IShowSpeed says KSI is making \u201cexcuses\u201d not to box him YouTube: IShowSpeed, JJ OlatunjiYouTube star IShowSpeed has revealed that he begged KSI to fight him in a boxing match\u2026 but his British counterpart wasn\u2019t too enthusiastic about the idea. KSI is one of the leading names in the influencer-boxing game. First kicking off the trend with his fight against Logan Paul in 2018, KSI has officially stepped back into the ring after taking a lengthy break to focus on his music career. However, the YouTuber has publicly stated that he plans on officially retiring from boxing after taking on three more fighters this year. With this in mind, it seems like he\u2019s had no shortage of challengers hoping to take him for a turn\u2026 including IShowSpeed. IShowSpeed is one of YouTube\u2019s top streamers, and one of KSI\u2019s buddies. The two notably interacted during the Sidemen charity football match back in 2022, and have since fostered a friendly rivalry with each other. IShowSpeed says KSI is ducking a boxing match with him It looks like Speed is hoping to take on KSI in the boxing ring instead of the football pitch, though. The YouTuber spoke out about his friend during a recent broadcast, where he revealed that he\u2019d practically begged KSI for a boxing match. \u201cIt was a couple months back,\u201d he explained. \u201cI was like, \u2018Bro,\u2019 \u2014 [it was a] private conversation. I was like, \u2018Bro, like seriously, box me. Like, come on, bro. Let\u2019s get it right.’\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Nah bruv,’\u201d he continued, imitating KSI\u2019s British accent. \u201c\u2018Nah, bruv, I can\u2019t do that. \u2026we\u2019re different weights.\u2019 Like, he made up every excuse, every excuse in the book, I swear on my life.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time these two have bandied about the idea of a possible boxing match. Last year, fans paired up the YouTubers for a bout, but KSI was adamant that he\u2019d \u201cdecimate\u201d his younger opponent before brushing him off due to their different weight classes and ages. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t look like IShowSpeed vs KSI will happen anytime soon, if ever, as the Brit prepares for his upcoming bout against pro boxer Joe Fournier in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
