KSI officially debunks Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao tag team rumors Twitter: HappyPunchPromo \/ YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube boxer KSI has officially debunked rumors that claimed he\u2019d be teaming up with Floyd Mayweather in a tag-team match against Manny Pacquiao and Salt Papi. KSI is one of the most prolific names in the influencer-boxing game, having kicked off the trend with his matches against Joe Weller and Logan Paul back in 2018. After a nearly two-year hiatus, he\u2019s back in the ring \u2014 but his grand return has sparked a few big rumors pertaining to his potential future opponents. Earlier this month, Happy Punch boxing promotions leaked a fight poster on Twitter that announced a tag team match between KSI and Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao and Salt Papi. At the time, this fight had not been officially revealed, leaving fans quite excited and curious to see if the matchup was real or not. KSI\u2019s manager, Mams Taylor, claimed he\u2019d been working on the event \u2014 but a subsequent post from KSI threw the entire ordeal into question. \u201cAll you need to know is that I\u2019m fighting one opponent on May 13th,\u201d he wrote on Twitter. \u201cThis is the only certain thing.\u201d This seemed to debunk the viral fight poster, which, when paired with Mayweather\u2019s 2023 boxing schedule, looked more and more unlikely\u2026 but now, the possibility has been officially quashed. KSI says Floyd Mayweather tag team match is \u201cnot happening\u201d KSI officially addressed the tag team fight rumors in a YouTube video on March 21, where he was quite clear that the viral bout will not be taking place. \u201cIt\u2019s not happening,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m gonna dead it now. It\u2019s not happening, and we\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d (Topic begins at 19:26) That doesn\u2019t mean that such a match wasn\u2019t ever in the works, though, especially considering Mams Taylor\u2019s post claiming he was working to make it a reality. For now, it\u2019s clear that this tag team bout simply won\u2019t come to pass in spite of fans\u2019 wishes. This latest news follows KSI\u2019s recent apology to former Misfits Boxing host Wade Plem, who caught flack from the British boxer for his comments on Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
