KSI receives surprise help from four-weight world champion boxer KSI\/YouTubeIn the run-up to his rematch in the ring against fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji has revealed that he\u2019s received help from a four-weight boxing world champion to avoid a similar result to their first match. KSI and Logan Paul\u2019s first bout, which took place in Manchester, England on August 25, 2018, was an amateur match, complete with headguards, that went the distance, culminating in a six-round majority draw. The tie was immediately disputed by fans of each boxer worldwide, with many believing that the fight should have gone either way. But it was only moments after the match that both fighters appealed for a rematch to prove who the rightful winner is, with KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 being fought as a professional match at LA\u2019s Staples Center. Just three weeks before the rematch is due to take place, boxing YouTube channel The Mayweather Channel spoke with KSI about his upcoming fight and the training he\u2019s receiving, before the camera panned and the Brit revealed legendary Filipino boxer Nonito Donaire had shown up to give him some tips. \u201cHe just came through and told me some gems,\u201d KSI said. \u201cThis is why I love coming to places like this, because there\u2019s nothing like it. You just have world champions come through and say \u2018why don\u2019t you try this, why don\u2019t you do that?\u2019 One small thing has improved my boxing IQ tremendously.\u201d When asked what it means to have people like Eddie Hearn, Jeff Mayweather and Donaire behind him, KSI said that it \u201cmeans the world to him,\u201d but all that matters is performing in the ring. Though KSI didn\u2019t reveal the gems that Donaire had given him, having the help of a four-time World Champion isn\u2019t something to scoff at; it could be the difference between a win and a loss on the night. KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 is set to take place on November 9, 2019, in Los Angeles, with a number of as-yet-unannounced fights on the undercard to prelude the main event. It\u2019s been heavily rumored that another YouTube match between AnEsonGib and Jake Paul will take place, while boxers such as Billy Joe Saunders and Devin Haney are confirmed to be fighting on the night. Opponent Logan Paul faced some trouble at the London Press Conference, being threatened with \u201cacid and knives\u201d as well as coming under fire due to his comments about abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
