Alex Wassabi explains theory behind KSI demanding boxing fight with YouTube rival

Alex Wassabi believes his YouTube rival KSI has only pushed to face him because he views it as an "easy fight".

The pair will meet on August 27 at The O2 arena in London, with Wassabi a huge underdog for their meeting despite beating his younger brother Deji in his last outing. KSI and Wassabi have had a long-standing rivalry dating back to when the Brit make his boxing debut back in 2018, and will finally settle it next month.

And the American has been training intensively at the Brickhouse Boxing Club in California, setting up for his second career fight, and KSI's fourth. He will come up in weight to around 180lb, which is 9lb more than his last fight, where he claimed to be pushing his limits in terms of comfort.
