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

      by

      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.

      Well, Slim absolutely blew this one out of the water.
      It turns out Eminem isn’t the only Slim who knows his tunes, as the USA fighter rocked out to A Million Miles by Vanessa Carlton.
      As soon as the crowd heard that little piano intro, they were excited to see what Slim had to bring to the stage.
      It got even better when we realised it was a mashup with September, by Earth, Wind and Fire.
      He lived up to his soundtrack with his performance too, as he got the knockout of the night against Faze Temper.
      “Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I’m homebound…”
      KSI is hungry.
      The British boxer, rapper, YouTuber, and entrepreneur claimed that his boxing career was far from over tonight.
      He named a list of potential next fights, and stated that we will see him fight again in January, but not against Jake Paul, who many were expecting.

      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.
      In truth, the Mexican would have been better off paired up against KSI’s first opponent Swarmz, who he also embarrassed.
      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.
      Fight of the night.
      There were some brilliant fights on tonight, in what was an evening packed full of big punches, great music and tough brawls.
      Salt Papi knocked out Andy Warski within 30 seconds, which lead to Logan Paul recommending that the TikTok superstar fights his brother Jake for his next test.
      King Kenny vs Sensei was labelled a farce by many fans, as Sensei appeared to dominate the fight, before King Kenny was awarded the win via the judges decision.
      Deen the Great also put on a show in the second fight of the night, as he showed excellent boxing ability before face-planting a back flip in celebration.
      But ultimately, the fight of the night has to go to Deji vs Fousey.
      Deji went into the fight as a bit of an underdog, after the crowd saw how Fousey had shedded a lot of body fat in preparation for the big night.
      But with the crowd behind him, we saw a different side to Deji, one that was cool, calm and collected, with a deadly left hand that dominated Fousey throughout the fight.
      It was great to see Deji finally get a win, and therefore that, was the fight of the night.

      Knockout of the night.
      Knockout of the night from SunSport has to go to Slim, for the clean right-handed knockout on Faze Temper.
      There were some other greats in there, such as Deji on Fousey, but this right hook was something really special.

      KSI announces next fight date.
      Well, after he gave a list of potential next fights, including Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury, KSI also announced that his next fight will be in January.
      He explained his reasoning for not calling out Jake Paul just yet too, stating that there are many fights that need to happen before that one does.
      The Brit clearly feels that the Jake Paul fight will happen, but, it is about timing for him.
      KSI embraces his inner AJ
      He came out dressed in all white, and made his opponent wait just like AJ often does.
      Not only that, but he went on to use AJ’s quote in his post match interview…
      Man the first time was so nice, I HAD to do it twice”KSIvia DAZN
      KSI calls out FIVE fighters.
      KSI just called out Andrew Tate, the winner of Gib vs McBroom, Slim and Tommy Fury.
      Which would you like to see most?

      KSI goes two wins from two.
      And the Olatunji family go three from three, as KSI beat Swarmz and Pineda BOTH by knockout, and Deji beat Fousey by knockout too.

      Round three.

      A good uppercut from KSI sees Pineda down again, and THAT IS IT.
      KSI WINS AGAIN.

      How has Pineda made it to the third round here?

      Total domination from KSI, who is going to go for the knockout for sure.
      Round two.

      Here comes KSI, again…
      For the second time tonight, looking as cool as ever, here comes KSI.
      He is making his opponent wait here, a tactic we have seen from Anthony Joshua in the past.
      He walks out to ‘Not Over Yet’, and has UK rap superstar Headie One rapping his verse in the ring.
      Luis Pineda comes out.
      He comes out with a Lucha libre mask on, and he is very tall, that is for sure.
      The legendary Canelo Alvarez will testament to just how brilliant Mexican fighters can be.

      LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE.
      He is THAT GUY.
      Isn’t he?
      Wow, so confident from the man who has conquered almost all avenues in his life.
      KSI spoke before the main event vs Pineda, as he expressed how proud he was of his brother, but also how great Slim was in the co-main event.
      Oh, and he had this to say on the main event:
      It’s time to end this, with another KO baby, Let’s go!”KSIBefore the main event
      Logan Paul hypes up the big one.

      We have the main event up next.
      It is KSI vs Pineda!

      Wow! Slim puts Temper down and out!
      Slim backed up everything he said in the pre-amble to this fight.
      There was a HUGE right hand from the hit man, who watched Temper bounce off the canvas.
      What a fight that was!
      Round two.
      Slim gets a big hit on Temper, and sticks his tongue out with eyes wide open.

      Piers Morgan ‘looking forward’ to Tyson Fury’s next fight with TalkTV host set to win £1million bet with Gypsy King

      by

      PIERS MORGAN says he’s “looking forward” to seeing Tyson Fury fight again with the TalkTV host set to win £1million if the Gypsy King steps back inside the squared circle. Sun columnist Morgan, 57, spoke to WBC world heavyweight champion Fury following his Wembley win over Dillian Whyte earlier this year.

      In the aftermath of the all-British clash, Fury announced his retirement from boxing.
      But he could be set to step back inside the squared circle to face WBA, WBO and IBF king Oleksandr Usyk following his points victory over Anthony Joshua.
      Speaking after the thriller in Saudi Arabia, the unbeaten Ukrainian, 35, stated he will fight nobody else if he cannot land a showdown with Fury.
      An undisputed affair between the pair could be worth as much as £500m, with Fury giving Usyk’s team one week to agree a deal to fight him.
      READ MORE ON BOXING
      But should he lace up the gloves again, he will have to give Morgan £1m following a bet they made on TalkTV in June.
      After insisting he will only box again for £500m, Morgan asked Fury: “How about if you do fight again, you give me a million pounds?”
      To which Tyson replied: “If I am getting half a billion for my fight it won’t matter will it. Yep, 100 per cent.”
      Fury later declared he will honour the wager with Morgan.

      Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “I’ll owe Piers Morgan one million pounds, in pound coins.”
      And Morgan said on Twitter as a reminder: “Looking forward to the Gipsy King @Tyson_Fury⁩ fighting again…”
      On a fight with Usyk, Fury says offers have to be submitted by the end of the month.
      Fury said: “Everyone keeps asking about this fight with this Ukrainian guy.
      “Are you going to come back? Are you going to do this? Are you going to do that?
      “I’m retired from boxing and I’m very happy doing that. However, I will come back but it has to be for obscene amounts of money.
      “Let’s face it, it’s not Anthony Joshua – which I would’ve done for free in England.
      “It’s some foreigner who nobody really cares about. To fight this unknown entity and give him an opportunity of legendary status? They have to pay for that.
      “I don’t mind chucking a dog a bone, but I don’t want to chuck him the full f****** dogs’ home.
      “They have a week. It’s August 24. They have a week to submit their offers.

      “I want it in writing with proof of funds. This fight is purely about money. I’m happily retired. I don’t need money, I’ve got plenty of money.”

      Tyson Fury casually sits on gold THRONE at home after bringing back prop from Deontay Wilder fight

      TYSON FURY proves he isn’t called the Gypsy King for nothing… by casually sitting on a golden THRONE at home.Fury, 34, is known for his bold style and eclectic tastes.

      And he took things to a whole new level by setting up the stunning golden throne in his £1.7million luxury Morecambe mansion.
      The regal seat was a prop used by Fury during his ring-walk in February 2020’s rematch against Deontay Wilder.
      Fury also took a minute to sit in the chair on his way to the ring before fighting Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April.
      And the throne has now become part of the furniture at Fury’s house.

      It certainly won’t look out of place, with the fighter’s stunning £1.7m Morecambe home boasting various luxuries.
      The mansion is covered with gold curtains and gold radiators.
      There are also huge chandeliers dangling from the ceilings, and the kitchen is decked out in red marble.
      The house marks a big upgrade on Fury’s previous abode, a modest £550,000 house by Morecambe’s seaside.

      And it’s no surprise the mansion is so well furnished, with Fury reportedly boasting a net worth of £100million.
      That figure would grow vastly should he accept a heavyweight division unifier against Oleksandr Usyk.
      It would give Fury plenty of more cash to burn.
      And he could opt to boost his already-incredible line-up of luxury cars.
      Fury owns numerous motors including a £250,000 Ferrari GTC4Lusso, a £140k Porsche Taycan and TWO Rolls-Royce Phantoms – each costing £384k. More

      He is optimistic that a deal will be completed soon and has earmarked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Las Vegas as potential locations for the event.
      When speaking to BoxingScene.com, Arum admitted that confirming a location is currently the top priority.
      He said: “Saudi Arabia I think had a good experience with the last fight (Usyk vs Joshua) that they did.
      “And Qatar is hosting this enormous World Cup event, so they might be interested.

      “And then, I’m sure Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, will be interested. So, yeah, we’ll take all of that into account.
      “And there is a lot of interest from people in the United States. I think there’s a group of casinos in Las Vegas that are trying to get together and bring the event to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
      “So, that’s all up in the air. We’ll all decide what the best deal is. It’ll be in consultation with Queensberry, Frank Warren and his son, George, and the fighters. But we’re in a great position.”
      Only a select few high-profile locations will be able to consider hosting the bout as Fury is demanding a whopping £500MILLION to get back in the ring.

      But, the pressure is on as the Gypsy King has set a deadline of September 1 to get the deal completed.
      If terms have not been agreed before then, he has threatened to go back into retirement.
      Earlier this week, he told TalkSPORT: “Everyone keeps asking about this fight with this Ukrainian guy. Are you going to come back? Are you going to do this? Are you going to do that?
      “Let’s face it, it’s not Anthony Joshua – which I would’ve done for free in England.

      “They have a week. It’s August 24. They have a week to submit their offers. I want it in writing with proof of funds.”
      This came just days after Usyk defeated Joshua in a split decision thriller.
      After the fight, the Ukrainian called out Fury and challenged him to an undisputed heavyweight championship bout.

      He said: “I’m sure that Tyson Fury is not retired yet. I’m sure, I’m convinced he wants to fight me.

      Why is KSI not fighting Ivan Nikolov?
      Originally KSI was announced to fight pro boxer Ivan Nikolov as his boxing opponent in the second half of the main event for Saturday night.
      But Nikolov has since been pulled from the card and replaced by Pineda.

      This is because Nikolov, 43, has been seen to have neo-Nazi tattoos, causing fan fury.
      A “white power” tattoo is seen on his stomach and on his left forearm, Nikolov has a tattoo of the words “Blood & Honour”.
      That is the name of a neo-Nazi skinhead group formed in England in the 1980s.
      Also in between the words is a triskele symbol, a three-pointed swastika which was the logo for the group.
      Nikolov also has a Schutzstaffel logo on his right arm, which was the police and military force of the Nazi Party, who pledged an oath of loyalty to Germany’s ex-dictator Adolf Hitler.
      His neo-Nazi tattoos were pointed out by one of his previous opponents, Daniel Blenda Dos Santos, who slammed the boxer after winning their fight in April.
      Dos Santos said: “When I saw his tattoos, some of them racist in nature, I wanted to hurt him.”
      KSI, 29, responded to the allegations on his YouTube channel and confirmed Nikolov was replaced due to his tattoos.
      He said: “He’s a white supremacist
      “Ivan isn’t my opponent anymore. He has been removed.
      “The matchmaker also got fired for allowing this to happen in the first place. But yes, my new opponent is Luis Alcaraz Pineda.”
