KSI and Logan Paul will fight again in 2019, after they met for the first time in
what was called "the biggest Internet event in history" last year.
KSI vs. Logan Paul is a
white-collar amateur boxing match between two YouTubers, KSI (real name
Olajide Olatunji) and Logan Paul. They are British and American, and
their respective brother Deji Olatunji participated in a joint main
event. Jack Paul was originally planned to be the first of two parts, to
be held at 8:30 pm on August 25, 2018 at the Manchester Arena in
Manchester, England, and played on YouTube's pay-per-view platform. The
battle was advertised as "the biggest Internet event in history" KSI vs Logan Paul 2 Live Free
and "the biggest white-collar boxing competition in history." The
battle ended with most draws, with two judges scoring 57-57 and another
58-57 in favor of KSI. [8] It is reported that the second battle will be
held in an unidentified US venue in May 2019, provided that neither KSI
nor Logan Paul opt out, but it did not happen. The next game will be
held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on November 9, 2019.
Prior to the Manchester Arena round in August, the two YouTube stars had signed an agreement
for a doubles agreement, although the location of the second agreement is for
discussion and is widely expected to be in the United States.
The total number of the two men exceeded 40 million, vying for a controversial majority draw,
which meant that KSI retained his "YouTube Champion Belt" after initially winning against
British opponent Joe Weller.
