KSI slams \u201cannoying\u201d DAZN for picking up Kingpyn boxing tournament Twitter: DAZN \/ YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI shaded DAZN for their acquisition of Kingpyn after the promotion\u2019s \u201chigh-stakes\u201d tournament got canceled due to purported bankruptcy, calling the situation \u201cannoying.\u201d The influencer-boxing scene is more robust than ever, with oodles of high-profile content creators hoping to test their mettle in the boxing ring. However, some of these influencer-boxing events can run into trouble from time to time, with the most recent instance of this happening to Kingpyn. The promotion promised a \u201chigh stakes\u201d tournament with influencer-boxers starting in April. The tournament would then have a semi-final taking place in early July \u2014 but this card was ultimately scrapped when sources close to the company revealed it had filed for bankruptcy, as per Happy Punch Boxing. This fact was not lost on KSI, who\u2019d previously speculated that Kingpyn was going under weeks before their purported bankruptcy was made known. He openly laughed at the ordeal\u2026 but he wouldn\u2019t be chuckling for long. KSI reacts to DAZN acquiring Kingpyn after reported bankruptcy: \u201cAnnoying\u201d On July 7, it was revealed that Kingpyn\u2019s boxing tournament had been acquired by DAZN, which will be streaming the semi-final on July 15. According to KSI, he had no idea about this acquisition \u2014 something that comes as a bit of a surprise to fans, as his own Misfits Boxing signed a five-year deal with the combat sports streaming platform earlier in 2023. KSI spoke out about the situation in a July 10 YouTube video, where he called the ordeal \u201cannoying\u201d and said he\u2019d only found out about DAZN\u2019s move via Twitter. \u201cPretty sh*tty way to find out, on Twitter,\u201d KSI admitted. \u201cBut, it is what it is. Fair play, Kingpyn. You live another day. Misfits is still number one, but yeah, it\u2019s a bit annoying.\u201d (Topic begins at 12:25) It\u2019s clear that there\u2019s still some bad blood brewing between KSI and Kingpyn\u2026 but for now, they\u2019re streaming under the same banner. As for KSI, his highly-anticipated bout with Tommy Fury looks more likely than ever after the YouTuber agreed to his rival\u2019s preferred weight \u2014 on one condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
