      by

      KSI IS known around the world, thanks to his impressive YouTube channel, followed by an incredible boxing career.But despite the Watford-born vlogger – who’s real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – documenting every inch of his life, he likes to keep his love life a secret.

      Does KSI have a girlfriend?
      Despite KSI not revealing her identity, he does have a girlfriend.
      The boxer often mentions his partner in interviews – but her identity is still a complete mystery.
      KSI – who shot to fame as one of the Sidemen – refuses to tell people her name, leaving fans wondering who his mysterious girl really is.
      In his 2023 Amazon documentary, the streamer revealed that he got back with his girlfriend after splitting up in 2021.
      Ahead of his fight with Tommy Fury, the YouTuber also revealed in September 2023, how his partner was “f***ing terrified” about seeing him take on the Love Island star – that was until she watched him sparring.

      KSI told streamer Adin Ross: “I’ll tell you this – my girlfriend was very, very nervous, very, very nervous.
      “She was like, ‘I don’t know about this Tommy fight, I’m f***ing terrified, Tommy’s a big guy, I saw what he did to Jake. I’m not sure about this fight, can I see you spar?’
      “She saw me spar – I sparred terribly – and she was like, ‘Oh my f***ing God I get it. Oh my f***ing God, you’re going to f***ing annihilate him.’
      “I sparred terribly, mum’s life I sparred terribly. This week I sparred terribly and she was like, ‘Yeah, I f***ing understand.'”

      KSI also brought up his mystery woman during an interview with Good Morning Britain in August 2023.
      He said: “For me, I keep my private things very, very private. I have a girlfriend and she’s very private, we keep things quiet.
      “Whenever I spend time with her, it’s all about her. Even with my family, I like to do things privately and it’s just making sure that whenever I need to be out in the public eye.”
      Also in November 2019, just ahead of his match against Logan Paul, KSI paid tribute to his family and gave a mention to his ‘beautiful girlfriend’.
      The YouTuber revealed on Instagram: “My body has been pushed to a point I never knew I had. I came to Vegas to be trained by the best with no distractions and I have come out an absolute beast.
      “Throughout this period I have missed my family, my friends and my beautiful girlfriend, but they all understood that me training in Vegas was necessary.”
      Who has he been previously linked with?
      Seana Cuthbert
      The only girlfriend of KSI that has ever been confirmed is fellow YouTuber Seana Cuthbert.
      The pair were in a relationship from 2012 to 2014.
      The vlogger, who goes by the user name Seanyyy, previously opened up on her time with the boxer, revealing that he was “too busy online” to dedicate time to a serious relationship.
      Seana told followers: “We were very young, only 17 and lived miles apart.
      “He was also really busy with YouTube and did not have enough time for a relationship. We were quite young and he just wanted to go out and enjoy himself – like every lad does.
      “I’ve moved on and so has he now.”
      Anne Marie
      In early 2023, it was rumoured that KSI and singer Anne-Marie were dating after working on songs together.
      The rumour-mill went into overdrive, with fans thinking that she could be the secret girlfriend.
      But the pair soon shut down speculation, and KSI confirmed in a YouTube video that they weren’t an item. More

      He previously worked with Fury during the Gyspy King’s comeback to the sport in 2018.
      Davison helped Fury prepare for his first bout with Wilder which ended in a draw, though many felt the Brit deserved the win.

      Another added: “John Fury video going nuts and tearing Ben down incoming in 5..4..3..2..1.”
      A third said: “Great coach, could be good if he’s ever to face Fury, although Fury turned into a different animal after Ben.”

      And another commented: “Joshua needs to get to a stage where he’s letting his hands go more, that’s the AJ I personally want to see. If Ben gets that out of him then great stuff 👍”
      Joshua, 33, has won two out of two since losing to Oleksandr Usyk but did not convince in either bout.
      He teamed up with trainer Derrick James at the beginning of the year company with Robert Garcia – who replaced his former long-time trainer Rob McCracken. More

      The fight proved to be a complete mismatchCredit: PA
      But the Brit’s 16th professional outing proved to be a complete mismatch from the outset, with Opetaia hurting and drawing blood from him in the first round.
      Opetaia, 28, couldn’t miss with his power shots, which repeatedly bludgeoned the nose of the dogged and determined Thompson.
      One of the punishing blows nearly contorted Thompson’s bloodied face and sent spurts of his life force flying through the air.
      A brave but outgunned Thompson was dropped in the third round and was badly rocked before the end of the stanza.

      The fight should’ve been stopped between rounds but Thompson’s corner dusted him off and sent him back out there.
      Opetaia didn’t waste the opportunity to pick up his 18th career stoppage, swarming early and landing a straight left and a vicious right hook which sent Thompson to the canvas.
      “I stand here in this ring and I’m born for this s**t,” a fired-up Opetaia roared after his first title defence.
      He added: “I felt like this entire fight week was about Jordan Thompson. It was nothing to do with me.

      “They put me in this small ring thinking they were going to cut me off but look what happened.
      ” I got good footwork.
      “I told them I got good power, too. Look what happened.”
      Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn took to Instagram to hail both men’s performances in the shadows of Wembley Stadium.
      He wrote: “We had a special fighter in the U.K. last night in @jaiopetaia_
      “I believe he will capture every belt in the division.
      “Shout out to @jordan_boxing_ for rolling the dice..heavyweight awaits.”

      Brit boxing up-and-comer Jamie TKV left covered in blood with gruesome eye injury in brutal shock loss to late stand-in

      But late-notice opponent, Brazil’s Igor Macedo, butchered his right eye with a savage right hand.
      TKV – real surname Tshikeva – dropped his hands as soon as he suffered the sixth-round blow and blood started squirting down his face.
      And he was rushed out of York Hall and straight to hospital to have the gruesome wound stitched up.
      TKV has enjoyed a big push from BOXXER promoters and Sky Sports but he was horribly mismatched against Brazil’s heavyweight champion, who had earned all of his 11 wins inside the distance.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The Brit had been talking up future fights with compatriot rivals like Frazer Clarke and Fabio Wardley but he now faces possible plastic surgery on his eye and a career rebuild.
      Macedo meanwhile celebrated by having a bible handed to him in the ring and holding the Good Book aloft.
      TKV made a slow start and rapidly built up speed going downhill.
      Despite being a growing star on the London heavyweight sparring scene – and earning plenty of praise for his hand speed and bodywork – he had a howler in Bethnal Green.

      From the very first bell, Macedo’s unpredictable style and booming right hands gave TKV nightmares and the Englishman’s corner kept begging him to wake up.
      Eventually, it was a textbook one-two – a left jab and right hand – that made TKV’s eyebrow burst open.
      And the referee wasted little time waving off the fight and letting the brutalised Brit dash off for urgent medical attention.

      Canelo Alvarez rolls back years to defeat Charlo in dominant display then roars ‘nobody can beat this, I’m a strong man’

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ proved he’s still a force to be reckoned with thanks to a dominant victory over Jermell Charlo.The pride of Mexico defended his undisputed super middleweight throne against his 160lbs counterpart in front of a sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas early on Sunday morning.

      The tall, rangy and explosive Charlo was, on paper, expected to give the face of boxing some trouble.
      That trouble, however, didn’t materialise as Canelo asserted his dominance from the first to the final bell on his way to earning a lopsided points decision.
      There were no shenanigans from the judges, who scored scoring the contest 119-108, 118-109 and 118-109 in favour of the Guadalajara gladiator.
      A fired-up Canelo, 33, roared: “I’m the best. Who’s better? Nobody can beat this Canelo.”

      He added: “I’m a strong fighter all the time. I’m a strong man.”

      Canelo said of the knockdown: “I worked all the fight to go in the body.
      “Then I changed the punch and that’s what happened. We worked for that.

      “Three months in the mountains without my family, without everything.
      “But I still love boxing. Boxing made me the person I am today. Boxing is my life.”
      Former undisputed light-middleweight champion Charlo – who was stripped of his WBO crown as soon as the first bell rang – cut a dejected figure after coming up short in the biggest fight of his career.
      He said: “I just feel like I wasn’t me in there. It’s boxing.
      “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.”
      Disappointment with his performance aside, Charlo is proud of going the distance with the sport’s former pound-for-pound king.

      Tyson Fury says he’ll be ‘ridiculed’ for Francis Ngannou loss like Man Utd were after 7-0 hammering by Liverpool

      by

      TYSON FURY has compared the prospect of losing to Francis Ngannou to the battering his beloved Manchester United suffered at the hands of Liverpool last season.The Gypsy King locks horns with the former UFC heavyweight champion in a controversial crossover clash in Saudi Arabia next month.

      Fury is an overwhelming favourite to come out of the desert dust-up victorious but insists he’s not taking the boxing novice lightly.
      And he’s all too aware of the stain losing the Saudi showdown will leave on his career, much like Manchester United’s 7-0 loss to Liverpool in March has done with Erik ten Hag’s reign as Red Devils boss.
      He told TNT Sports: “He’s about 6ft 5in tall, he’s about 278 pounds, he’s about 18 or 19 stone, a dynamite puncher with both hands.
      “He’s recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the hardest puncher to have ever punched anything, so there’s that risk.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “The biggest risk of all is fighting an MMA fighter, and I’m the world heavyweight champion, so what happens if he beats me? Ridiculed.
      “It would be like getting beat by Liverpool for Manchester United, 7-0, wouldn’t it?
      “How do you come back from that?”
      Despite Ngannou’s lack of professional boxing experience, Fury, 35, is treating the MMA man-mountain the same way he has all his previous opponents.

      He said: “All of these opponents I face, they are all risky fights, or are all big men – like anyone over 14 stone is a big man.
      ‘All of these guys are big lumps and when I fight them the risk is always the same, they’ve got a puncher’s chance.
      “But I never leave a stone unturned.
      ‘That’s one thing I do. I always do everything I can in my power to be successful.
      “The way I look at it is, if this guy is going to beat me then fair play to him I will shake his hand, he must be a good fighter because I’m no easy man to beat as I’ve shown over the years.
      ‘So if I can bump into somebody that can beat me, I would say, ‘Fantastic, fair play to you, well done,’ take them for a beer and that’s it.”
      Fury is set to perform a quick turnaround after his ten-rounder with Ngannou for a historic undisputed heavyweight title fight with former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
      SunSport understands the fight is on course to take place in Saudi on December 23, although it could be pushed back to January. More
