KSI explains why he won\u2019t fight Austin McBroom or Bryce Hall amid canceled Alex Wassabi fight YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Bryce Hall, The ACE FamilyKSI\u2019s highly-anticipated bout with Alex Wassabi was canceled, leaving him to find another opponent in Swarmz\u2026but he didn\u2019t pick several other popular replacements for very specific reasons. 2022 was slated to be the summer of influencer boxing, but it seems that the season of flying fists has all but been put on hold. First, health complications for AnEsonGib delayed his match against Austin McBroom, prompting the two YouTubers to reschedule their bout for a later date. Then, Jake Paul\u2019s fight against Hasim Rahman Jr. got axed due to weight issues on Rahman\u2019s part \u2014 causing Jake to lose millions of dollars. Now, KSI\u2019s own match, scheduled for August 27, has experienced complications, with American YouTuber Alex Wassabi pulling out of the bout due to as-yet unexplained reasons. KSI announced that he would, instead, be boxing against Swarmz, a British rapper and semi-pro footballer. However, his fanbase isn\u2019t happy about this pick. Amid the ongoing chaos following the announcement, KSI turned to his subreddit, where he went through a list of fans\u2019 choices of replacement fighters for Swarmz. KSI claimed that there\u2019s no way he\u2019s fighting any of them \u2014 chiefly Austin McBroom, who challenged the British YouTuber to a bout at the end of 2022. \u201cMy man thinks he\u2019s f**kin\u2019 Floyd Mayweather,\u201d he explained. \u201cHe\u2019s gonna ask for millions. He thinks he\u2019s worth millions. He\u2019s not worth anything!\u201d \u201cPlus, he\u2019s waiting on Gib to sort out his medical [issues], so I\u2019m not gonna wait on Austin to wait for Gib for his medical, because then we wouldn\u2019t even have an opponent.\u201d KSI also turned down a possible opponent in TikTok star Bryce Hall, simply saying that the Sway House star \u201cdoesn\u2019t want it.\u201d (Topic begins at 5:00) KSI also noted that his fight with Swarmz was written into his contract as a backup option should Wassabi back out, so there\u2019s not much that can be done at this point in terms of replacing his replacement. Ultimately, KSI called the fight with Swarmz \u201cawful\u201d and a \u201csituation I don\u2019t wanna be in\u201d \u2014 but he\u2019ll still be in the boxing ring come August 27, whether fans want to see this particular bout or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
