With his bouts against Logan Paul came huge mainstream appeal. Since then, Logan has gone on to fight Floyd Mayweather, while his brother Jake knocked out former UFC star Ben Askren and is due to take on current UFC legend Tyron Woodley. As the brains behind much of the operations, KSI clearly fell in love with the sport of boxing and, as rumors circulate over him fighting any number of online personalities, he\u2019s decided to go one step further to launch his own promotional company. \ud83e\udd4a ANNOUNCED: KSI has partnered with Wasserman Boxing and will be working with Kalle and Nisse Sauerland (plus his management Proper Loud) to launch his own boxing promotional company. Aim is “”to stage the world’s biggest and best celebrity\/crossover boxing events.”” \u2014 Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) June 21, 2021 The name of the promotion has not yet been announced, but he is working alongside his record label Proper Loud, Wasserman Boxing, and the Sauerland brothers to make it all come to fruition. \u201cA lot of people ask me what my next move in boxing is,\u201d said KSI in the reveal video. \u201cAnd whenever I make a move, ladies and gentlemen, it\u2019s always big. \u201cI have partnered with the Sauerland brothers, Wasserman Boxing and Proper Loud to create my own boxing promotion.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/KSI\/status\/1406935166770106373 Nisse Sauerland, Director of Boxing at Wasserman, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to partner with KSI and Proper Loud on this exciting new venture. We will bring decades of experience and expertise to deliver a new generation of fight fans with the highest production values and greatest match-ups in the world of celebrity and crossover boxing.\u201d The appeal of celebrity crossover boxing events is evident, as we\u2019ve seen with the Paul brothers taking on and beefing with some huge names in combat sports. It\u2019s been heavily rumored that KSI could take on any of Jake Paul, Austin McBroom or Bryce Hall in his next bout, though this will surely be much bigger for the space than another fight. While we await more details on the new promotion, including its name, the biggest question is who will be headlining the promotion\u2019s first card?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
