    And he makes up for lost time by facing TWO opponents in one night.
    KSI starts the night facing rapper Swarmz and ends it against 2-5 Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
    At the weigh in yesterday the Londoner clashed with old rival Weller who he beat in a 2018 white collar bout.
    But the bad blood has continued to grow since KSI’s third-round win in Manchester.

    Weller offered to fight the social media star-turned musician and boxer on the streets.
    But KSI fancies settling the score in the ring, after fighting his first two opponents.
    He told DAZN: “I’d actually have him for the third fight, why not?
    “Why not? After I knock out Pineda and Swarmz I’ll fight him as well. Literally in the ring, I’ll be like, ‘Alright, get your gloves on. Let’s go’.”

    KSI, 29, beat Weller, 26, in his first ever boxing match, and then drew against Logan Paul, 27, in the same year.
    He then beat Paul in their rematch a year later after the pair turned professional.
    KSI now returns against Swarmz, 25, and Pineda, 23, after Alex Wassabi, 32, pulled out amid a concussion scare.

    KSI wins TWO fights on same night after KOing pro-boxer Pineda and rapper Swarmz with YouTuber battering both opponents

    YOUTUBE boxing star KSI gave fans two wins for the price of one on his return to the ring. The influencer-turned musician and fighter made up for lost time after three years out by facing TWO opponents in one night.

    Firstly, he beat rapper Swarmz in two rounds and then later Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda in three.
    It meant he extraordinarily won twice in the space of a few hours.
    He said: “Ladies and gentleman, are you not entertained?
    “It’s good to be back, two fights in one night, two KOs, yeah buddy. I said it. I talk the talk and I walk the walk.”

    KSI, 29, dropped Pineda, 23, in every round while the journeyman bizarrely complained about non-existent punches to the back of the head.
    In the final round, he dropped Pineda with a right hand and then later an uppercut – by which point the ref had seen enough.
    Earlier on in the night, he dispatched of Swarmz in equally as easy and uncompetitive fashion.
    But the recording artist did go out swinging – quite literally – throwing wild haymaker right hands from all sorts of angles.

    Swarmz, 25, did only have a fortnight to prepare for the bout, while also needing to lose almost two stone after replacing Alex Wassabi, 31.
    And his inexperience showed, having been left off balance, spinning around in a fashion which drew parallels to a teacup ride.
    Somehow, by virtue of running around the ring, three minutes proved enough time for Swarmz to survive despite being floored.
    But KSI wasted no time in putting Swarmz out of his misery in round two after a body shot and left hook signalled the end of the fight.
    KSI plans to return in January and called out Tommy Fury, 23, Andrew Tate, 35, Austin McBroom, 30, and Sulieman “Slim” Albaher, 26.

    KSI made a victorious return to the ring at the O2 Arena with TWO knockout wins over Swarmz and Luis Pineda. The YouTube star kicked the night off with a second-round KO win over rapper Swarmz before beating Pineda in the main event via third-round stoppage.
    And in between both fights, KSI’s brother Deji picked up his first win as a boxer, beating Fousey in the third round.

    Well, Slim absolutely blew this one out of the water.
    It turns out Eminem isn’t the only Slim who knows his tunes, as the USA fighter rocked out to A Million Miles by Vanessa Carlton.
    As soon as the crowd heard that little piano intro, they were excited to see what Slim had to bring to the stage.
    It got even better when we realised it was a mashup with September, by Earth, Wind and Fire.
    He lived up to his soundtrack with his performance too, as he got the knockout of the night against Faze Temper.
    “Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I’m homebound…”
    KSI is hungry.
    The British boxer, rapper, YouTuber, and entrepreneur claimed that his boxing career was far from over tonight.
    He named a list of potential next fights, and stated that we will see him fight again in January, but not against Jake Paul, who many were expecting.

    Fight farce
    Mexican Pineda is a professional in the boxing ranks with two wins from seven bouts to his name.
    But he looked skinny, weak and spent his whole night complaining.
    In truth, the Mexican would have been better off paired up against KSI’s first opponent Swarmz, who he also embarrassed.
    Pineda, 23, was scared to throw a punch and seemed to hit the deck every time KSI landed.
    The Mexican boxer also complained he was being hit in the back of the head on multiple occasions.
    Fight of the night.
    There were some brilliant fights on tonight, in what was an evening packed full of big punches, great music and tough brawls.
    Salt Papi knocked out Andy Warski within 30 seconds, which lead to Logan Paul recommending that the TikTok superstar fights his brother Jake for his next test.
    King Kenny vs Sensei was labelled a farce by many fans, as Sensei appeared to dominate the fight, before King Kenny was awarded the win via the judges decision.
    Deen the Great also put on a show in the second fight of the night, as he showed excellent boxing ability before face-planting a back flip in celebration.
    But ultimately, the fight of the night has to go to Deji vs Fousey.
    Deji went into the fight as a bit of an underdog, after the crowd saw how Fousey had shedded a lot of body fat in preparation for the big night.
    But with the crowd behind him, we saw a different side to Deji, one that was cool, calm and collected, with a deadly left hand that dominated Fousey throughout the fight.
    It was great to see Deji finally get a win, and therefore that, was the fight of the night.

    Knockout of the night.
    Knockout of the night from SunSport has to go to Slim, for the clean right-handed knockout on Faze Temper.
    There were some other greats in there, such as Deji on Fousey, but this right hook was something really special.

    KSI announces next fight date.
    Well, after he gave a list of potential next fights, including Andrew Tate and Tommy Fury, KSI also announced that his next fight will be in January.
    He explained his reasoning for not calling out Jake Paul just yet too, stating that there are many fights that need to happen before that one does.
    The Brit clearly feels that the Jake Paul fight will happen, but, it is about timing for him.
    KSI embraces his inner AJ
    He came out dressed in all white, and made his opponent wait just like AJ often does.
    Not only that, but he went on to use AJ’s quote in his post match interview…

    KSI calls out FIVE fighters.
    KSI just called out Andrew Tate, the winner of Gib vs McBroom, Slim and Tommy Fury.

    Wow, so confident from the man who has conquered almost all avenues in his life.
    KSI spoke before the main event vs Pineda, as he expressed how proud he was of his brother, but also how great Slim was in the co-main event.
    Oh, and he had this to say on the main event:
    It’s time to end this, with another KO baby, Let’s go!”KSIBefore the main event
    Logan Paul hypes up the big one.

    We have the main event up next.
    It is KSI vs Pineda!
    Can the Olatunji brothers make it 3/3 wins on the night?

    Wow! Slim puts Temper down and out!

    There was a HUGE right hand from the hit man, who watched Temper bounce off the canvas.

    KSI vs Swarmz: Latest YouTube fight that’s surrounded in controversy with two bouts in one night and ‘neo-Nazi’ tattoo

    KSI returns to the ring tonight in a bid to prove he’s the ruler in the YouTube boxing space – but the event has not been without its twists and turns. The British social media, rap and prizefighting star faces TWO opponents on the night of his comeback, this Saturday.
    KSI ahead of his boxing comebackCredit: Rex
    KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – last boxed in November 2019 against Logan Paul.
    They had drawn in a white collar bout a year earlier and then raised eyebrows when Eddie Hearn turned them professional for their rematch.
    KSI, 28, ran out a winner by scrappy split-decision after Paul, 27, hit him on the deck and got a two point dedication.
    A lot has happened since then, for example KSI and Paul are now friends and even own an energy drink together called Prime.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    And KSI took a break from boxing to focus on music, releasing two albums and headlining at Wembley.
    This is all while Paul’s brother Jake went 5-0 as a boxer and emerged as the most accomplished celebrity fighter.
    It also provided KSI’s main motivation for returning to boxing, eyeing a grudge match with his American nemesis.
    He told talkSPORT: “Jake Paul – that’s the main goal, that’s the only reason I came back.”
    Most read in Boxing
    FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS – BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS
    KSI’s plan appears simple; return to boxing after three years out, brush off some cobwebs and return for a mega-fight with Jake.
    And he was not short of rivals offering their services to welcome KSI back to the squared circle.
    But, after such a long period out, and a blockbuster bout with Jake on the cards, picking his return fight was a delicate operation.
    Initially, KSI was matched with Alex Wassabi, a bout which had legs and made sense.
    Wassabi had beaten KSI’s brother Deji in March and he’s advised by Jake, creating a sellable narrative.
    But disaster struck just weeks out from the DAZN pay-per-view as Wassabi withdrew, leaving KSI without an opponent.
    What followed was an online back-and-forth between KSI and Jake, who had offered to step in on late notice.

    Several insults later and KSI appeared to snub the deal and claimed he would fight his arch rival next year at Wembley.
    The Brit then announced rapper Swarmz – who in 2020 he collaborated on a song with – would be his shock replacement opponent.
    That was baring in mind Swarmz – real name Brandon Scott – has never laced up a pair of gloves.
    Although he did once say on Instagram: “I’m going to smoke this guy – watch, I’m a mad man.”
    Despite Swarmz’s promise, the backlash from fans was so intense KSI reacted by organising another opponent to fight on the same night.
    He announced Bulgarian boxer Ivan Nikolov would fight him later on after Swarmz, an unprecedented move to say the least.
    But Nikolov then had to be withdrawn after it emerged he had neo-Nazi tattoos, forcing KSI to even sack his matchmaker.
    Rapper Swarmz will fight KSI
    Luis Alcarez Pineda will be KSI’s second opponent of the night
    He said: “He’s a white supremacist Ivan isn’t my opponent anymore. He has been removed.
    “The matchmaker also got fired for allowing this to happen in the first place. But yes, my new opponent is Luis Alcarez Pineda.”
    So out with Nikolov and in with 2-5 Pineda, a Mexican who was in March beaten on points and made his debut at welterweight.
    But Pineda will have to jump up in weight to fight KSI at 185lb, which is 10lb off the light-heavyweight limit.
    KSI revealed he has spent the last three years training in secret under the guidance of the London Shootfighters team.
    A glimpse at his open workout is evidence that his hand speed, punch technique and footwork has improved.
    And KSI has also vowed to ditch his wild, erratic style for a more reformed and traditional form of boxing.
    Read More on The Sun
    So all that has come before, leading up to his return fight, will be put into practise as KSI offers fans two fights for the price of one.
    And it is the first step in his mission to overthrow Jake Paul at the top of the YouTube boxing hierarchy.

    Jake Paul claims KSI will ‘NEVER’ fight him as he slams YouTube rival for ‘doing fans dirty’ ahead of ring comeback

    JAKE PAUL claims rival KSI will “NEVER” face him inside the boxing ring ahead of the YouTuber’s comeback this weekend.KSI, 29, returns to the squared circle on Saturday for the first time since he outpointed Jake’s brother Logan in November 2019.

    Incredibly, KSI will be fighting twice as he takes on rapper Swarmz before pitting his wits against Mexican professional Luis Alcaraz Pineda three hours later.
    Both contests will be three-round affairs, but that hasn’t impressed YouTuber-turned-Boxer Paul, who boasts a 5-0 record in the paid ranks.

    He blasted on Twitter: “This can’t be real? Each ‘fight’ is 3 rounds? And he gets a 3hr break in between! Hahahahaha.
    “It’s way easier than one 6 round fight. KSI & Minions Boxing doing the fans dirty with this fake s***. Mislead after mislead.”
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    And that sparked a huge Twitter feud, with KSI responding: “Was wondering when you were gonna pipe up. You must be so sad and bored on your a***, having no event happening.
    “Still fighting a pro boxer before you, and you had 3 year head start. Plus how you gonna talk when you ain’t fought 2 people in one night?”
    To which Paul replied: “You are fighting a nice young man from Mexico in a 3 round exhibition. Be real. No such thing as a 3 round pro fight.”
    KSI then clapped back by insisting that at least he is fighting in 2022, with Jake inactive since December following his knockout win over Tyron Woodley.

    Paul later messaged: “What you (sic) doing isn’t fighting. It’s an exhibition against a nice young man and your mate you make music with.”
    In a follow-up tweet, Jake then said: “KSI will never fight me. That is obvious and I’m ok with it.
    “He is trying to hype his exhibition fights.”
    Again KSI was quick to comment, as he stated: “When you see me KO both of them, we’ll see if it isn’t ‘fighting’.
    “Jake, I get it, you’re mad rn. You’re afraid that my PPVs are about to sit on everything you’ve done in the past 3 years combined.”
    Despite having not fought since late last year after a spate of late cancellations, Paul has repeatedly been called out, with Claressa Shields and Amandu Nunes up for the task of beating him. More
