KSI admits to being a "d***head" for doing push-ups during boxing fight

KSI has admitted he was a "d***head" after doing push-ups during the referees count in his second victory of the night over Luis Alcaraz Pineda.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - made his ring return for the first time in over 1000 days when he defeated novice rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda at the London's O2 arena in the same night. Olatunji made light work of the pair stopping them both on the night, and was criticised for the level of his opponents after the event including by rival Jake Paul.

During the fight Olatunji showed signs of supreme confidence particularly during the second fight against Pineda, who came into the fight with two wins and five defeats as a fighter. Olatunji did press-ups during the referee's standing nine count, which was one of his seven knockdowns in his second outing of the night.
