Toying with him
KSI was seen dancing in the ring, letting himself be punched and even shouting for “more” from Speed before he left the ring after just four rounds.
‘No elbows’
Despite being battered and bruised, Speed made a hilarious dig at KSI mid-fight.
In a bout back in May, KSI controversially knocked out Joe Fournier with what appeared to be his elbow.
It led to Speed shouting “no elbows okay” at him.
KSI laughed it off and said, “no, no, I won’t.”
Fans react
Social media was left in hysterics as KSI wiped the floor with Speed before he surprisingly tapped out in the fourth round.
One fan said: “KSI was straight up bullying Speed bro.”
Another added: “Had Speed scared.”
A third commented: “Speed was suffering.”
In a rush
After the sparring session, it appeared a disappointed Speed was in a hurry to leave.
When approached by interviewer Fred Talks Fighting, he replied: “Get away from me, before I beat yo white a**.”
KSI dances in the ring
KSI even took time to have a little dance in the ring while Speed was down for the count at one point…
What’s next for KSI?
Fans will naturally want to see the YouTube mogul take on Jake Paul but KSI has previously said he wants to take a bit of a break.
Paul has already spoken about potentially fighting KSI’s former trainer Viddal Riley.
Riley is a pro boxer himself and is signed to Anthony Joshua’s management company.
KSI may instead go down the route of a Tommy Fury rematch.
Another one
Adding salt to the wounds, KSI slammed Jake Paul after his win over Andre August.
He said: “I mean, am I shocked? No. We all know that Jake just look for super easy fights and he fought a cab driver this time.
“It is what it is. I don’t really care about him, I didn’t even know he was fighting the same time as me.”
KSI takes a dig
He looked to have taken a swipe at Jake Paul, who was fighting Andre August at the same time as the spar.
KSI told Fred Talks Fighting: “I think it was definitely the event of the night. I think there was a lot of boxing fights happening at around the same time.
“But I’m pretty sure there were more watching ours than anyone else’s.”
Jake Paul speaks out
He was asked about the spar following his KO over Andre August.
Paul said: “I don’t care it’s just two different things, right? He’s chasing views as a 30-year-old man and I’m chasing legacy and belts.
“All kudos to him, I hope he makes his wildest dreams come true.”
KSI speaks out
The YouTube star has spoken out for the first time since the spar and laughed at the fact Speed refused to shake his hands.
KSI tweeted: “Can’t lie, I’m proud of speed. He got HEART!”
