      KSI so relaxed during Swarmz fight he did PRESS-UPS between rounds just moments before delivering brutal KO punch

      by

      KSI did PRESS-UPS between rounds after cruising to victory against rapper Swarmz. The YouTube star returned to the ring after three years out and made up for lost time by organising TWO opponents in one night.

      Although KSI exerted little energy as he dispatched rather easily of Swarmz – real name Brandon Scott – inside four minutes.
      In the first round, he scored a knockdown and looked well on his way to winning.
      And KSI, 29, was so relaxed he began doing press-ups during what was meant to be his minute of rest.
      Unsurprisingly, Swarmz, 25, only managed to survive another minute as a left hook finished the fight off.

      KSI said: “I think once he felt my power, he was instantly like, ‘Yo, this is long’.
      “I was like, ‘Cool, get him out and now I’m ready for my next one’.”
      The Londoner now has a few hours to rest and recover before facing Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, in the main-event.
      Whereas Swarmz, bleeding from the nose, vowed to come back stronger following his late-notice debut.

      “It was hard, I had to learn how to box. But if anyone wants it, any YouTubers, Joe Weller, anyone.
      “I’ll take anyone, f*** it. Give me more time and I’ve got it.”

      Fans online mocked the musician – who only had TWO WEEKS notice – with Fury appearing to be one of them.
      He tweeted: “What have I just seen.”
      Fury, 23, himself was close to entering the world of influencer boxing having twice signed to fight Jake Paul, 25.
      But he pulled out both times, firstly after suffering a broken rib and then this August following a US visa issue.

      KSI, 29, is also looking to organise a grudge match with Paul, having drawn and then beat the American’s brother Logan, 27.
      The Londoner returned after three years out by stopping Swarmz.
      But he makes up for lost time by fighting a second opponent on the SAME NIGHT, facing Mexican Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, in the headliner.
      Swarmz, 25, replaced Alex Wassabi, 32, on late notice and had to shed almost two stone.

      ‘He’s a human carousel’ – Fans mock Swarmz after he keeps spinning in circles to evade KSI in boxing loss

      by

      RAPPER Swarmz was compared to a “human carousel” after continuously spinning around the ring against KSI. The former football prodigy, real name Brandon Scott, signed to fight KSI on just two week’s notice after Alex Wassabi pulled out.
      Rapper Swarmz was mocked after his loss to KSICredit: Rex
      But the bout went about as expected as the boxing novice swung widely, ran around of the ring and spun every time he was punched.
      At one point, commentator Todd Grisham said: “He looks like a human carousel.”
      And fans were also quick to mock Swarmz, who was floored twice and stopped in two rounds.
      One said: “Swarmz is spinning like a carousel.”

      Another added: “KSI has improved a lot! He would’ve done more damage if swarmz didn’t ‘spin more than the teacups at Disneyland’.”
      A right hand to the body and left hook was KSI’s finishing combination, putting Swarmz out of his misery.
      But the musician did have only a fortnight to prepare for his boxing debut and lost close to two stone.
      Swarmz said: “Obviously I had to lose weight, I had 20 days to lose 12kg so it was a task. It was hard, I had to learn how to box.

      Ring return
      KSI will be back in the ring in January if all goes well.
      He didn’t call out Jake Paul, but explained he needs a few more fights first before that happens.
      KSI said in the ring: “Slim looks good. I want a piece of that. Austin vs Gib, I want the winner of that. Andrew Tate, I want a piece of that. Tommy Fury, I want a piece of that.”
      Fight farce
      Mexican Pineda is a professional in the boxing ranks with two wins from seven bouts to his name.
      But he looked skinny, weak and spent his whole night complaining.
      Pineda, 23, was scared to throw a punch and seemed to hit the deck every time KSI landed.
      The Mexican boxer also complained he was being hit in the back of the head on multiple occasions.
      Next up
      KSI named five potential opponents next up…
      Slim, the winner of Austin vs Gib, Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury.
      Who would you like to see him face?

      KSI did his job, no doubt about that.
      But Pineda didn’t stop complaining about being hit on the back of the head.
      And he fell over every time KSI landed.
      Its over
      In the third round.
      And frankly not before time. That was awful from Pineda.
      Round one
      This looks like one-way traffic in KSI’s favour.
      Pineda is non-stop complaining about being hit on the back of the head.
      The main event
      KSI makes his way down the ramp once again.
      This time he’s dressed all in white.
      Expect this one to be a bit more of a battle than against Swarmz.

      A word from Fousey
      Classy speech from Fousey, about how he talked a follower out of suicide.
      “I may not be the best fighter in the ring but I’m a fighter in life and I win every single day.”
      Day one
      Deji also pays tribute to a childhood friend Shane, who helped him in his training camp and with his meal prep.
      Deji says
      “I have the best team ever. I have the best boxing coach ever and I have everyone out there showing me love and that pulled me up.”
      Sky high
      Deji is hoisted aloft by his team.
      The O2 Arena crowd cheer him on with a huge ovation.
      What a win!
      Brilliant from Deji. You can’t argue with the towel being thrown in there, Fousey looks in a bad way.
      It’s over!
      Fousey’s corner have thrown in the towel.
      Deji wins!
      Huge shot!
      A massive uppercut from Deji has Fousey grabbing on for dear life and taking an eight count.
      This could be over soon.
      Round three
      Deji is on the offensive again. Fousey has some swelling around his left eye.
      Round two
      Fousey did all the work for most of the round but was put on the canvas by a sublime counter.
      Deji in control of this bout now at the halfway stage.

      And he makes up for lost time by facing TWO opponents in one night.
      KSI starts the night facing rapper Swarmz and ends it against 2-5 Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
      At the weigh in yesterday the Londoner clashed with old rival Weller who he beat in a 2018 white collar bout.
      But the bad blood has continued to grow since KSI’s third-round win in Manchester.

      He told DAZN: “I’d actually have him for the third fight, why not?
      “Why not? After I knock out Pineda and Swarmz I’ll fight him as well. Literally in the ring, I’ll be like, ‘Alright, get your gloves on. Let’s go’.”

      KSI now returns against Swarmz, 25, and Pineda, 23, after Alex Wassabi, 32, pulled out amid a concussion scare.

      KSI wins TWO fights on same night after KOing pro-boxer Pineda and rapper Swarmz with YouTuber battering both opponents

      YOUTUBE boxing star KSI gave fans two wins for the price of one on his return to the ring. The influencer-turned musician and fighter made up for lost time after three years out by facing TWO opponents in one night.

      Firstly, he beat rapper Swarmz in two rounds and then later Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda in three.
      It meant he extraordinarily won twice in the space of a few hours.
      He said: “Ladies and gentleman, are you not entertained?
      “It’s good to be back, two fights in one night, two KOs, yeah buddy. I said it. I talk the talk and I walk the walk.”

      KSI, 29, dropped Pineda, 23, in every round while the journeyman bizarrely complained about non-existent punches to the back of the head.
      In the final round, he dropped Pineda with a right hand and then later an uppercut – by which point the ref had seen enough.
      Earlier on in the night, he dispatched of Swarmz in equally as easy and uncompetitive fashion.
      But the recording artist did go out swinging – quite literally – throwing wild haymaker right hands from all sorts of angles.

      Swarmz, 25, did only have a fortnight to prepare for the bout, while also needing to lose almost two stone after replacing Alex Wassabi, 31.
      And his inexperience showed, having been left off balance, spinning around in a fashion which drew parallels to a teacup ride.
      Somehow, by virtue of running around the ring, three minutes proved enough time for Swarmz to survive despite being floored.
      But KSI wasted no time in putting Swarmz out of his misery in round two after a body shot and left hook signalled the end of the fight.
      KSI plans to return in January and called out Tommy Fury, 23, Andrew Tate, 35, Austin McBroom, 30, and Sulieman “Slim” Albaher, 26.
