KSI drops professional boxer SEVEN times to win second fight of the night

KSI won two fights on one night as he dropped Luis Pineta SEVEN times en-route to a third-round stoppage.

KSI had already knocked out rapper Swarmz in the second round of the opening fight of the night and returned three hours later to finish the job against Pineda. The Mexican brought a record of two victories from his seven paid fights but was in trouble from the first bell.

He was dropped in the opening 30 seconds but complained to the referee that he had been hit behind the back of the head. The official dismissed his claims, however, but the Mexican was soon back on the canvas from another right hand. Pineda was struggling with KSI's body shots and continued to complain to the referee while almost turning his back on his opponent. And with less than 30 seconds of the round remaining, the visitor took a knee having barely been touched.

Pineda continued to hear the bell for the end of the opening session but looked to be on his last legs as he rose from his stool. KSI landed another body shot in the first few seconds as Pineda continued to shuffle away from his social media star opponent. He did manage to land a jab on KSI was soon back on the ground for a fourth knockdown.

Again he did at least continue as he continued to backpedal around the ring. A left hook from KSI staggered Pineda again and he fell to the ground as KSI did push-ups while his opponent was being counted. Again he continued, however, and made it to the third round.

But he was dropped for a sixth time in the opening seconds of the final stanza, but again the referee was happy to let him continue. But after Pineda hit the canvas yet again, the referee finally put him out of his misery. KSI, who was returning to the ring for the first time since he beat Logan Paul over 1,000 days ago, called out a number of potential opponents for his next fight.

The Londoner will fight again in January and named Tommy Fury, Andrew Tate, Slim Albaher and the winner of Austin McBroom's forthcoming clash with AnEsonGib as potential opponents. Fury responded by telling KSI he was open to the fight while Tate had already said he would be willing to accept the offer.
