KSI brutally knocks out sparring partner ahead of Logan Paul fight Those doubting YouTuber Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 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\u2019t 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 \u2013 where they won\u2019t be wearing protective headwear \u2013 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\u2019s favorite to come out victorious. However, KSI has certainly been showing what he\u2019s 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 \u2013 even while they\u2019re 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\u2019s 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 \u2018Stitch\u2019 Duran had his say on just how impressed he has been with KSI\u2019s performances in the training camp. \u201cWhat a way to finish up a training camp. I guess there\u2019s only one word\u2026 Devastating. You know, to see the progression that JJ has done since I\u2019ve seen him here in Las Vegas has been night and day,\u201d he said, but what came after that was even more interesting. Duran also stated that the YouTuber is now \u201cknighted as a fighter\u201d 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 \u201cexclamation point\u201d as he beat down a much more experienced boxer in the ring to bring his camp to a close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
