YouTube star KSI will make a pretty penny for his boxing return on Saturday night, but he has reportedly turned down offers amounting to $150million for other endeavours.
The social media star hasn't fought since November 2019 when he defeated Logan Paul in Los Angeles in a professional rematch of their initial white-collar meeting and returns this weekend with two fights in one night. He will open the card against rapper Swarmz before going back for the main event where he will face Mexican journeyman Lucas Pineda.
However, he has had to put his chart-topping rap career on hold for the past few months as he trains for his comeback, including skipping major summer festivals around the UK and Europe. His manager Mams Taylor has now claimed that he turned down nine-figures worth of offers to make his return to boxing happen.
