KSI slams \u201cfraud\u201d Adam Saleh for allegedly rigging boxing match against MMA fighter YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Adam Saleh VlogsYouTube star KSI has officially hopped on the bandwagon of ranking influencer boxers \u2014 and when it came to Adam Saleh, the British content creator had a decidedly negative opinion. KSI is one of the key YouTubers who helped pioneer the current hot trend of influencer boxing. After facing off with Joe Weller in 2018 \u2014 a match he won \u2014 KSI went on to box Logan Paul, sparking a craze that resulted in the Battle of the Platforms last month. As such, it stands to reason that KSI is an authority on the subject. Thus, he took it upon himself to rank the now-bursting category of social media stars-turned-boxers after FaZe Jarvis uploaded his own tier list a few days prior. KSI\u2019s video was fairly even-handed, if a bit humorous, with the YouTuber even going so far as to place rival Jake Paul in \u2018God-Tier\u2019 \u2014 but when Adam Saleh\u2019s turn came around, KSI learned some surprising information. In March 2021, Saleh\u2019s ex-manager, Naz, alleged in a live broadcast that Saleh had purportedly fixed his boxing match against MMA fighter Marcus Stephenson in 2019. \u201cThe truth of the matter is, bro, you lied to everybody,\u201d Naz said. \u201cYou paid Marcus off. You didn\u2019t even fight. What a sick b****d, bruv. What a sick f**k. And then you take a picture with your dad with the belt? And you say, \u2018I\u2019ve bought my dad everything.’\u201d After bringing up the video, KSI appeared genuinely shocked, and immediately moved Saleh from \u2018Decent\u2019 tier to \u2018Should Retire\u2019 tier. \u201cI thought it looked weird!\u201d KSI said after reviewing the match footage. \u201cThis whole fight looked so weird. He\u2019s not even trying to knock him out!\u201d \u201cAw, nah, mate, Adam Saleh, you\u2019re a f**king fraud,\u201d he continued. \u201cGet out. Right back down to \u2018Should Retire and Never Enter a Ring Ever Again.\u2019 You f**king fraud! Oh my god, Jesus Christ! I heard about it, but I didn\u2019t think it was f**king true!\u201d (Topic begins at 5:41) It\u2019s safe to say that KSI is not impressed with Saleh\u2019s purported match-fixing, and many commenters are now itching for his response after KSI brought up the allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
