    Hug it out
    The two fighters embrace in the ring, and that brings an end to the pre-show here at Wembley Arena.
    The main card will begin shortly.
    Boogie is halfway up the ramp to the exit. Wings is posing for photos in the ring.
    Count out
    Wings of Redemption picked up where he left off in round one and Boogie had no response.
    He took a number of massive blows and was forced into another count.
    This time the referee waved it off. He didn’t like the look in Boogie’s eyes.
    It’s over
    Wings wins by TKO!
    Ding ding ding
    Wings has completely dominated that round.
    He landed shot after shot on Boogie, who had no answer but to turn around and try and catch a break.
    Also the ring looks to be pretty sturdy still.
    Short of it
    Boogie is taking a count. It doesn’t look like he went down but he rocked heavily on the ropes.
    His shorts are also falling down. His corner is taking time to pull them up and tighten them.
    Just when you think you’ve seen it all.
    Seconds out
    We’re underway. Round 1.
    Singalong
    Wings is singing his entrance music – I’m not too sure what it is.
    He’s wearing red shorts with black trim and looks slightly the smaller man… only very slightly.
    Grand entrance
    Boogie makes his way out to ‘Ridin Dirty’ by Chamillionaire in green shorts with gold and black trim and a hype man following him down the ramp.
    And now it’s time for Wings of Redemption.
    Here we go
    OK, we’ve just had a rendition of the US national anthem that got a mixed reception from the Wembley crowd.
    And we’re ready to welcome the fighters… here comes Boogie!
    We have a winner
    Unbaer had won a split decision that probably could’ve gone either way.
    No complaints from Corn. He leaves the ring… which is bracing itself for 800lbs worth of boxer coming in very shortly.
    Seconds out
    Our third bout of the evening has just ended.
    We’ll find out a winner very shortly, but both men look absolutely exhausted.
    Boogie and Wings are next up.
    Who is Wings of Redemption?
    Real name Richard Jordan, Wings of Redemption is also a video game influencer who has been caught up in some controversy of his own.
    The 37-year-old had his Twitch account temporarily suspended in 2021 after rising to fame in the early days of the Call of Duty games.
    His account was apparently blocked because he used “hate speech.”
    Next up
    We have one more fight before the one we’re waiting for.
    It’s Corn vs Unbaer. And then we’ll have Boogie and Wings probably in around 20 minutes from now for the pre-show main event, if there is such a thing.
    View from ringside
    This is out set-up for the evening in Wembley.

    Halfway there
    We’re two bouts down and two to go on the undercard.
    Luis Nestor from Tampa, Florida has just beaten Callum King from Sevenoaks in Kent.
    Halal Ham was a mystery opponent to start the night and he beat Zuckles in quite spectacular fashion.

    Who is Boogie 2988?
    Real name Steven Jay Williams, Boogie2988 is an American YouTube star known for making videos about gaming.
    The 48-year-old is from Abingdon, Virginia and has over four million subscribers on his channel.
    He is known for his rants about video games and was caught up in a controversy two years ago which led to a warrant being released for his arrest.
    Williams allegedly pulled a gun on a rival called Frank Hassle, who he’d been having a back and forth with for several months.
    Boogie nights
    Here’s what Boogie had to say about the bout on YouTube in the buildup to the event.
    “I’m going into this thing with the plan to win. But if I could make it all the way through three rounds I will be happy with that.
    “If I’m still standing at the end I will be very proud of myself. There are going to be some people tuning in to watch two fat guys and make fun of them.
    “There’s also hopefully going to be a few people who are inspired by this.
    “I want to prove to myself that I can face my fears. I’m going to do my absolute best to put Jordie on his a**.
    “This is a very important first step to put everything I’ve learned in the last few weeks into action. I promise you I am going to make this fight entertaining as possible.”
    Biggest bout ever
    These pair of influencers yesterday weighed in at a combined 800lbs in what makes this the heaviest boxing fight of all time.
    Boogie2988 – who rose to prominence with his brash and controversial playing style on Call of Duty – weighed in at 391.6lbs.
    Wings of Redemption – real name – Richard Jordan – came in the slightly heavier man at 404lbs.

    This time, the 23-year-old took to the streets of New York where she donned a tiny top, while braless, and left absolutely nothing to imagination.
    The British beauty shared that pic in one of her stories and left her fans in awe.

    Apollonia said: “I was wearing a white T-shirt that covered everything with no cleavage on show. It is absolutely ridiculous.
    “There was no warning, no nothing. I don’t know where the nudity has come from.
    “When it happened I was just so confused and didn’t really understand what was going on and when I clicked on it and it said I had been banned.
    “I was shocked because I haven’t done anything wrong. I would understand if I was sitting there in a bikini or whatever but that definitely wasn’t the case.
    “I was just getting my makeup done and answering questions, nothing like what they are thinking I have done.
    “It is just so frustrating because I was just sitting there in a T-shirt and I could understand it if I was exposed but I was literally completely covered.”

    He continued: “I want to say thank you to everyone in here, and the millions watching at home as well. Thank you.”

    I went from making videos in my bedroom to having all the money I need – now it’s time to give back, says KSI

    KSI has completed the stunning rise from a teenage gamer in his bedroom to multimillionaire superstar – now he wants to give back. The 29-year-old – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – started his YouTube channel in 2009.

    And over a decade later, KSI has become a pioneer of the social media site, with over 40 MILLION subscribers.
    His content creation has taken him into the world of movies, music and now boxing, earning him a reported net worth of around £20m.
    But after making enough to cash one could ever wish for, KSI tells SunSport inspiring others is now his main focus.
    In an exclusive interview, he said: “I think once I made a certain amount of money, I kind of got to the point where I was like, I’m happy, I’m comfortable, I can do whatever I want, I have that freedom.

    “So it’s like, OK now that I’ve made a decent amount, why don’t I just do more with my legacy?
    “Show the world that a boy who started in his bedroom can just become whatever he wants if he really puts his mind to something. 
    “And with that, I want to help more people, do more charity work, do more on the ground just to really help as many people as I can as well as making videos to entertain. 
    “As well as knocking people out and showing people that you can make something of your life, be healthy, be strong and just be a better person in general.

    “That’s what I feel like life is all about, just being a better person throughout this journey of life.” 
    KSI, 29, returns to the boxing ring tonight against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40, on DAZN PPV.
    And he does so amid the sensational rise of his drinks company Prime, launched with old rival and now business partner Logan Paul, 28.
    KSI also continues to upload videos to his own YouTube channels all while running his newly-founded promotional company Misfits Boxing.
    But still the internet sensation somehow finds time to attend to all his various ventures – unlike others in the business.
    He said: “It’s all based on yourself, if you want to put more work in, if you want to put more drive into something, you can do it. 
    “After training, I find some time to show, eat, and then I make a video.
    “Then I play games and I’ll make another video if I really want to, or I’ll see what my schedule is saying.

    “I make time for everything, there’s what 24 hours in a day and you’re sleeping for what, eight hours of it? That’s 16 hours to do a lot. 
    “I’m training for about three hours, that’s stil 13 hours to do stuff. Are you telling me there’s no time to do anything else? 
    “I feel like, I’ve said it before there’s certain influencers, especially in the boxing scene that are being lazy, simple as that. 
    “They’re taking money and just being happy with that, I’m just thee trying to be the blueprint of you can be more and get more because of it.” 
    KSI knocked out gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, in January and his post-fight interview was gatecrashed by Fournier, 40, who demanded he be next.
    So he accepted the challenge and faces the biggest test in his boxing career against an opponent with prior professional experience.
    KSI said: “He wanted it the most. He’s a pro boxer, 9-0 and I thought, ‘Yeah, screw it, why not?’
    “Even after I knocked out Temperrr, he was there, in the ring, constantly getting in my face like, ‘I want this fight.’

    “He wanted to fight me, I had options but he wanted it the most so I was like, ‘Cool, let’s go, I love the challenge.’
    “So let’s see what he can do.”
