Harry Kettle - August 12, 2022

KSI has said that he’s only returning to boxing with the intention of knocking out and ‘exposing’ YouTube rival Jake Paul. While many boxing purists can’t stand the rise of YouTube boxing, there’s no way of denying that it’s been an incredibly successful venture for many stars to come out of that market. In addition, it’s also helped bring some new eyes to the sport, even though that’s a topic that will continue to be fiercely debated for as long as this era goes on.

KSI reacts to Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather: “So…You’re saying I’m now the best boxer in the world?”

Adam D Martin - June 7, 2021

YouTuber KSI reacted to the Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing match, suggesting that boxing math means he’s the best boxer in the world. KSI and Paul previously fought twice in boxing. The first time they met was in a white-collar boxing match in August 2018, with the fight being scored a majority draw after two of the ringside judges scored it a tie and one had it for KSI. The two then rematched in a professional boxing match in November 2019, with this time KSI taking home the win by split decision. Although Paul is still adamant to this day that he did enough to defeat KSI in their rematch, the judges scored it for KSI, and his pro boxing record still stands at 1-0.
