      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.

      Weller offered to fight the social media star-turned musician and boxer on the streets.
      But KSI fancies settling the score in the ring, after fighting his first two opponents.
      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, 29, beat Weller, 26, in his first ever boxing match, and then drew against Logan Paul, 27, in the same year.
      He then beat Paul in their rematch a year later after the pair turned professional.
      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

      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.
      Luis Alcaraz Pineda was beaten in three rounds by KSICredit: Reuters

      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.
      BANG.
      Down Pineda goes again, and he is shaking his head, kneeling on the floor.
      A good uppercut from KSI sees Pineda down again, and THAT IS IT.
      KSI WINS AGAIN.
      Round three.
      How has Pineda made it to the third round here?
      He has been on the floor FIVE times.
      Somehow, he is here.
      Total domination from KSI, who is going to go for the knockout for sure.
      Round two.
      KSI knocks Pineda down once more, but the Mexican is back up again.
      It looks like JJ wants the highlight moment, and Pineda wants to get out of here.
      Pineda is down AGAIN.
      KSI is doing PUSHUPS in the corner of the ring.
      Eubank JR enjoyed that one.
      Round two.
      KSI is on another level here to Pineda, the Mexican can’t even really get a shot back at the Brit here.
      Pineda looks scared in the ring out there.
      Round one.
      “KSI. KSI. KSI.” Rings out around the O2 Arena.
      KSI comes out all guns blazing, and knocks down Pineda early.
      Pineda is claiming that KSI is hitting him in the back of the head.
      Pineda looks like he has given up.
      This is embarrassing for Pineda, he is complaining more than he is fighting.

      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.
      The main event is here!
      Here we go.
      KSI against Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
      Michael Buffer is back.
      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.
      Logan Paul did an interview with Ade Oladipo, and was questioned about his brothers potential fight with KSI who is up next.
      We all know it’s inevitable”Logan PaulOn KSI vs Jake Paul
      The big one up next!
      We have the main event up next.
      It is KSI vs Pineda!
      Can the Olatunji brothers make it 3/3 wins on the night?
      This one will no doubt be a tougher test for JJ than Swarmz was, but can he pull it off?
      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.
      Really good from Slim so far.
      Big right hand, and the best punch of the night from Slim!
      SLIM THE HIT MAN WINS BY KNOCKOUT.
      Round one.
      Big right hand from Slim early in the first round.
      And it is getting wild with some big wide punches from both of these fighters.
      There is blood on the face of Faze Temper already.
      The first round comes to a close, and that absolutely flew by.
      Action packed. This is competitive.
      Faze Temper comes out the oppposite.
      It is very serious from Faze Temper.
      No Vanessa Carlton round here from the Brazilian.
      Brilliant from Slim.
      His ring walk song, is A Thousand Miles my Vanessa Carlton.
      Sing it with us…
      “MAKING MY WAY DOWNTOWN, WALKING FAST, FACES PASS AND I’M HOMEBOUND”
      This is certainly confident from Slim, and he is putting on quite a show.

      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.

      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.

      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

      The Williams man has got into Q2 with a fine final lap. He pushes Vettel into the drop zone.
      Mercedes are struggling
      Russell is in 10th and Hamilton is in 11th, but their car is all over the place. Big problems right now.
      Red Bull set the pace
      Early indication that Red Bull have the pace as Verstappen goes half a second quicker than Sainz after his first flying lap.
      Perez in P3 and Leclerc in P4.
      We are underway at Spa
      After the delay, there is a green light in the pitlane.
      Qualifying will start in 15 minutes
      Finally, we are due to get underway here at Spa. Barrier has been repaired and it is declared safe.
      Delay to qualifying
      There was damage to a crash barrier during the Porsche Supercup, which has forced a delay to qualifying.
      The repairs have now been completed and we are waiting for a time for when this session will start.
      Leclerc was in the gravel.
      Charles Leclerc spun off of the track in FP3, but managed to avoid a big crash with the barriers.
      The man from Monaco also had an interesting chat via the radio with his team, as he said:
      “Can we take off the noises that go with the toggles because they are a bit weird, when I hear it I think it is the engine all the time.”
      Ferrari’s engine troubles have been well documented so far this season, and that is clearly taking its toll on their drivers.

      Qualifying just an hour away
      The Qualifying for the Spa GP will begin in just under an hours time.
      Sergio Perez set the fastest time in FP3, after teammate Max Verstappen appeared to have the faster car in FP1 and FP2.
      After the red flag period ended, Perez posted the quickest lap of the session so far. An even more impressive feat considering light rain was creeping in…
      Disappointing for Hamilton.
      Lewis Hamilton ended the final practice in 12th place today, ahead of qualifying.
      This is not good news for the Brit, who will be hoping for a better performance in qualifying ahead of tomorrow’s Grand Prix in Spa.
      This was expected to be a big race for Lewis, with many of his usual competitors starting from the back of the grid due to penalties.
      Perez tops the session
      The Red Bull man finishes as the quickest driver in the final practice ahead of Verstappen, who could face a further penalty for ignoring yellow flags.
      Sainz, Norris, Alonso, Russell, Leclerc, Vettel, Ocon and Gasly make up the top 10.
      Hamilton? He’s down in 12th place.
      Leclerc spins – Red flag
      The Ferrari man was pushing too hard and spins. He bounces his car off the tyre wall.
      The race director has already red flagged the session. The clock is still counting down. We have just over six minutes to go.
      Perez leads Sainz
      Finally, the big teams are getting their quick laps in. Red Bull and Ferrari both showing their hands.
      Verstappen could be in trouble here
      He’s failed to slow down for yellow flags. Maybe a penalty incoming….
