In a video posted to social media with the caption “I’m back,” he announced his return on August 27 against an unnamed opponent.
Most fans presumed that his opponent would be Jake Paul, given their history of slandering one another. During KSI’s recent tour, the starfighter affirmed his intentions to defeat the unbeaten Paul, according to The Sun.
“It’s really strange because so many people say, ‘He won’t box again; he’ll stick to music,’ and to be completely honest, I probably could have.” But I replied, “No, brother, I must [expletive] up Jake Paul.” Therefore, it’s inevitable,” KSI stated.
According to the website, the YouTuber performed shirtless and flaunted his musculature on stage. After gaining weight since his previous fight, he had become fitter and appeared ready to return to the ring.
Previous Boxing Victories of KSI
KSI made his ring début in white-collar combat against internet competitor Joe Weller in February 2018, winning by third-round TKO. Later that year, he engaged in a six-round white-collar draw with Logan Paul.
One judge scored the bout 58-57 for KSI, while the other two judges scored it 57-57, resulting in a majority draw. A rematch between the two was scheduled for November 9, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles due to their continued animosity.
The couple decided to join the professional ranks following their rematch. Again, it went the complete six rounds. Nonetheless, KSI was pronounced the victor after Logan was penalized two points for striking KSI in the back of the head during the fourth round.
Three assessors awarded KSI the victory with scores of 56-55, 57-54, and 55-56 respectively. Since his victory, he has not boxed, but he was scheduled to fight his sibling Jake.
Jake Paul Recommendations Alex Wassabi and KSI
Although KSI did not identify his opponent, Jake told The Mirror that it could be Alex Wassabi, despite the fact that many believe it to be him. It is believed that Jake will assist with event speeches.
Wassabi and the British YouTuber have long been rivals, but their rivalry intensified in March 2022 when Wassabi defeated his younger sibling Deji Olatunji in his boxing debut.
We are aiming for the KSI battle in August. I believe that to be highly probable. Only from the perspective of KSI does he enter the boxing ring.
“He’s been talking about it for what feels like years,” Jake told The Mirror.
Jake observed that KSI’s ego would likely disintegrate if he hung up the microphone and donned boxing gloves.
Moreover, the unbeaten YouTuber-turned-boxer believes that KSI hopes to earn money from boxing because his rap career is declining.
He continued by saying that KSI had paid every rapper in the game to perform a feature for him, but that now that he was out of features, the numbers were falling.
Jake stated that his monthly Spotify listeners were dwindling and no one was discussing his music.
