YouTube star KSI was forced to stage his two fights tonight over three rounds in order for them to be professionally sanctioned.
KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - will lace up his gloves for the first time in over 1,000 days when he attempts to make history and beat his two opponents, Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda, all in one night at London's O2 arena. It will be KSI's second and third professional outings having defeated Logan Paul in their sanctioned rematch by split decision back in 2019.
KSI faced a great deal of criticism when he was initially just set to face musician Swarmz - real name Brendan Scott -, but later elected to add professional fighter Pineda who has a record of two victories and five defeats. However he has now responded to fresh criticism over the duration of his fights, tweeting: "I tried making both fights six rounds but the commission wouldn’t allow it.
