KSI nearly came to blows with former rival Joe Weller ahead of his return to the ring.
Weller was among the spectators at the weigh-ins for YouTuber’s clashes with rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Pineda on Saturday night.
But the social media star almost sparked a brawl by charging at KSI as his former rival conducted an interview.
Weller stormed over after KSI asked him: “Why is this man… why are you standing like that?”
Security quickly intervened and dragged a fired-up Weller away from the scene.
KSI said of the incident: “Why is he doing that… f**k Joe Weller, man, I don’t care he’s a b***h; he’s always hated me.

“I’ve knocked him out once and I’ll knock him out again. Why is he at this event? Why did he get accepted?”
KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – stopped Weller in their grudge match four years ago at London’s Copperbox Arena.
Weller, 26, was stopped in the third round of the Battle of the YouTubers.
The pair seemingly squashed their beef after the fight but have continued to take shots at one another.

“I want a street [fight]. I want no rules. I don’t want anyone to help him.
“I don’t want anyone he can hide behind. I just want me and him in a car park. Serious.
“He won’t take it, though. He ain’t about that.”
