YouTube star Alex Wassabi didn't want to subject himself to an onslaught of abuse from rival KSI, and turned down the chance for a meeting in LA weeks out from their boxing fight.
The social media duo are set to put their years-long rivalry to bed at The O2 arena in London on August 27 in the main event of Misfits Boxing's debut card. They have been going back-and-forth since KSI's original fight with Joe Weller in 2018, and there is legitimate bad blood between the pair.
Wassabi is a quieter and less aggressive character than KSI, who has been goading him ever since the fight was agreed, declaring he will stop the American. And when the Brit came to LA, where Wassabi lives, he offered to go and meet up with his rival for a check-in ahead of their fight.
