KSI tells Andrew Schulz the rumored reason Alex Wassabi pulled out of boxing match YouTube: FLAGRANTYouTube star KSI has revealed the rumored reason why his former opponent, Alex Wassabi, suddenly pulled out of their boxing match weeks ahead of fight night. British YouTuber, rapper, and budding boxer KSI was slated to return to the ring after a two-year hiatus this August. For his self-described \u201cwarm-up match,\u201d he\u2019d chosen Alex Wassabi as his opponent \u2014 an American YouTuber who defeated KSI\u2019s little brother, Deji, in a bout earlier this year. However, Wassabi pulled out just weeks before fight night, forcing KSI to replace him with British rapper and semi-pro footballer \u2018Swarmz.\u2019 This marks the third influencer boxing match to experience difficulties this summer, with Jake Paul and Austin McBroom both having to outright cancel or postpone their matches due to health and weight issues with their opponents. KSI opened up about the Wassabi fight in an August 9 episode of the Flagrant podcast with comedian Andrew Schulz, revealing that Alex had allegedly secured a doctor\u2019s note for some purported injuries prior to their August 27 bout. That\u2019s not all; KSI also claimed that Wassabi had threatened to sue him if he explained the situation in the wrong way. \u201cSo, there\u2019s rumors \u2014 I think he said he was gonna try to sue me if I said this incorrectly \u2014 so I legally have to say he\u2019s got a doctor\u2019s note that says he has either a concussion or a broken hand, I\u2019m not sure which one of the two, but he\u2019s unable to fight,\u201d the YouTuber explained. \u201cBro, legit, he did not want any smoke,\u201d he continued. (Topic begins at 9:55) Although KSI\u2019s August 27 bout against Swarmz is still set to take place, he\u2019s been seriously eyeing a fight with Jake Paul for 2023 at the Wembley Stadium in a \u201cwinner takes all\u201d extravaganza. While details have yet to be ironed out, KSI\u2019s fight against Swarmz is looking more like an appetizer for one of the most highly-anticipated influencer boxing matches of all time\u2026 if it ever comes to pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
