YouTube star KSI has had a personal grudge against his new opponent Swarmz dating back to a song the pair did together.
The British duo will fight on August 27 after Alex Wassabi pulled out of his scheduled bout with his YouTube rival, much to the dismay of KSI's fans. Jake Paul had publicly offered to make a gruelling cut to 180lb and take the fight for free on short notice, but KSI opted instead to hold off on making that bout until next year when they can promote it for a major stadium.
And KSI's manager Mams Taylor has now explained that the YouTube star has had an issue with Swarmz over his lack of professionalism when the pair worked together on the song Houdini in 2020. The song was KSI's highest charting at the time, reaching a peak of No.6, and the pair were scheduled for a number of appearances together.
