KSI confirms boxing return amid Alex Wassabi fight rumors YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has officially confirmed he\u2019s coming back to boxing as rumors swirl of a potential bout against influencer Alex Wassabi later this year. KSI is one of the few YouTubers responsible for sparking the current \u2018influencer boxing\u2019 trend. His matches against Joe Weller and Logan Paul kickstarted a movement that has most content creators at least considering a turn in the ring \u2013 either for clout, money, fun, or all three. That being said, it\u2019s been a while since KSI\u2019s last boxing bout. He emerged victorious over Logan Paul in their November 2019 rematch, but since then, he\u2019s been fully focused on his music career. However, little bro Deji\u2019s recent fight against opponent Alex Wassabi stirred up some beef between KSI and his American counterpart\u2026 so much so, that fans are convinced these two are set to face off sometime soon. Comments from KSI\u2019s trainer hinted that he was eyeing a bout in late 2022, while angry Instagram comments from Austin McBroom claimed that KSI had turned down an offer to fight him in favor of a turn with Wassabi. KSI hits back at Austin McBroom boxing claims According to KSI, McBroom\u2019s claims simply aren\u2019t true. The YouTuber-turned-rapper said he had no idea when his next fight would be and that no plans were in place to take on Wassabi \u2014 but he did say that McBroom had asked for \u201ctoo much\u201d in a proposed fight deal. \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure we did try to set something up,\u201d KSI explained. \u201cHe just asked for too much. He f**king thinks he\u2019s Mayweather! If you\u2019re just gonna be unreasonable, then piss off!\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t know about any deal with Alex or anything,\u201d he continued. \u201cI didn\u2019t know anything about August. I know I\u2019m fighting, I just don\u2019t know when I\u2019m fighting.\u201d (Topic begins at 12:43) For now, it\u2019s unclear when KSI will enter the ring next and who his opponent will be, but fans can rest assured that he is making his return to the sport of boxing in the near future\u2026 it just doesn\u2019t look like Wassabi is in the cards (at least not while Bryce Hall wants a turn with him, first).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
