    It was a star-studded crowd at Wembley Arena, with TV stars like Katie Price in attendance.
    Willoughby was one of the lucky few ringside at the fight, getting up close and personal to the action.
    And it even inspired the 41-year-old to name friend and Spice Girl member Bunton, 46, as her dream opponent.
    Willoughby told DAZN: “Do you know what? I know one of my very good friends, who is normally on stage in here – Spice Girl Emma Bunton – is watching this at home with her son Beau.

    “So I’m calling her out you, Emma Bunton.”
    The light-hearted callout drew a major reaction from the crowd.
    Fans were eagerly awaiting their hero KSI, who was moments away from fighting Temperr, 29.
    And he did not disappoint as a two-punch combination closed the show in round one.

    KSI, 29, roared: “I said I wanted to KO, I said I wanted round one. People need to understand the levels.”

    “That’s the end-game ladies and gentlemen, I said I wanted him at the end of the year and I will get him, trust.”

    And it was gamer Temperr, 29, in the opposite corner after 2-0 MMA fighter Dillon Danis, 29, pulled out with just weeks to go.
    But KSI, 29, proved it mattered little who he was in the ring with as a left hook and right hand combination closed the show in round one.
    He said: “I said I wanted to KO, I said I wanted round one. People need to understand the levels.”
    The Londoner has talked up a summer bout and was confronted by millionaire businessman-turned boxer Joe Fournier.

    Fournier, 39, is 9-0 as a boxer and KSI is ready to return against him before finishing his boxing career in an end of year blockbuster with Paul.
    He said: “I need to be tested. I need more tests until I reach the final hurdle, Jake motherf****** Paul.
    “That’s the end game ladies and gentlemen, I said I wanted him at the end of the year and I will get him, trust.
    “But, before I get to that, Joe Fournier, Woodley, Slim, whoever it is, I’m going to destroy them.”

    KSI came out of the traps early, chasing Temperrr across the ring with pure aggression.
    He was met with some sharp counter left hands from Temperr, who was using the most of his awkward southpaw stance.
    It led KSI to regroup and regain a bounce in his step and before Temperr knew it, a quick combination left him out for the count.
    KSI leaped in with a left hook and right hand, which was enough settle it all.
    The crowd erupted as KSI got another win under his belt and moved a step closer to settling the score with his arch enemy.

    The Filipino landed a perfectly timed left hook on Brueckner’s chin, leaving the American unable to beat the count.
    Papi, who brutally knocked out Andy Warski in August, moved to 3-0 as a crossover boxer.
    And he called out Jake – the most successful celebrity fighter at 6-0 – if KSI does not.
    Papi, 28, said: “If KSI doesn’t want to fight Jake Paul, send me to Jake Paul and I’ll fight him.”

    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.”
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    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.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    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.
