Streamer Andy Warski battled drug addiction and "losing it all" before boxing debut

Canadian streamer Andy Warski "lost it all" and battled with drug addiction as he hit rock bottom before landing a spot on the undercard for KSI's boxing return.

But he has turned his life around through gruelling 3-5 hour per day training sessions to prepare for a fight with fan favourite Salt Papi at The O2 arena in London tonight.

At one point, he admits that he felt suicidal, believing that his life was "over" and that he couldn't come back from his lowest ebb.
