Swarmz recently fought YouTube star KSI as part of his \u2018two fights, one night\u2019 event on August 27. Although he was soundly defeated by his opponent, he\u2019s looking to get back into the ring early next year on KSI\u2019s undercard for an event that fans are calling the \u2018Prime card,\u2019 referencing KSI and Logan Paul\u2019s PRIME Hydration beverage line. For now, nothing has been confirmed regarding this mystery card \u2014 but Swarmz is seemingly interested in snagging a piece of the pie. On September 29, the rapper posted a statement that many fans took to be a challenge toward fellow YouTuber JiDion: \u201cSwarmz vs Jidion \u2013 January!!!!\u201d He made a few other tweets alluding to a possible fight between them, leading viewers to ask JiDion if he was really down to take on Swarmz in the ring\u2026 but it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s too interested in taking on the rapper for his first bout. JiDion explains why he doesn\u2019t want to box Swarmz JiDion reacted to Swarmz\u2019s callout during a YouTube video shortly thereafter, admitting that he would rather take on a more prolific opponent for his boxing debut. \u201cI\u2019m gonna be completely honest \u2014 I don\u2019t wanna fight Swarmz,\u201d he admitted. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not because I\u2019m scared of him. It\u2019s not because of anything.\u201d \u201cI see Swarmz, and it doesn\u2019t motivate me,\u201d he continued. \u201cI want an opponent to where I wake up in the f**kin\u2019 middle of the night having dreams of them knocking me out, and I get scared. \u2026and I wake up in the middle of the night and I start training. Is that fair?\u201d \u201cI feel like Swarmz isn\u2019t gonna be what gets me up to go train and f**kin\u2019 get right. But also, I gotta realize, this is my first fight. I\u2019m not fighting f**kin\u2019 Anthony Joshua or Canelo or somebody, but like, I want that fear, you know?\u201d The YouTuber did not give a definite yes or no answer during his broadcast and has not released any official statement on the possible fight at the time of writing, leaving fans curious to see who, if anyone, he\u2019ll choose for his debut bout. Initially, JiDion called out Joe Weller, but now says that his British rival likely won\u2019t step into the ring anytime soon due to purported issues stemming from his bout against KSI back in 2018. For now, mixed martial artist Dillon Danis is eyeing KSI as his next opponent as this mysterious January fight card continues to pick up steam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JiDion responds to boxing callout from Swarmz amid January fight rumors YouTube: JiDionPremium \/ Twitter: Swarmz_JiDion has reacted to a callout from British rapper Swarmz, who challenged him for a boxing match in January as rumors continue to swirl of a possible \u201cPrime card\u201d event.
