Austin McBroom set for potential KSI fight after sending challenge on Instagram YouTube: JJ Olatunji \/ The ACE FamilyRumors that Austin McBroom will be fighting fellow YouTuber KSI in early 2022 are swirling after McBroom uploaded a cryptic Instagram story, but not everyone is convinced they\u2019ll actually step into the ring together so soon. Influencer boxing has become a huge trend in recent years, with creators like Logan and Jake Paul stepping up against pro fighters from across the world in an attempt to prove their abilities. The trend was inspired partly by YouTuber KSI\u2019s fight with Joe Weller and his later fights with Logan. Austin McBroom, who won the headline fight against Bryce Hall in June\u2019s Battle of the Platforms event, has had his sights set on fighting KSI for a while now. KSI described a potential fight with McBroom as a \u201cstepping stone\u201d and a \u201cwarmup\u201d before he gets to Jake Paul, and didn\u2019t seem too convinced by his idea of a 2 v 2 with Logan Paul and Bryce Hall. Austin McBroom calls out KSI on Instagram While news on a potential bout between the two has been relatively quiet of late, rumors were fired back up again on October 20 when McBroom uploaded an Instagram story that implied he would be stepping into the ring with the fellow YouTuber. \u201cI\u2019m retiring from social media and I\u2019m trying out for the NBA!\u201d he wrote, going on to add in another slide, \u201cI\u2019m playin, KSI I\u2019ll see you in January.\u201d The mention of a specific month had some fans wondering whether there could be planning for a future event going on behind the scenes. However, others were quick to point out that KSI is going to be on tour for at least part of January 2022, making it much less likely that he would schedule such a big boxing event for the same month. Regardless, it looks like Austin\u2019s sending the message that he\u2019s still interested in a fight between them, some fans are curious to see who would come out on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
