Speed wipes out KSI inside 17 seconds with dangerous challenge at Sidemen charity match

YouTube sensation turned boxer KSI was wiped out by a brutal tackle from Speed just 17 seconds into Saturday's charity football match between Sidemen and a Youtube Allstars team.

The sold-out event, which is taking place at Charlton Athletic's stadium, The Valley, is raising funds that will go directly to the Charlton Athletic Community Trust and Young Minds charity and features a host of big names, including KSI and Logan Paul.

Vikkstar123, Pieface and Chunkz are some of the other famous faces who have taken to the pitch in south east London - and they all had a perfect view of Speed's crunching tackle that sent KSI flying just seconds into the match.

Speed, an American YouTube star who had joked around with KSI prior to the match, came flying in with an x-rated tackle to down KSI and stun the 27,000-capacity crowd.

The YouTuber bounced around with excitement after the crunching tackle while KSI, one of the co-founders of the Sidemen group, picked himself up from the turf.

Fortunately, no harm was done and KSI was quick to get back into the action, flying into a tackle of his own shortly after to thwart fellow English YouTuber Theo Baker as he attempted to break through on goal.

KSI's efforts were ultimately in vain though as Chunkz fired the YouTube AllStars into an early lead with a stunning long-range strike. Niko doubled their advantage shortly after by chipping over PieFace in the home goal.

But Sidemen fought back through goals from Vikkstar and Tobi before Yung Filly restored the AllStars lead with another excellent strike from long-range.

League Two side Crawley Town made headlines earlier in the week when they announced that they would be sending scouts to the charity match to “evaluate” all of the participants in their search for new talent ahead of November's FA Cup first-round tie.
