      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.

      Talks were progressing for the pair to meet in an end-of-year blockbuster, with Wembley among the options to host.
      But those plans took a hit when Paul, 26, was beaten by Tommy Fury, 23, in February by split-decision.
      They now look set to rematch in the summer despite KSI’s plea for the American to focus on their grudge match instead.
      KSI, 29, now returns on May 13 against millionaire businessman-turned-9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      And he tweeted: “When I KO Joe Fournier, I will be the pound-for-pound best YouTube boxer. Yes above Jake Paul.”
      It sparked a row between the pair, as Paul responded: “Hahaha. I’m your idol.
      “So when you beat a guy whose last pro fight was over two years ago against a reggaeton singer that had never boxed in his life, you are the pound-for-pound best?!
      “Or is because his fight before that was 6 years ago against a 1-11 “boxer”? Sham.”

      Fournier beat musician Reykon, 36, on Paul’s undercard in April 2021 and last fought before that over six years ago against 1-12 Antonio Sanchez.
      But KSI clapped back: “This is a lot of talk for someone that’s ducking me.”
      Paul then proposed a winner-take-all purse if he is to accept KSI’s demand of a 180lb catchweight bout with a rehydration clause.
      He said: “$30M to the winner, 0 to the loser if you want me to agree to your request of 180 pounds and rehydration clause. Agree to that and I’m in.”
      Paul then added that if the stipulation is not met, he will change the fight weight by 5lb with NO limit to what he can weigh the next day.
      He added: “You want me to come to London and fight at an unnatural weight with a rehydration clause then it’s all or nothing.
      “Or be man take the fight without rehydration clauses. 185. 50/50.”
      Paul challenged Fury to a similar double-or-nothing wager but the Love Islander never signed the official document.
      KSI replied: “Ain’t no way I’m doing this deal cos you still ain’t paid up for your last deal with Tommy Fury after he slapped you up.”
      $30M to the winner, 0 to the loser if you want me to agree to your request of 180 pounds and rehydration clause. Agree to that and I’m in.Jake Paul to KSI
      To which Paul said: “There we go. You, your squirrel and your ‘partners’ don’t have the courage to put it all on the line in a contract and sign. Just like Tommy and his dad didn’t.”
      The bad blood dates back to KSI’s 2019 win over Paul’s brother Logan, 27, following a draw between them the year prior.
      KSI has since had three wins, taking his record to 5-1 in the ring although only his victory over Logan was professionally sanctioned.
      But he told Paul: “I’m the A side so you do what I want. I’m undefeated, you’re not.
      “If I want you to come to London, you come to London. 180 is perfect for you and me. Stop crying and sign.”
      But Paul fired back: “You ain’t s***. You have 1 pro fight, a split decision against my brother.
      “That’s the only ‘fight’ you have ever done that the masses cared about.
      “I agreed to come to London so there is one less excuse for you to not take the fight. All yap and all cap is what you are.”
      KSI finished the argument by laying down the gauntlet one final time in a bid to get the fight on.

      He said: “Unfortunately for you, I’ll never taste defeat in the ring. I’ll never know how you felt after LOSING. Anyway…

      “As soon as people enter the ring with me, they realise they are in hell. And they either leave the ring bruised, battered or sleeping. In the ring, I am an evil man.”
      Fournier added: “This is huge, it’s as big as it gets, it’s on DAZN pay-per-view at Wembley, against one of the biggest global superstars, not just in boxing.
      “But I am going to break a lot of little hearts when they see KSI unconscious on the canvas.
      “This is way too soon to fight me, but the deal is done, and just like Jake Paul, he will find out that when he gets into the ring with a real boxer, it’s a whole different ball game. He is in for a rude awakening.” More

      KSI has had some choice word for Misfits Boxing presenter Wade PlemonsCredit: Getty
      But recently, Plemons uploaded a video to his YouTube channel in which he spoke about a potential KSI vs Jake Paul match-up.
      Plemons stated in the video, titled ‘KSI vs Jake Paul.. Is NOT Happening’, that a fight between Paul and Floyd Mayweather would sell more PPVs.
      He also said that Paul would most likely want to entertain a rematch with Tommy Fury first.
      But the claims have irked KSI.

      What did KSI say about Wade Plemons?
      “Man, f*** Wade,” KSI ranted on Twitter.
      “This Wade guy plays all sides. Trying to please everyone. You are so fake, omg. F* you and everything you stand for, you two-faced c*.
      “This man acts like he knows everything about boxing. He doesn’t know s***. You’re not that guy.”

      “Have fun on KingPyn,” he jokingly remarked in reference to a rival crossover boxing promotion on a Twitter Space.
      “It wasn’t over today he got fired.
      “It’s been long coming. I’ve been nothing but fair with Wade. People can have the wrong impression of me, I don’t care.
      “But they know JJ better than that. Obviously, there is more to it than just today’s video. A lot more.
      “DAZN didn’t know anything about Wade before I insisted he would be brought in.”
      Paul, however, has criticised KSI and Taylor over it, backing Plemons in the process.
      “Such insecure clowns,” Paul said. “Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle.
      “Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Now back to my vacation.” More

      The content creator predicted, with Paul having lost to Tommy Fury, a rematch is likely to follow.
      And he questioned whether that bout, and a fight with Floyd Mayweather, would sell more pay-per-views than the KSI fight.
      It appeared to strike a nerve with KSI, who went on a furious rampage on Twitter.

      Plemons has regularly featured on DAZN covering KSI’s Misfits Boxing events as an interviewer, broadcaster and commentator.
      But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor, who co-owns Misfists, appeared to sack the American live on a Twitter Space.

      Taylor remarked: “Have fun on KingPyn.” In reference to a rival crossover boxing promotion.
      The music mogul confirmed Plemons’ sacking in a statement to Fred Beck , in which he said: “It wasn’t over today he got fired.
      “It’s been long coming. I’ve been nothing but fair with Wade. People can have the wrong impression of me, I don’t care.

      “DAZN didn’t know anything about Wade before I insisted he would be brought in.”
      It did not take long for Paul to interject in the feud – which he is partially involved in – to back Plemons.
      He tweeted: “Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle.

      Plemons said in response: “We don’t see eye to eye on much of anything but I respect and appreciate this. Thanks man.”
      KSI also denied that his anger came from a single video and pointed towards Plemons’ criticism of Misfits’ tag-team boxing match.
      He tweeted: “The initial hatred towards the tag team boxing that he put out publicly but privately loved the idea.
      “He literally just says and does what the public want to hear. While privately trying to please everyone.
      “I’m done with it. Be your true self publicly and privately towards me.”
      But Plemons hit back: “My opinions around the tag team idea was never “Hate” I had concerns over it’s safety and ruleset, and I needed to see it happen.
      “When I saw it I GLADLY found that those precautious were taken. I’m not sure where JJ is getting this but “behind the scenes” I said the same thing.”
      Plemons received public backing from fans, who criticised his dismissal from Misfits events.
      KSI later deleted his rant but followed up with: “To you it’s an overreaction but to me it’s a build up of a lot of things behind the scenes.
      “You can have a public opinion but don’t come to me on a switch up when you see me in person.
      “Sorry for my outburst but I’m human, I’m gonna get angry sometimes.”

      And Plemons replied: “I understand I ruffle some feathers at misfits with my takes on things, but I don’t and have never switched up on you in person or online.
      “My opinions of a potential fight don’t reflect my opinion of you as a person or a fighter. I’ve always respected you as both.”
