Spar wars

KSI has boasted that his spar with Speed will be watched more than Jake Paul’s fight against Andre August.

He said: ‘It’ll be good. They’ll be a lot of people watching. I know they’ll be more people watching our spar than Jake’s fight.”

Speed demon

KSI has opened up on how hard he will go against Speed.

He said on the Sidecast: “It depends on how hard he goes.’ He said. ‘If he’s going nuts then I’m going to put him in cage.”

Paul over it

Many have assumed KSI’s decision to stage the spar at 4am in the morning is to spite rival Jake Paul, who fights Andre August at the same time.

But Paul told ESPN: “I feel like the whole entire thing has backfired since it’s just brought more conversation to my fight.

“People have two screens, they can watch two things at once. A 30 year-old guy is out there with me on his mind all the time trying to take things away from me or mess up my business.

“I think it’s funny that I live rent-free in this kid’s head. He wants to do everything to try to piss me off, annoy me, derail my business, or talk s*** to discredit me. He’ll do everything except fight me.”

What has been said?

KSI told Sidecast: “It depends on how hard he goes. If he’s going nuts then I’m going to put him in cage. 

‘It’ll be good. They’ll be a lot of people watching. I know they’ll be more people watching our spar than Jake’s fight.”

Speed has said: “You all don’t know how I can fight. You all don’t know what these hands can do. I don’t care if he’s Nigerian, I’m going to prove everybody wrong.

“I’m beating his a*** bro. I’m literally going to f*** KSI up. I’m going to beat the f*** out of KSI. He can’t f*** with me and you all know that.”

What happened in KSI’s last fight?

The YouTuber-turned-boxer locked horns with former Love Island star Tommy Fury in his last outing in October.

JJ turned in a better-than-expected performance, despite the fight ultimately being a snoozefest.

The judges, however, didn’t favour his work and awarded Fury a unanimous decision victory.
