    YouTube star Ryan Taylor left with horror swollen eye and beaten by KSI’s ex-opponent Swarmz on MisFits undercard

    YOUTUBE star Ryan Taylor was left with a gruesomely swollen eye – which left him beaten against Swarmz. Swarmz was out for redemption after he took a fight against KSI on two weeks notice in August.

    The rapper, 26, was mocked for his unorthodox and inexperienced style but vowed to prove the doubters wrong.
    And he did so in controversial style as a jab in the first round left Taylor, 29, with swelling so bad the referee deemed him unable to continue.
    Per the rules, as the shot was a punch and not an accidental blow – such as a headbutt or elbow – Swarmz was declared the winner.
    He said: “It was a jab, a touch, we’ll call it a little touch.

    “But you know what? I’ve been working hard for this, everyone saw me get battered against KSI, making fun of me calling me a ballerina.
    “It’s been playing on my mind and I had to get redemption.”
    Swarmz, 26, called out Deji, 26, the brother to KSI, 29, who was sitting ringside, as well as YouTuber King Kenny.
    He said: “Next fight I’m ready. Where’s Deji? Where’s Kenny?”

    Swarmz added: “All the respect. I worked hard, Kenny and Deji, very good. they’re top of the game, good fighters.
    “That’s what I’m trying to do, to prove myself. I do respect them. I can’t wait for it to happen.”
    Swarmz now moves to 1-1 as a crossover boxer following his win on KSI’s undercard.

    Negotiations are underway behind the scenes, but KSI has not been shy of revealing his terms in the open.
    He told talkSPORT: “Ideal scenario is to fight at this weight, 177.5lbs, or I might push it to 180lbs, that’s ideal for me.
    “I want it to be in the UK. In terms of a split, I’ll be fair 50/50, I don’t want to be a d***. I think that’s reasonable.
    “But, I have to be first on the bill, it has to be KSI vs Jake Paul and I walk in last.”

    KSI, 29, returns to the ring tonight at Wembley Arena against gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, and does so at 175lb.
    Paul’s last fight, a win over 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva, was at a career-lowest 187lb.
    So it means he would need to come down in weight to meet KSI, who would be putting size on.
    And while splitting the prize money down the middle seems fair enough, the location of the bout could strike problems.

    There is more money to be made in America, which Paul, 25, is ready to capitalise on unless an agreement is soon struck.
    He tweeted: “I sent KSI and his team a contract over a month ago. I offered to come to the UK, 185 pounds and 10 rounds.
    “I have been at 8 rounds since Askren. He and his team have yet to respond.
    “The offer was / is to come to the UK in December 2023. If he doesn’t respond next week after his show, then it’s going to have to be in the US.”
    Paul has also in the past confirmed he is willing to concede terms as the B-side, allowing KSI to walk in last and be named on the posters first.
    The fierce feud dates back to 2018, when KSI’s brother Deji, 26, was beaten by the American.
    On the same night, KSI also drew with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, but won the rematch a year later when they turned professional.
    The KSI and Logan are now friends and business partners following the successful launch of hydration drink Prime.
    But there is no love lost for Paul, who has since gone 6-0 in the period of KSI’s boxing absence.

    But negotiations appeared to hit a standstill when Paul threatened to move onto other targets.
    A period of silence followed until the YouTube star’s boxing banner Most Valuable Promotions sent out a cryptic clue.
    They posted a video of Paul training with the caption: “Jake Paul coming soon to a PPV near you.”
    Eagle-eyed fans noticed MVP tagged Manchester in the location of the post.

    It comes after Paul offered to travel to Fury’s home of Manchester on February 18 in a bid to get the fight on.
    Another deal was also in place for a week later, February 25, in Saudi Arabia for a considerable amount more money.
    Fury, who is believed to have been offered £2m for the Saudi fight, insisted he wants the bout in England and would do it for FREE.
    He said: “Once again I’m seeing Jake Paul s**t all over the internet. You offered Paddy Pimblett a million pound to spar.

    “You offered Tyson a million-pound bet about some b****cks or other. But you don’t want to pay me much more to have a fight.
    “Well I’ll go one better than that cause it’s gone past money for me now – I’m not bothered.
    “I’ll fight you for free in Manchester or London, next month. Not a problem. So let’s see how game you are.
    “Promoters get nothing whose trying to take everything, me and you get nothing, all proceeds will go to charity.
    “I just want to fight you and put an end to you, because all this money and everything – it’s gone on too long. Take it or leave it.”
    Fury, 23, fuelled further speculation as he posted on Instagram: “Fight news coming very soon.”
    Twice the 2019 Love Islander has pulled out of fighting Paul, 25.
    Firstly was due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then over a US visa issue in August 2022.
    His travel woes rules out a bout in America, leaving Britain and the Middle East as frontrunners to host.

    KSI and Danis shared a pretty heated build-up for their fight, but fans have will now be watching a different six-round clash inside the OVO Arena in Wembley, London.
    Temperrr was last in action on Misfits Boxing 003.
    He won via a first-round knockout and could prove to be stern test for The Nightmare.
    KSI made light work of Swarmz and Luis Pineda in August.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    And he insists his “focus won’t be distracted” by the pre-fight mess involving Danis.
    KSI said: “I mentioned at the Press Conference that Dillon was being haunted by me. He made his excuses and knew he couldn’t handle what I bring to a boxing ring.
    “This answers the question whether he’s a fighter or not.
    “He’s a warrior alright, a keyboard warrior, and hopefully he’s learnt to leave the real men to speak with their actions rather than hollow words.

    “That being said, my focus won’t be distracted from the task at hand and that’s FaZe Temperrr.
    “We’ve come head-to-head plenty of times with the Sidemen and FaZe Clan competing against each other, and it looks like we have another challenge on our hands.
    “Credit to Temperrr for stepping up like a REAL fighter.”
    Temperrr is confident heading into the fight, and says he wants to knock the Sidemen – YouTube group KSI is part of – off top spot.
    He added: “I showed exactly what I can do in my last fight.
    “At any moment in the fight, I can catch my opponent and you can see how they respond when that happens.
    “The Sidemen have been on top for too long, and it’s time for FaZe and I to show them exactly what we’re made of.
    “Sure, KSI is a huge name, but only one man is going to come out of this victorious. I hope he’s as prepared as he says he is, because I’m coming to London to do one thing, and that’s claim a massive win inside that ring.”
    The bookies are heavily in KSI’s favour – they’re backing him to maintain his unbeaten professional record.
    And despite underdog Temperrr having one loss on his record, that came against Slim Albaher, the American holds a significant height and slight reach advantage.
    Temperrr is 6ft4, considerably taller than KSI, and has a one inch reach advantage, which he says allows him to catch his opponent.

    KSI will hold a power and speed advantage over Temperrr, who took the fight on ten days notice.

    And the Brit can take a punch, as he proved against Logan Paul.
