem Child’ is also targeting a fight with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez before long too, which could disrupt that. There is certainly plenty of interest around the fight, but who knows if it will actually happen after all this time.

KSI challenges Andrew Tate & Tommy Fury after dominating Swarmz & Pineda YouTube: DAZN BoxingKSI has officially launched a challenge to both Tommy Fury and Andrew Tate after knocking out Swarmz and Luis Alcarez Pineda on the same night at the O2 Arena. KSI’s double fight night was a success on all fronts for the influencer-turned-boxer and off the back of two big wins, he has called out two fighters that have been buzzing in the entertainment world. While Andrew Tate, a former professional kickboxer, has yet to get involved in the boxing world, he does have a rumored fight against Jake Paul coming down the pipeline. Tommy Fury was formerly set to take on The Problem Child earlier this year as well, meaning both fights are plausible on paper. KSI calls out Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury for boxing matches It was all high-hands and celebration after KSI scored a TKO over Luis Alcarez Pineda in his second fight of the night on August 27. In the post-match interview, the entertainer didn’t hold back on his future fighting aspirations. He issued a few other challenges, including one for Slim Albaher who also fought and won on the night’s card, before announcing his main goals. “Andrew Tate! I want a piece of that,” he announced, before adding another name to the list. “Tommy Fury! I want a piece of that!” ‘The Nightmare’ still wasn’t done either, as he went on to reassure fans that Jake Paul is still his main target, but that he’ll have to “put his rounds in” before that match eventually happens. In the moments afterward, social media exploded with opinions over whether or not Olatunji is truly ready for these bouts. Popular streamer summit1g was one of the more noticeable voices claiming that the young fighter may have jumped the gun with his list. There may not be an official answer from any of these fighters for a while to come, but it’s clear that after moving to the 3-0 that KSI believes he’s ready to take on a different class of athlete than who he has previously faced. Whether or not he’s right, he also said that he’ll be fighting again in January, so fans won’t have to wait long to see what comes next.

KSI calls out his former head teacher for kicking him out of school Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji’s former head teacher called him his most famous pupil, and the YouTuber had a classic response ready for him. Before he was making YouTube videos with millions of views or boxing Logan Paul, KSI went to school just like the rest of us. While his experience didn’t exactly go as planned, it ended up not being too much of a detriment as he became famous out of it. It’s always tough to explain to a parent, grandparent, or even a former teacher that you make your money just by making videos on the internet. With that said, KSI did as good of a job as he possibly could when explaining in an interview with The Sunday Times. “I make videos on the internet sometimes,” KSI said. “I also do music sometimes. I also do boxing sometimes. So, with the internet videos, I do it on YouTube. I make videos about everything. I do videos of people sending memes to me on Reddit and I react to them, say how I feel about them. Sometimes I do gaming videos.” His former head teacher Mark Steed caught wind of this interview, and used it as an opportunity to reflect on the time when KSI was his pupil. Read More: Anthony Fantano breaks down in tears reviewing Mac Miller’s “Good News” Steed calls him “undoubtedly the most famous pupil” from his time as headship, but it appears the YouTube star has different memories of that time. “Why’d you kick me out though,” KSI asked with a laughing emoji. The school in question is Berkhamsted, and even though he ended up being booted from there, it wasn’t a total loss as this is where he met future Sidemen member Simon Minter. Being kicked out of school would usually end up being a big deal for most people, but KSI was able to make the most out of it and have a very successful career. Lightning even struck twice in the same family as his brother Deji has also been able to make a career out of YouTube, and even stepped into the world of boxing himself. KSI has already headlined boxing matches at Manchester Arena and Staples Center, so fans are excited to see what’s next for the YouTube star.

KSI calls out Jake Paul after YouTuber KO’s Nate Robinson in boxing bout Instagram: Jake Paul / Twitter: KSIIt’s been no time at all, but Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has already called out Jake Paul ahead of their prospective bout at Madison Square Garden, saying that after his performance against Nate Robinson, Paul stands no chance. It was the fight everyone had their eyes on November 28. On the undercard of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr, YouTuber Jake Paul was set to bout with NBA star Nate Robinson. What we got instead was a bloodbath. Robinson was trounced by Paul, getting knocked down multiple times before Paul laid the final blow in the second round. Robinson barely laid a glove on Paul despite coming out all guns blazing. https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1332901156972945430 While millions watched, there was one spectator on the sidelines with more on the line than most — Jake Paul’s next prospective opponent, KSI. The YouTuber has already faced off against Paul’s older brother Logan, beating the American not once but twice. Jake fancies his chances a little bit better, but KSI wasn’t impressed by the younger brother’s skills against Robinson. As soon as the fight ended, KSI already started the war back up with the Pauls. “I saw nothing special from Jake lol. Soon come,” he said on Twitter. The thinly-veiled threat at Jake Paul is alluding to their prospective bout at Madison Square Garden, pending the current global situation. Paul has been pretty vocal about making sure the fight goes ahead, saying he has a point to prove against the British YouTuber. “KSI vs Jake Paul is 100% gonna happen. If I die without that happening, I would be so upset. It has to happen, for the culture,” he said in September. While Paul didn’t direct address KSI post-fight — instead calling out Conor McGregor for a bout — the rivalry between the two YouTubers is fierce. I mean what fighter with this big of a platform is calling out Mcgregor? ITS GONNA HAPPEN. YOU WILL ALL SEE. @AudieAttar I’ll call you this week— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) November 29, 2020 One can only hope they do actually make good on their promise and get in the ring.

KSI calls his next boxing opponent “a challenge” compared to previous fights YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI teased that he’s got his next boxing match locked in, calling his next opponent a “challenge” compared to his bouts against Swarmz and Luis Pineda. KSI is fresh off his victory against both British rapper Swarmz and Mexican pro boxer Luis Pineda — but it seems like he’s already got his next bout lined up. The influencer-boxer mentioned his next match during a live stream in early October, where he called his upcoming opinion a “challenge” in comparison to his last two fights, as well as seemingly confirming his next fight has been locked in. “Who am I fighting next?” he said, reading one fan’s comment aloud. “You’ll find out soon enough. Your boy’s getting challenged. I love a good challenge. It’s what I need, man.” “I felt like I didn’t really get a challenge in my last few fights. …But we knew, especially with Swarmz, that it wasn’t gonna be a challenge. I expected more from Pineda. But oh well.” (Topic begins at 1:18) Who is KSI boxing next? KSI didn’t mention who he’ll be taking on next, but fans have a fair few ideas. Most notably, mixed martial artist Dillon Danis has been itching for a fight with KSI as rumors swirl that the two might touch gloves in January. However, there’s also the issue of Jake Paul, with he and KSI appearing to agree to a bout sometime in 2023. Unfortunately for fans, this has yet to be confirmed, and Paul has even slammed the British creator for allegedly ‘ducking’ him about the match. That’s not all; even UFC champ Tyron Woodley has called out KSI, demanding he stick to the results of his own Twitter poll, where fans picked Tyron as the next fight he should take. For now, it’s unclear who KSI’s next opponent will be, but it’s certain that he’s going to be facing a challenge — one that he’s happy to take.

KSI calls Jake Paul fight a “waste” of time as ticket sales fall flat YouTube star KSI has called a fight with rival Jake Paul a “waste” of his time as ‘The Problem Child’ struggles to sell out his next clash. For years fans have waited for KSI and Jake Paul to step in the ring and finally put an end to their long-standing rivalry. At the beginning of 2023, it seemed that a fight was imminent, and set to go down at some point in the year. However, as we approach the end of 2023, a fight between the two is nowhere in sight and looks further away than ever. Jake Paul is currently gearing up to take on 10-1 professional boxer Andre August on December 15, although it appears the 26-year-old is struggling to sell out the venue, despite it being his smallest yet. KSI slams Jake Paul fight a “waste” of time Responding to reports on December 12 that Jake Paul is yet to sell out his clash against Andre August, with the fight scheduled just days away, KSI hit out explaining it would be a “waste” of his time to touch gloves with ‘The Problem Child’. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore,” he wrote in a post on Twitter/X. “I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol.” Regardless, it’s clear many still want the fight. In the replies, several users slammed the British YouTube star for “ducking” Paul, with many claiming he’s simply “scared of losing.” “I’ve been a KSI fan for years, but let’s be honest, he’s been ducking Jake Paul and is scared of losing,” one wrote. “How many times are you going to duck this fight man?” another hit out. Furthermore, fans claimed that they’re “owed” the ultimate showdown between the two YouTube stars after years of building up hype. “The people demand KSI vs Jake. Stop ducking. It’s about legacy and not hype. You owe it to us bro,” one said. With that said, it remains to be seen whether or not we’ll ever see the two settle their differences. However, we know for sure that fans want them to touch gloves. Regardless, we’ll be sure to keep you updated with any news right here on Dexerto. For now, make sure to check out our hub on all influencer boxing matches.

KSI called out for ‘ungrateful’ response to street mural of himself WMG via KSI YouTubeOne of YouTube’s biggest creators, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, is taking a lot of heat for his ‘ungrateful’ response to a massive mural of himself made special for one of his fans. The YouTuber was tagged on an incredible portrait, but the face of the Sidemen was more curious about the purpose of the painting rather than the voicing his praise for the craft, and people quickly took notice. “Painted for my daughter at my Ladywell wall,” artist Lionel Stanhope said while featuring a larger-than-life creation in honor of the famous content creator. KSI noticed the painting, and replied in kind: “Why would your daughter want you to do this?” with laughing emojis. The YouTuber found the gesture a bit humorous, but his reaction hit a soft spot with onlookers who took issue with how he reacted. Why would your daughter want you to do this? 😂😂😂 https://t.co/jIWuNETzHv — ksi (@KSI) September 5, 2020 “She’s probably a fan of you dawg,” one person told KSI. “You gotta start appreciating the things some people do for you in your Reddit videos as well. Trashing a lot of talented people that put effort and time into giving you a piece of their art and you just ignore that to clown them in any way…” More people were memeing the YouTuber for his response, with some people thinking that his reply was a bit disparaging to the artist that actually got the mural up regardless of its purpose. “Mate, he spent ages doing that. Show a bit of decency,” another person said, with other accounts also expressing similar sentiments. https://twitter.com/fawazshefeek/status/1302340077696188416 The 27-year-old YouTuber has been known to make hilarious digs at his own expense, but most people didn’t believe this occasion merited that kind of retort. That said, not everyone was convinced that KSI was bashing on the painting; one user pointed out that he may be making fun of his own image being portrayed in an impressive way rather than the mural itself: “I’m pretty sure he’s calling himself ugly lmao.” He can be like that sometimes. Then he will add a “”im joking”” or “”haha”” or in this case laughing emojis to say “”it’s just a joke””. This is something Deji pointed out but nobody cared because it’s Deji and they were toi busy making fun of him — shane (@Sahvendra) September 5, 2020 As to why Stanhope’s daughter would want this portrait made, one person said, “Because you (KSI) are a hero in many of our lives, and without knowing you personally it can get hard to show our respect and how thankful we are.” The star YouTuber has yet to respond to the backlash, but until then, there’s been plenty of people filing in to commend the artist for his efforts.

KSI calls for Soccer Aid changes after fans blast “disgusting” treatment of Miniminter Soccer AidThe Soccer Aid 2024 charity match has been slammed online, with the likes of KSI weighing in and calling the match “boring” and not inclusive of the celebrity and influencer participants. Soccer Aid 2024 has come and gone, the yearly exhibition soccer match in which the UK’s favorite and most popular celebrities and ex-soccer players come together to raise money for UNICEF. This organization is dedicated to helping young children in need and supporting communities in developing countries. The 2024 Soccer Aid match included some big names, including but not limited to the following stars: Maisie Adam (Comedian), Theo Baker (YouTuber), Tony Bellew (Former boxer), Petr Cech (Former footballer), Tommy Fury (Boxer) and more. While the match was filled with show-stopping moments — including the fastest man alive Usain Bolt being stretchered off the pitch — one of the biggest talking points from the match was the treatment of Miniminter. Miniminter is a widely popular YouTuber and part of KSI’s Sidemen — a group of content creators who have over 10 million subscribers on the platform. Despite being plastered all over the advertising for the match, Miniminter only played the last 15 minutes of the match and even then, was unable to really get a touch on the ball. As such, many online have slammed the match for being more focused on the ex-players passing between each other and less about the content creators able to show off their soccer skills. One X user wrote, “I wouldn’t go again if I was Miniminter. Disgusting from all involved. Plaster his face everywhere for promotion and then give him 15 minutes at the end and didn’t even get a touch of the ball.” KSI himself weighed in on the match, claiming that he found it “awful” and “boring” while still recognizing that the event was for a good cause. “I’m very glad Soccer Aid raised a lot of money today. Always brings a smile to my face every year. “However, as a football match, that was an awful and boring watch. It was literally ex-pros just passing amongst themselves, dribbling past people, and shooting from anywhere constantly [laugh out loud]. Would much rather it just be influencers and entertainers play. Would make the game a lot closer too and more enjoyable to watch as a viewer.” The streamer then added, “Just feel like you should give more game time to people who don’t normally get to play in front of these crowds, as opposed to giving pros most of the minutes.” The sentiment that Soccer Aid 2024 should be exclusively played by non-ex-pro soccer players was shared throughout the internet, with another X user stating, “It was actually disgraceful that they used Simon for promo all week and only played 15 minutes and literally no one even passed him the ball.”

KSI brutally roasts Austin McBroom after AnEsonGib defeat at Social Gloves boxing event IG: AustinMcBroom / KSIBritish rapper and boxer KSI has roasted the Ace Family’s Austin McBroom, after the American was brutally KO’d by AnEsonGib at the Social Gloves: No More Talk boxing event. YouTube boxing’s latest iteration took place on September 10, with AnEsonGib and Austin McBroom headlining the Social Gloves: No More Talk event. The event’s undercard saw five fights prior to the main event, with Austin’s brother Landon drawing with Adam Selah in one of the more eventful bouts. Despite the acrimony that surrounded the main event though, it was a fairly one-sided fight, with Gib outclassing McBroom in almost every department. It resulted in a fourth-round KO, with a third knockdown seeing McBroom hit the mat hard and the referee promptly end the fight. It casts doubt on McBroom’s future in boxing, with the Ace Family creator previously speaking of the Gib bout as a precursor to a future fight with KSI. That looks incredibly unlikely now, especially in the wake of KSI’s impressive dual victory over Swarmz and Luis Pineda. Reacting to the Gib defeat, KSI roasted McBroom in a trademark manner. A first tweet simply saw the Brit laughing hysterically at McBroom, while a second mocked him for demanding a $3m dollar fight. “This man wanted to fight me for 3 million dollars,” KSI said. “More like 3 cents hahaha.” Attached to his comments was an image of McBroom sprawled on the canvas after being KO’d by Gib. A third and final tweet joked that McBroom was at the level of rapper Swarmz, whom KSI dispatched with ease: “McBroom vs Swarmz. Sounds like a good match up to me.” It remains to be seen who KSI announces as his next opponent, with many fans eager to see him and Jake Paul finally settle their differences in the ring. He did, though, state that he’d be open to a fight with AnEsonGib if his compatriot was down. McBroom, on the other hand, looks set for a spell away from boxing as a result of the humbling defeat.

KSI brutally knocks out sparring partner ahead of Logan Paul fight Those doubting YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji ahead of his big boxing rematch with Logan Paul might be forced to think again after footage showing him brutally knocking out a sparring partner was released. It didn’t end the way either of these two popular internet personalities wanted it to when they were first pitted against each other in August 2018, but the rematch on November 9 – where they won’t be wearing protective headwear – is easily one of the most highly anticipated bouts of the year. The two boxers are set to face off in a cruiserweight division match at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, with Logan Paul the bookmaker’s favorite to come out victorious. However, KSI has certainly been showing what he’s capable of in training. Footage of the 26-year-old has been doing the rounds online, after first being posted to The Mayweather Channel on YouTube, showing just how ready JJ is for this big rematch in the City of Angels. During the brief clip of him boxing, KSI throws a deadly combination of strikes before knocking out his sparring partner – even while they’re wearing protective gear. Whether or not he will be able to replicate that sort of performance on the big stage remains to be seen, but it’s definitely a huge warning sign for his opponent as they prepare. Following the brutal knockout, which came in the second round of the fight, professional cutman Jacob ‘Stitch’ Duran had his say on just how impressed he has been with KSI’s performances in the training camp. “What a way to finish up a training camp. I guess there’s only one word… Devastating. You know, to see the progression that JJ has done since I’ve seen him here in Las Vegas has been night and day,” he said, but what came after that was even more interesting. Duran also stated that the YouTuber is now “knighted as a fighter” in the run-up to what will be the biggest ever night of boxing, not only for him, but for Logan Paul as well. Those same sentiments were shared by WKA World Kickboxing Champion Amer Abdallah, who said that the last sparring session was the “exclamation point” as he beat down a much more experienced boxer in the ring to bring his camp to a close.

KSI blown away as new Adidas shoes sell out and resellers triple the price KSIStar YouTuber KSI’s new Adidas shoes, the Forum Hi’s, sold out less than a day after release leaving fans scrambling for a pair of the exclusive kicks. After making waves on YouTube over the last decade, KSI has branched out into tons of new business opportunities over the last few years. He launched new sports drink Prime Hydration with fellow YouTube star and boxing competitor Logan Paul, to massive success. Not every investment of his has made a profit, however. Back in January, he revealed he had lost an unbelievable $5 million in cryptocurrency investments in 2021. Even after losing a nice chunk of change in the crypto market, his new Adidas shoe launch should keep him in solid financial standing. KSI Adidas shoes sell out The YouTuber was stunned on April 9 when he announced that his new shoe, the Forum Hi from Adidas, instantly sold out. “RIP. All sold out lol,” he said sharing a picture of the red and black high top kicks. He followed that up with another tweet showing that every retailer carrying the shoe had sold out completely sold out, leaving the only avenue to obtain them coming from resellers who’ve jacked up the price. How to get KSI’s Adidas shoes With the Forum Hi’s currently sold out, the only way to get KSI’s new Adidas shoe is via third party sellers, like StockX. If you don’t want to pay resale prices, you can continue to monitor Adidas’ official website, though it is unclear when the next restock for the shoe will be. Hopefully for KSI fans looking to grab a pair Adidas will have a restock of the shoe soon enough.

KSI gives brutal response to Logan Paul’s “Maverick” documentary YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI are set to touch gloves in the net’s most anticipated boxing rematch in just seven days – and Paul is capitalizing on the hype with yet another documentary. Released on November 2, Paul’s “The Maverick” film takes viewers through his Ohio childhood and past controversies, weaving a compelling tale that explains how boxing seemingly turned the YouTuber’s life around. While Paul’s fans seem to love the soul-baring documentary, others are not as impressed with the forty-minute feature – including his rival, KSI. KSI responded to the video in a brutal Tweet on the same day, commenting on its thumbnail photo that closely resembles Marvel’s “Thanos Snap” disintegration effect. “Even you know you’re about to disappear,” KSI wrote of the video. Even you know you’re about to disappear… https://t.co/7Ng3kXHrrP — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) November 2, 2019 Paul clapped back at his comments in kind, writing, “Who wants to tell him it’s about last year” – pointing out the fact that KSI likely didn’t watch the documentary. who wants to tell him it’s about last year https://t.co/8MIUzV0zED — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) November 2, 2019 This wouldn’t be the first time the two have bandied words ahead of their rematch, either: KSI had an incredulous reaction to Paul’s “Forty Days” video hitting the number one spot on YouTube’s Trending page several days prior, despite his own video having more views. In fact, KSI’s own video sat at second place with over 2.9 million views – a stark contrast to Paul’s 1.5 million view mark, which caused understandable confusion from the UK creator. “How does Logan got more views than me?” KSI queried: a sentiment echoed by many fans, some of whom accused YouTube of favoritism in preparation for their upcoming bout. Thus far, Logan’s latest documentary has yet to hit the Trending page, at all – but with just a week left until they finally settle their grudge, KSI’s insult comes as a well-timed jab to heat up their long-standing rivalry ahead of the main event. Foregoing headgear and opting for heavier gloves, KSI vs Logan Paul 2 marks YouTube’s first-ever pro boxing match, and with other pros taking part in the undercard, this fight promises to be the biggest internet event of the year.

KSI blasts Wakey Wines over £100 Prime cans for “taking advantage” of his fans Prime/TikTok: Wakey WinesYouTube star KSI says he ‘hates’ seeing the Prime Hydration drinks being resold at massive prices amid drama with the owner of Wakey Wines. When KSI and Logan Paul launched their Prime drinks back in January 2022, not even they could have expected the success that the brand has had over the last few months. The drinks have become a viral phenomenon, especially in the UK where stock isn’t as widely available as in the United States. While the company has a deal with Asda, it’s resellers who have been making the biggest moves with Prime. Most recently, the shop Wakey Wines has been under fire for apparently selling the new Prime Energy cans for £100 each. KSI urged fans to “stop buying it at these prices,” and he’s now doubled down on that call. KSI “hates” Prime resellers “taking advantage” of drinks hype The YouTube mogul appeared on Talksport on January 11 to discuss his fight with Faze Temperrr when the topic of Prime and its insane popularity was brought up. He figured that the drink would do “alright” seeing as it had the backing of himself and Logan Paul, but he didn’t expect it to get so crazy. “I didn’t expect it to be this insane to the point that people are paying £100 for a can of Prime or £25 for a bottle of Prime hydration, it’s going crazy,” he said. “I hate it, I hate it,” KSI said when asked about fans paying sky-high prices for the drinks. “There’s a guy called Wakey Wines and I don’t know if it’s a joke or not, but either way, it’s a terrible practice. Yeah, people want to try these drinks and they have not got the chance to try the drinks.” He added that resellers are “taking advantage of the hype” and that he “hates” that as well. It’s not the first time he’s hit out at resellers, as KSI was one of the first people to shine a spotlight on ASDA employees skimming drinks from the stock and reselling them outside.

KSI blocks his brother Deji over pregnancy scandal in a diss track The 2018 diss track season is hotting up on YouTube and it appears to have its first family casualty, with YouTuber KSI blocking his brother Deji on both Twitter and Instagram. It currently remains unclear why the feud between the two brothers has soured to this level, but Deji revealing that KSI had previously got a girl pregnant looks likely to be the catalyst. KSI was put in the middle of Deji and his cameraman and best friend, Randolph, when the latter called out his brother during a quiz on the Sidemen channel. Claiming that Deji’s channel was dead, Randolph was upset at Deji’s response when he mentioned his wife, and as a result. made a diss track to air some dirty laundry. Deji responded with his own track, but it was during his reaction of Randolph’s second diss track that things took a spicy turn. One of Randolph’s lines claimed that his rival had got a girl pregnant, however Deji stopped the tape and said the only person who’d done that was KSI. It’s assumed the girl had an abortion, however Deji doesn’t clarify. “The only person who’s ever got a girl pregnant is my brother, alright? My brother’s got someone pregnant and I imagine it was probably JJ [KSI] who gave you some shit information, cause that’s what JJ’s probably done” (starts at 59 seconds in the video below). The fallout of this line appears to have earned Deji a block from his brother on both Instagram and Twitter, and he titled the Tweet “Family always has your back”. In just under an hour after being posted it garnered over 500 RT’s and 4,000 likes. KSI went on to tweet that he had to “Get rid of negative, troublesome, delusional people – even if they are family.” The YouTube star went on to state that he wouldn’t be opening up about the situation, saying: “None of you understand what is going on with me or my family. I keep things personal for a reason. Never speaking about this again.” Get rid of negative troublesome delusional people. Even if they’re family. None of you understand what is going on with me or my family. I keep things personal for a reason. Never speaking about this again. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 1, 2018 The question is now whether we’ll see KSI or Deji turn on each other, and turn diss track season 2018 into an unforgettable one.

KSI blasts FIFA 19 during heated match with YouTube rival Quadeca Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji couldn’t believe his eyes after playing fellow rapper and YouTube star ‘Quadeca’ on FIFA 19, blasting it as the worst game the franchise has ever released after defeat. The popular YouTuber has uploaded a video to his channel which shows back-to-back matches against the rival rapper, as the pair have previously created diss tracks about one another. In the first game, KSI decided to play with the team he supports, Arsenal, and Quadeca chose the Belgium national side. However, the rather uneventful game ended in a 1-1 stalemate, with both players expecting more from themselves in a rematch. The second leg, though, got very heated indeed. Quadeca stuck with Belgium in game two, but KSI decided to switch it up and started the game strong with Barcelona, dominating possession with some brilliant intricate play in the opening five minutes. “The beautiful game. The beautiful game! Oh bro, I’m coming!” he screamed, before unleashing a primeval roar to the camera. Moments later, Romelu Lukaku gave his opponent the lead after heading it past goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen to make it 1-0. It was all downhill from there. He conceded another two soon after – Kevin De Bruyne and Dries Mertens with the goals – leaving the YouTuber utterly dumbfounded. Having claimed to have had hardly any experience on this year’s FIFA game, KSI pointed out a few key moments where he’d just passed the ball straight to the opposition and it was ultimately his undoing in this hilarious video. “This game is fucking trash. This game is fucking shit. Fuck this game bro, it’s dead” he said after Mertens walked through the Barcelona defence to score the third. “This game is dead. I ain’t playing this again. It’s legit the worst FIFA, the worst FIFA I’ve ever played.” KSI was awarded a penalty with a minute left to play, giving him a chance to salvage something from the game, but missed. Afterwards, Quadeca took the victory and rejected a rematch from his rival.

KSI blasts Jake Paul’s boxing skills as fight rumors continue to swirl YT: KSI / IG: JakePaulRapper and YouTube star KSI has cast major doubts on the boxing ability of American Jake Paul, claiming he’s had an “easier run” in the boxing world despite fighting a number of former cage-fighters. Ever since Joe Weller and KSI took to the boxing ring to settle their differences in February 2018, the world of YouTube/influencer boxing has spiralled into a major industry. We’ve seen fighters like Floyd Mayweather get involved, as well as former NBA stars like Nate Robinson. Two of its most prominent characters, though, have been KSI and Jake Paul. The British rapper beat Joe Weller and then matched up with Logan Paul in two bouts – drawing the first and winning the second. Jake Paul, on the other hand, sits at a record of 5-0 having beaten Tyron Woodley, Nate Robinson and Ben Askren (among others). The two have been regularly touted as future opponents but KSI appears less than enamoured with Paul’s fighting talents. Speaking in a recent episode of the Sidecast, the Olatunji expressed doubts over Paul’s boxing ability despite his unbeaten record. In doing so, he also appeared to pour cold water on fan hopes of a bout between the two. “Bro don’t,” KSI said. “Everybody f*cking rates him, I don’t. I’ve dropped people in sparring and you’ve got to remember I’ve had very hard fights. Minus Joe Weller, I’ve had hard fights. F*cking Logan bro. It is not easy to put him [Logan] away… Jake definitely has had an easier run than I did.” Plenty of people had been hoping to see KSI and Jake Paul settle their differences in the ring, but rumors have also suggested bigger names of the fighting world like Jorge Masvidal. It remains to be seen if a fight between the pair will ever take place but, going off his comments, KSI believes he’d be the clear favorite.

KSI blasts “clown” Dillon Danis after pulling out of Misfits 004 IG: KSIBritish rapper and fighter KSI has blasted Dillon Danis as a “clown” after the American withdrew from their fight at Misfits 004. Doubt was first cast on KSI’s bout with American MMA fighter Dillon Danis at the end of December. Danis claimed the Brit’s camp was trying to introduce a controversial ‘rehydration clause’. While KSI’s camp refuted the suggestions, Danis withdrew from the fight just over a week before it was scheduled to take place. As a result, KSI will now fight FaZe Clan’s Thomas ‘Temperrr’ Oliveira. Now, KSI has slammed the American fighter in a January 6 YouTube video, calling him a “b*tch” and claiming “he didn’t want this smoke”. KSI slams Dillon Danis after Misfits 004 withdrawal The video, entitled ‘Laughing at Dillon Danis’, features the American as a clown on the thumbnail. From its opening, KSI criticizes Danis for withdrawing, saying that if he wanted to fight him, he would have done. “Shock, who saw this coming?” he joked. “My man signed it, signed to fight me two, three months ago and said yes I wanna go let’s go. Then what, a week, two weeks before the fight? Nah I’m scared KSI I’m scared. I don’t want the smoke. I’m out… I want this to be his legacy. Just him being an absolute idiot.” Not holding back, KSI called Danis a “b*tch”, a “stupid pr*ck” and someone with “no legs to stand on” in terms of talking big about his fighting prowess. The video continued in that vein, with KSI relentlessly mocking Danis for talking such a big game and not backing it up by appearing in the ring on January 14. Danis, for his part, has not gone in-depth on his withdrawal. He has tweeted “fake news” and claimed “the truth will shock everyone”. Regardless, there’s plenty of excitement for KSI to take on Temperrr. The FaZe star currently sits at a 2-1 record and will be hoping to chalk up his third win at the Misfits 004 event.

KSI begs Sidemen fans to stop harassing women in IRL Tinder videos YouTube: JJ Olatunji, SidemenYouTube star-turned-boxer KSI is part of a content group known as the Sidemen, who often get together for an ongoing series of “IRL Tinder” videos — but some fans are taking their opinion of these particular uploads too far. The Sidemen are known for their hilarious antics and over-the-top content, but some of their most popular videos take the dating app experience to the “real world” — in a manner of speaking. The Sidemen have uploaded several “IRL Tinder” videos, where the group will attempt to woo a lineup of women with cheesy jokes and one-liners, leaving the girls to choose for themselves which Sidemen member they’re ultimately “interested in.” While the entire premise of the series is for “jokes only,” as explained in the videos’ disclaimers, some fans of the group were not happy with a few of the female contestants who appeared in the Sidemen’s latest upload. In fact, a slew of fans actually went to one woman’s personal social media profiles to harass her, causing her to purportedly turn off her comments and make her accounts private as a way to combat the constant criticism. After learning of this, KSI begged the fans responsible to call off their harassment, as told in a February 26 YouTube video. “Leave her alone, guys,” the YouTuber said. “This is out of order, man. I don’t know if she’ll ever put up comments again, but if she does, I want you to just give her love, man. Come on, man! It’s a video, alright? It’s done! It’s jokes!” “Whoever bullied her, you’re out of line, fam,” he continued. “I’m not okay with that.” (Topic begins at 0:54) KSI isn’t the only Sidemen member to have spoken out about the bullying, either; Joshua ‘Zerkaa’ Bradley also mentioned the issue during a recent video, similarly asking fans to put a stop to the criticism. “If any of you out there take that outside of the video realm — if you go to her profile — and you take any of those lines, and you use it against them, if you send them any abuse or hate… don’t do it! They’re there to help make content better.” (Topic begins at 2:15) Thus far, it seems like much of the Sidemen fanbase is in agreement with this sentiment, and are actively decrying those in the fandom who are harassing the women in question.

KSI Believes He Should Have Been Given the Win in KSI vs Logan Paul Boxing Match Twitter/@bkurbsYouTuber KSI may have tied with his opponent Logan in the ring on Saturday, August 25, but he has joined the many online in saying that he feels he deserved to win the bout. The judges’ decision saw both fighters have their gloves lifted at the end of the fight, but many watching at Manchester Arena and millions watching online, felt KSI was in control for most of the fight. Despite admitting he had a ‘slow start’, KSI says after the opening two rounds it was all him, and if it had gone any longer it would have been an assured victory. In fact, he suggested that if it was a 12 round fight, like a professional match, then Logan would have lost for sure. Logan Paul and KSI Finish in a Majority Draw After Six Rounds of Fighting This is only KSI’s opinion of course, and Logan Paul fans may see it another way. Logan certainly started the stronger of the two, but there is no denying he could not keep it up as the fight went on. KSI was maybe more reserved in the early rounds, which was likely the better tactical move, by storing some of his energy, but with only a six round fight, he really had to make it count. A lot of other high-profile names were in agreement with KSI, that if anyone deserved to win the fight, it was him. We doubt it will be 12 round rematch however, judging from the fighters fitness levels from the first event.

KSI bashes Jake Paul for avoiding him by taking easier fights YouTube: Boxing SocialYouTube star KSI has taken a dig at Jake Paul for taking ‘easy’ fights that he “knows” he’s going to win instead of fighting his longtime rival. The beef between KSI and Jake Paul has been going on for years at this point. What started out as a rivalry over YouTube videos has progressed into constant back-and-forth jabs about their boxing skills. Fans have been eager to see the YouTube stars settle their score once and for all in the ring, but, to this point, they’ve avoided each other despite seemingly being on a collision course at one point. Even though they ‘agreed’ to fight in 2023, both parties have tempered expectations a bit on that front. Jake believes KSI is only using the prospect of a super fight to “hype” his other fights while KSI isn’t sure Jake will make the trip across the Atlantic to take him on. KSI hits out at Jake Paul for taking easy boxing matchups The British YouTube star got to grace the cover of Men’s Health UK for November and, naturally, spoke about his boxing endeavor. And, of course, the topic of a fight with Jake came up. KSI wants the fight to happen – his manager has even guaranteed that everything is fine on their side for a clash in 2023 – but he doesn’t believe Jake wants to actually fight him. “He just wants to fight people that he knows he’s going to beat,” he told the fitness magazine. “He’s not that great. I like the illusion people think he’s way better than me.” Handpicking fights has long been a criticism of modern boxers, not just Jake, as many fans constantly voice their anger at super fights being avoided just so fighters can maintain their record. At this point, everyone is eager to see the pair square off inside the ring, but who knows if it will actually happen. It could just be kicked further down the road and never even happen.

KSI begs Deji to end feud ahead of Deji’s diss track release The feud between brothers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Deji Olatunji looks to have taken a nasty turn, causing KSI to scramble in hopes of resolving their issues before things blow up completely. While KSI and Deji spent most of 2018 feuding with Logan and Jake Paul, the brothers turned on each other recently when KSI blocked Deji on social media following comments Deji made on November 30. KSI looked to have tried to clear the air with a Tweet on December 5 saying that he’d always love Deji, but that wasn’t enough for Deji who is now threating to take things to even greater heights. In response to a scathing video posted by Deji on December 5 in which he calls KSI an “an insecure fucking prick” and says he “no longer want to be [his] brother,” KSI posted a video of his own responding to the many claims laid out by Deji while reaffirming the love for his younger brother. “Deji, I love you, bro. No matter what we say or do, I will always love you,” KSI says at the start of his six-minute apology. “Brothers fight. Brothers say things they don’t mean. At the end of the day, Dej, I will always love you. Simple as that.” Despite the release of this video and his Tweet on December 5, Deji doesn’t seem to be accepting any of the apologies, which has led to KSI pleading further to squash the beef. KSI followed up his video with another Tweet asking Deji to not go on Logan Paul’s podcast and not release a diss track exacerbating the issue, saying: “This is our family, not entertainment. Please, can we just keep this all private.” Hi @Deji I know you’re currently in LA planning on doing a disstrack on me and considering going on Logan Paul’s podcast. Bro, I’m actually trying to sort our situation out. This is our family, not entertainment. Please can we just keep this all private. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 6, 2018 While Deji hasn’t responded directly to KSI, he posted a Tweet less than hour after KSI’s in which he teases the release of his diss track aimed at KSI. KSI might be trying to desperately reign in the feud, but Deji looks to having absolutely none of it.

KSI bashes Alex Wassabi over his new Nickelodeon series While YouTube star KSI may be known for his infamous rivalry with Logan Paul, there’s another YouTuber he’s been beefing with, as well – and they just got a brand new show. YouTuber Alex Wassabi has moved from the online world to television after being cast as a judge for Nickelodeon’s new reality competition show “Top Elf.” The premise of the show pits seven children against each other to compete in various creative tasks, such as constructing a gingerbread house or even “3-D holiday cards” to become Santa’s “Top Elf,” as the show is so named. While it might seem like a huge step in the right direction for Wassabi, KSI isn’t too impressed with the move, as shown in his Instagram comment on the matter. Rather than celebrating Wassabi securing the bag, as it were, KSI replied to celebrity news outlet “The Bread Batch’s” post on the subject with a circus tent emoji – effectively labeling Wassabi as a “clown.” https://www.instagram.com/p/B5X9de7ASnA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link This wouldn’t be the first time KSI and Wassabi have beefed, though: in fact, Wassabi issued a challenge toward KSI in 2018 when the YouTuber was seeking boxing opponents, which KSI promptly denied with several meme videos on the subject. That didn’t stop Wassabi from following his boxing dreams, though, who later sparred with YouTuber Fouseytube in 2019 – which unfortunately resulted in a cold knockout for Wassabi. Despite both KSI and Logan Paul’s subsequent mockery of the situation, Wassabi continues his hustle with his latest show, which is scheduled to premiere on Friday, November 29 at 8 PM EST. Wassabi isn’t the only star cast as a judge on the show, either: in fact, musician Pete Wentz is also part of the cast, as well as actor Tommy Snider actress Samantha Turret. It seems that Nickelodeon is bent on tapping into the YouTube market for its reality shows, having also casted vlogger David Dobrik in its “America’s Most Musical Family” competition show in July. This wouldn’t be Wassabi’s first time starring on a Nickelodeon show, either, having already made an appearance on “Double Dare” in 2018. With more and more YouTubers making their way to the mainstream media, Wassabi marks the latest internet celeb to take such a major leap – although KSI remains unimpressed by his money moves.

KSI bashes Jake Paul as weight dispute threatens potential boxing match YouTube: FLAGRANTYouTuber, boxer, and music star KSI has once more hit out at Jake Paul as weight disputes threaten their potential boxing match later this year. It’s been five years since KSI’s and Jake Paul’s feud first began after the Brit called out the Paul brothers in front of millions worldwide. Now, KSI vs Jake Paul is arguably one of the most anticipated fights of 2023 — as the two YouTube stars promised fans they’d finally come to blows later this year. However, it’s becoming more and more unlikely that we’ll see the pair touch gloves, as weight disputes threaten their bout. In a February 4 tweet, KSI’s manager MamsTaylor noted a key difference between the two YouTuber’s weights and explained how it wouldn’t be fair for either of them to go up or down significantly. “Ideal fight weight for Jake is 185. For JJ it’s 170. It wouldn’t be fair for either fighter to go up or down that much,” his manager wrote. “They naturally have a big weight difference between them. “Meet in the middle. Make it fair. Make it work.” KSI then hit out at Jake, noting that he once claimed he’d fight the Brit at any weight. “Remember when Jake said he would fight me at any weight? Or do all Jake Paul fans have memory loss?” Mams isn’t the only one to point out the differences. Recently, KSI’s former coach Viddal and his current fitness trainer Leon laid out why they think weight disputes will make the fight hard to negotiate. It’s clear that both sides are eager to step into the ring, but we’ll just have to wait and see how things unfold.

KSI explains why Austin McBroom fight isn’t happening yet YouTube: The ACE Family / JJ OlatunjiYouTuber KSI has explained why he isn’t able to fight the ACE Family’s Austin McBroom yet, despite naming him as the person he wants to step into the ring with next. Influencer boxing has become a huge phenomenon over the past few years, with creators like Jake and Logan Paul beginning to make names for themselves in the sport. Though, the concept arguably became popular thanks to KSI’s fight with Joe Weller in 2018, and his subsequent bouts with Logan Paul in 2018 and 2019. As a result of the immense popularity of those events, many other influencers decided to give boxing a try, one of which being the ACE Family’s Austin McBroom in his ‘Battle of the Platforms’ event which he was later sued over after fighters weren’t paid. There has been talk about KSI and McBroom stepping into the ring together for several months now following back and forth trash talk. Those rumors were reignited in October when Austin implied he wanted to fight KSI in January. Though, it doesn’t look like it’ll happen. On November 25 in a ‘Sidemen Google Ourselves’ video, KSI gave his thoughts on the situation as it stands. In response to the question “will KSI fight again,” he said: “I want to fight again,” and went on to name Austin someone he’d like to go up against. But when asked whether the vlogger is “ducking” him, he explained that he “just [doesn’t] have time to fight.” Topic starts at 18:28 It looks as though KSI has a busy few months ahead with his tour, and it’s not clear when his schedule will be clear enough to train for a fight, but it certainly looks like there’s interest from both sides. But those looking for more influencer boxing entertainment won’t have to wait too long, as YouTuber Jake Paul is set to fight Tommy Fury on December 18 in a highly anticipated bout.
