      The video has been taken down and KSI issued an apology for an offence he may have caused.
      He posted a statement on Twitter which read: “I wanna apologise for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video.
      “There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry.
      “I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human. I’m not perfect, I’m gonna mess up in life, and lately I’ve been messing up a lot.

      “So I’ve decided I’m gonna just take a break from social media for a while.”
      Fans criticised the 29-year-old despite his apology, claiming he should have known better.
      One wrote: “Been a KSI fan for the longest but so weird for him to say ‘p***’ in the latest Sidemen vid even if they bleeped it & it was ‘in jest’ for content.”
      Another added: “Other racial slurs wouldn’t be used as punchlines for YouTube gameshows. Just makes light of the word + certain people’s experience.”

      Paul’s brother Jake was recently on the receiving end of a defeat by Tommy Fury, but Logan now wants to get revenge by taking on boxing champ Tyson.
      However, rather than in a boxing ring, Paul wants to face Fury in the Octagon.
      Speaking to BT Sport, he said: “You know what I would do because I saw Tyson talking s***?
      “I would fight Tyson in a MMA fight.

      “I really would, I don’t really care how big he is if you have not wrestled or done any ground work I don’t care how big you are, you better land the first two punches that you throw and they better knock me out.
      “Otherwise I’m taking you to the ground, I’m taking your back and I’m choking you out.”
      Fury himself has teased switching into the MMA.
      The 34-year-old trained with Darren Till during the build-up to his rematch with Deontay Wilder, while he also told Francis Ngannou he would box him in 4oz MMA gloves inside of a cage.

      Paul’s one and only pro boxing fight resulted in defeat to KSI – now his business partner for their PRIME drink – who made a special appearance at Wrestlemania.
      The Brit was wearing a PRIME outfit, and attempted to help Paul complete a Frogsplash on Rollins, before he was dragged onto the table for Paul to smash into instead.
      Paul also competed in an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather, which Money convincingly won.
      However, this did not stop Paul from declaring he would “knock out” Fury after his brother defeated Tommy, though Jake beating the ex-Love Island star never came to pass.
      The Gypsy King has not been a silent party against Paul either.
      Speaking weeks after Tommy beat Jake, he said: “Logan Paul, you little b****.
      “It seems that my little brother beat your little brother and now you’re both a pair of losers. All the Paul family suck.”
      It comes after talks for Fury’s heavyweight unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk fell through, despite Usyk agreeing to a 70-30 split.
      However, Anthony Joshua now seems to have Fury in his sights once again following his unanimous points win over Jermaine Franklin.
      AJ, 33, said: “Save all that s***. If we’ll f***ing fight, let’s go.
      “Shut the f*** up and that’s just how I feel because I got to save my energy for the fight.

      “I’ll be real, I’ll be real. I respect the man. He’s achieved a lot.
      “I just feel I don’t need to trash talk, verbally trash talk someone to make myself feel better.” More

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR ramped up his feud by Carl Froch after saying he would “slaughter” him and George Groves in the cage. The pair have rowed in the past but Froch took it one step further when he claimed he had the beating of the ex-UFC champion in the cage.

      He said on his YouTube channel: “I’d fight Conor McGregor in the cage.
      “I could be getting myself in trouble here or into a position I can’t wiggle out of, but I think I’d take him on in the cage. He’s too small.”
      McGregor hit back with a laughing face and tweeted promoter Eddie Hearn: “Get this signed up lad.”
      The Irishman then menacingly followed it up days later by adding: “I’ll slaughter Froch and Grove at the same time in the cage.”

      McGregor, 34, has boxed professionally just once before, losing to American legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, in 2017.

      Froch – who retired from boxing in 2014 after knocking out Groves – insisted it would be a mismatch if the two were to fight in the ring.
      He told Boxing UK: “He’s not a boxer, he doesn’t want to fight me, he’d get absolutely f***** up, but he might do the same to me in the cage and that is why we are both champion in our own right.
      “He knows, if he wants a roll around, he knows where to come, but he ain’t going to want this smoke.”

      by

      The YouTuber-turned boxer will head up a new “super-fight” series, away from the PFL’s usual regular season. 
      That consists of qualifying and knockout stages, where points are earned per method of victory in the opening two bouts.
      The top four in each weight then progress into the victory-or-go-home stage.
      It sets up a winner-take-all finale fight where a title belt and $1million cash prize lays in wait.

      Britain’s Loughnane went all the way last year and returns this season defending his featherweight crown and eyeing another cash prize. 
      And he has the backing of Paul, after the pair exchanged DMs on social media. 
      Loughnane told ESPN: “I like Jake. Me and Jake have been conversating since he took PFL stakes.
      “He must have realised who I was then. He added me on Instagram, we’ve been talking back and forth.

      “Jake’s a cool guy. I’m glad he’s bringing more eyes to the PFL. Keep them all coming.”
      Loughnane, 33, kicks off his 2023 campaign on Saturday in Las Vegas against ex-UFC title challenger Marlos Moraes, 34. 
      Meanwhile Paul, 26, is coming off his first career loss following a split-decision defeat to Tommy Fury, 23, in Febuary. 
      The pair look set to rematch following the success of their pay-per-view blockbuster in Saudi Arabia. 
      And it could further backdate Paul’s impending debut in the PFL cage but Loughnane wants to see him face Nate Diaz, 37, in a two-fight deal. 
      He said: “Here’s what I want. I want them to fight in boxing, and then I want them to rematch in PFL. Exciting times. Let’s put it that way.”

      Who owns Misfits boxing?
      Misfits boxing was set up by Kalle and Nisse Sauerland, KSI and Mams Taylor.
      Kalle and Nisse Sauerland also run their own promotion company Wasserman Boxing and were born into the industry with their father also being a promoter.
      KSI, a popular YouTuber and singer, was a big part of the idea to create the platform and what it should promote.
      Mams Taylor is a singer/songwriter who also owns the organisation that manages KSI.
      READ MORE ON MISFITS
      Misfits boxing signed a deal with DAZN to broadcast their live events.
      What is Misfits boxing?
      Misfits boxing is a crossover sport that allows people from varying disciplines to battle it out in the ring.
      The invention of the sport was spurred by events such as when Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
      The popularity of both celebrities in their own sports spurred huge interest in the much-anticipated bout.
      Most read in Boxing
      It ended up being one of the most lucrative sports events in history.
      When Misfits was created it was underlined that this platform was not to arrange fights between non-boxers and ex-champions, such as Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather, as it was felt that these exhibition events were so obviously fake.
      Kalle Sauerland told TalkSport “The idea is not to make KSI, or whoever is in this stable, fight against Floyd Mayweather or [former world champion] Carl Froch or all these fights which are so clearly fakes.
      “They’re fakes. I haven’t even watched the [Mayweather vs Logan] fight – not interested.
      “But if a young man or woman is prepared to go through the grit and mill to become a professional boxer – and at the same time that brings eyeballs to our sport because they happen to have a profile – it doesn’t matter to me if he’s a milkman or a YouTuber with 30 million subscribers, that is something that we do.”
      Who are Co-founders of Misfits boxing, Kalle and Nisse Sauerland?
      Kalle Sauerland
      The son of a champion boxer, Wilfried Sauerland, Kalle was born in Germany and then moved to North London.
      Kalle Sauerland is the founder of Sauerland Events and is one of the most successful promoters in world boxing, now splitting his time between Hamburg and London.
      He has tried to create the World Boxing Super Series that is to the sport what the World Cup is to football.
      The $50million event sees sixteen boxers from two weight divisions compete for the Muhammad Ali Trophy and a share of the purse.
      Some of the fighters he has promoted are names such as George Groves, Dereck Chisora, Anthony Agogo and David Price.
      Nisse Sauerland
      Nisse Sauerland is the more reserved of the two brothers, compared to his more outspoken brother.
      He has quite a varied career to date ranging from working at Babestation to his current boxing promotion.
      To date, he has been promoted in excess of sixty events in the sport.
