KSI apologises to Anderson Silva after being criticised for spreading rumours

KSI has issued an apology to Anderson Silva after being accused by the Brazilian of "spreading rumours" ahead of his fight with Jake Paul.

The UFC legend will take to the ring on Saturday night when he takes on YouTube star Paul in Phoenix. YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - will be watching closely given his long-term rivalry with Paul with whom he plans to touch gloves with himself next year.

KSI and Paul have frequently gone back-and-forth in a war of verbal barbs on social media since their rivalry began, and he once again reignited their feud, writing on Twitter : "Anderson Silva has said that he’s been knocked out twice before his fight against Jake Paul. Think we know how this is going to go."
