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 \u2013 but some of their trash-talk hit a sore spot for boxing fans. In the thick of the fray \u2013 during which Logan Paul mocked his opponent\u2019s intelligence with a surprise math quiz \u2013 KSI made a comment that rubbed promoter Eddie Hearn the wrong way. Specifically, KSI claimed that he would \u201cend\u201d Logan Paul\u2019s life, going on to claim that Paul was \u201cgoing to fucking die. You best believe.\u201d (Timestamp: 46:03 for mobile viewers) Hearn spoke out on KSI\u2019s comments in an interview following the conference, where he admitted to being annoyed by his apparent threat. \u201cThey don\u2019t know enough about boxing,\u201d Hearn admitted. \u201cThey don\u2019t really respect the game enough to think about what they\u2019re saying. I mean, fighters say that kind of stuff all the time. No one ever means it, but I didn\u2019t like that when it was said multiple times.\u201d (Timestamp: 0:55 for mobile viewers) KSI has since taken to Twitter to clarify his statements, explaining that he merely meant that he would \u201cend\u201d his enemy\u2019s career \u2013 not his life. \u201c\u2026 I don\u2019t intend to kill Logan physically tomorrow,\u201d KSI wrote in a Tweet on the morning of November 8. \u201cI only intend to kill his YouTube career and spirit. After this fight, I still want Logan to be alive and well.\u201d Just want to clarify a statement I made yesterday at the press conference. I don\u2019t 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. \u2014 KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) November 8, 2019 KSI\u2019s 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\u2019s insult toward Logan Paul would come across as especially blasphemous in the eyes of the boxing community \u2013 although it doesn\u2019t 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, \u201cI might actually kill you, man,\u201d in response to KSI\u2019s 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\u2019s greatest rivalries to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
