    KSI makes insane £1MILLION bet with Deji on Sidemen podcast as brothers shake on it in front of Eddie Hearn

    KSI made an insane £1MILLION bet with his brother Deji in front of boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. Hearn joined KSI and Deji on the Sidemen podcast and the pair of YouTubers-turned boxers debated their physiques.
    KSI made a £1m bet with his brother Deji in front of boxing promoter Eddie Hearn
    KSI – who has been critical of his younger brother’s dedication to boxing before – then laid out a huge wager.
    He offered to pay Deji £1m if he can get abs in one year’s time.
    KSI, 30, said: “I will give you £1million to have abs by the end of next year.”
    Deji, 26, then walked over to KSI to shake hands on the bet as Hearn asked whether it was an eight or six pack needed to win the bet.

    KSI said: “We’ll give… nah six. I have to be able to see it. And like you can post it online, then everyone’s like, ‘Yes, he has abs.'”
    Hearn, who has been on his own weight loss journey, chimed in: “But Deji, it can’t be like in the right light!”
    The promoter worked with KSI for the celebrity’s 2019 professional boxing debut against Logan Paul.
    They had drawn a year prior but KSI walked away with a split-decision victory in the rematch.

    The two are now friends and business parters following the success of their drinks company Prime.
    And they shared the same boxing card in October, with Paul, 28, beating jujitsu champion Dillon Danis, 30, who got disqualified.
    But KSI was on the end of a controversial loss to Tommy Fury, 24, who also beat Paul’s brother Jake, 26, in February.
    He is set to appeal the defeat and even Hearn on fight night believed he should have won.
    Hearn said: “No, he [Fury] had a point deducted. KSI won the fight.”

    One fan said “Back to the old YT boxing days, let’s go!”
    This could be one for the ages…
    Joe Weller called out Behzinga
    Joe Weller had some choice words for Sidemen star Behzinga before the main event kicked off.
    He said he wants to bring back YouTube boxing, and wants to fight the dad of one at Wembley Arena.
    KSI is backing it too!

    Room for improvement
    It wasn’t such a great night for TikTok sensation Simple Simon, who was knocked out by comedian Dapper Laughs within the first round after two quick knockdowns.
    Dapper Laughs however, he will be looking for another opponent, he will want to move up the ranks here and onto a main card before long.
    Fight of the night
    Fight of the night has got to go to the finale, Jarvis vs BDave.
    It was a spectacular fight, which saw Jarvis knock down his opponent within the first TEN seconds of the bout.
    BDave however, did really well to come back from that and put on a good showing to see the fight out, and attack Jarvis himself.
    It wasn’t quite enough however, as Jarvis walked away with the belt before calling out Alex Wassabi and Nichlmao.

    Jarvis speaks out after his win
    “I wanted to give the best fight I could and I did that”
    “The adrenaline, I couldn’t feel it, he has probably got the hardest head I have ever hit.”
    “Nichlmao, Alex Wassabi, if you’re watching let’s get it!”
    Jarvis beats BDave by unanimous decision!
    All three judges scored the bout 54-50 in favour of Jarvis!
    BDave did really well regardless, and can be proud of that performance despite the loss.
    Who is next for Jarvis?
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 5
    Into the final round now, as we get close to crowning a champion!
    Both guys cardio is holding up nicely.
    BDave has done incredibly well to recover from that first round knock down.
    It goes the distance, surprisingly, and both fighters will be extremely proud of that performance.
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 4
    A huge right hand from BDave in round four, and Jarvis is forced to fight here!
    Jarvis has definitely managed the fight better than BDave, but the latter brings the entertainment factor without a doubt!
    Jarvis hasn’t stung BDave as much lately as the fight progresses.
    He does get a nice combination done though as the end!
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 3
    This one is shaping up really nicely, I’m not sure BDave won that last round, but he definitely earned the respect of Jarvis there.
    There is blood coming out of the nose of BDave, who is showing the heart of a warrior, and he comes in with a big shot too!
    A fairly even third round there, a tough one to call.
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 2
    What a first round, and we are into the second now.
    I don’t see this one going the distance that is for sure.
    BDave looks as though he might be making his way back into the fight, but then Jarvis opens up the hands and responds really well.
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 1
    5x three minute rounds, the main event, HERE WE GO!
    BDave is knocked down STRAIGHT AWAY!
    Within 10 seconds!
    This is not looking good for BDave at all…
    Jarvis lands another good right hand, and another.
    Credit to BDave for staying competitive here.
    And now Jarvis…
    He comes out to Kung-Fu Fighting!
    Another tune, fair play.
    He has apparently been sparring Floyd Mayweather, so it is time to see what he has learned.
    Here comes BDave
    Sweet Caroline is his walkout song, great choice, a classic.
    He predicted a three round knockout, so let’s see what he has got in the locker.
    SWEEEET CAROLINE –
    I’ll let you finish the rest at home…
    Joe Weller calls out Behzinga
    Joe Weller is in the ring with Olivia Buzaglo, and he is calling out Behzinga!
    “Has anyone seen Behzinga?”
    “Behzinga lets make this happen, Wembley Arena!”
    The main event is NEXT
    BDave against Jarvis.
    This is the big one coming up next.
    “I’m gonna knock him out in three rounds.” Says BDave.
    Jully Poca beats Alaena Vampira by unanimous decision
    It’s a deserved victory for Jully Poca over Alaena Vampira, she dominated that fight.
    Full credit to Alaena, who would make a great opponent for Elle Brooke.
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 5
    Poca looks a little uneasy at the start of this one, and Vampira is going for it in the last round.
    Vampira needs to go for the knockout here if she stands a chance of winning it.
    Poca is on her bike with 25 seconds to go.
    And it is all over!
    It will go to the judges…
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 4
    Alaena Vampira has come out fighting in the fourth round, and is gaining some confidence here!
    Poca is just coming back with flurries when she gets within range, but that round might well be the first that Vampira has won.
    Vampira is giving everything, but it looks like Jully Poca has got the power, and the win.
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 3
    Jully is an absolute weapon when she lets her hands go, and she does so here, such power in those arms.
    Vampira is showing that she can box, despite being 2-0 down so far.
    Vampira has blood pouring out of her nose now, but she doesn’t care.
    A great combo from Poca in that round, but Vampira is NOT giving up!
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 2
    A great round for Poca in the second, and Vampira is likely going to need to come back from this.
    They are shorter two minute rounds for women.
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 1
    These two are at it from the get go!
    A really fast start from Jully Poca, and Vampira may not have been expecting that!
    Here comes Jully Poca!
    Another great walkout, and we are about to get underway!
    Alaena Vampira comes out!
    What an entrance that is!
    Alaena walks out of a coffin like a true vampire, and she looks DANGEROUS.
    Hope Jully has bought her garlic…
    The co main event up next!
    Jully Poca will face off against Alaena Vampira up next

    I quit my job to play Football Manager full time and sit in my room all day – now I make DOUBLE my old salary

    A YOUTUBER who ditched his old job to play Football Manager says he has doubled his salary since making the switch.Tom Kelsey, 26, from Lincoln, sacked off his old job as a business support assistant at Lincolnshire County Council to play the simulation video game full-time.

    The gamer had started a YouTube channel dedicated to the popular game while studying at Nottingham Trent University.
    He now runs operations from his bedroom at his parents’ house.
    “It’s the freedom that I get from it, that’s what I love,” Tom told the BBC.
    Football Manager allows players to take charge of their favourite football team and manage them all the way to glory.

    Since its release, the gaming community has expanded rapidly, with last year’s game played by six million people.
    “As [the channel] got more popular and more people started watching it, you start to earn money from the adverts that you see,” he said.
    “Suddenly this became an idea – that I could do this as a job one day.
    “In terms of the money I make now, it’s double what I was earning in my full-time job before I did YouTube.
    Most read in Football
    “For me to be able to earn that money whilst also being my own boss and having my own choices and not work for someone else is the best part of it.”
    The former council worker earned around £25,000 for his previous position, meaning his new passion project sees him rake in a significantly higher £50,000 annually.
    The savvy YouTuber’s channel boasts nearly 120,000 subscribers and attracts around one million views per month.
    “I can easily spend 50 to 60 hours a week playing Football Manager, which may sound like it would drive some people crazy but it’s a dream for me,” he continued.
    “It’s a very unusual career path when you say you’re going to play video games for my job.
    “It keeps growing year on year, month on month, so I’ll try and do this for as long as I can.”
    Elsewhere, a woman who was bullied over her love for gaming now has turned her passion into a full-time job – earning a staggering £7k a month.
    Natalie Barnes, from Greater Manchester, started her career playing video games for hours from the comfort of her bedroom in Wigan.
    The 20-year-old ditched her law degree at the University of Liverpool after forking thousands each year.

    Inside Jake Paul’s ‘worst’ training camp for Tommy Fury, from struggling to breathe to hurting over Julia Rose split

    JAKE PAUL ignored pleas to pull out of his fight against Tommy Fury after having the “worst” training camp of his life. Paul was beaten via split-decision in the Saudi Arabia grudge match and gave a host of excuses for his loss.

    That included a bizarre WET DREAM the night before the bout while also complaining of an arm injury.
    But trainer Danny Smith – who is now not working with the American – claimed Paul was seriously ill in the build up but refused to withdraw.
    Smith said on the Full Disclosure podcast: “The thing about Jake in that fight is, he had Covid.
    “We maybe sparred maybe four times for the fight. We left our training camp in Puerto Rico, went to Dubai, we ran maybe only three times.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “I mean it was one of those situations where we shouldn’t really have been fighting because of the sickness.
    “And coming down the stretch two weeks before the fight he had hurt his shoulder so we only sparred maybe two times.
    “It was the worst camp we ever had and Jake didn’t want to pull out of this fight because he didn’t know if Tommy would come back and take it.”
    Fury, 24, had twice pulled out of the bout beforehand due to a rib injury and US visa issue.

    So it left Paul refusing to risk another cancellation despite Smith saying he had an EKG – which checks for signs of heart disease.
    The coach continued: “We had to have an EKG because he was having some issues breathing. This was like three weeks before the fight.
    “He went to see a doctor with his dad and we all talked and was like, ‘Hey man, he doesn’t need to be fighting.’
    “We didn’t know what was going on with his heart with the Covid, we don’t know what will happen in the ring, if he’ll get tired we just didn’t know.
    “His dad was in agreeance and when he had the EGK and they said it was OK and he had the clear, we made weight by sitting in the steam room two times a day.”
    Smith also said Paul was suffering from a break up with his influencer ex-girlfriend Julia Rose during preparations to fight Fury.

    He added: “He had just broke up with his girlfriend so he was highly emotional. That was damaging.
    “And I didn’t know how bad it was because Jake’s a pretty private guy and very tough guy, strong mentality and will.
    “He doesn’t share a lot and things that really bother him. But he told me one time, he didn’t look so hot in sparring and he was feeling bad over Julia and things like that.
    “And I was like, ‘Well I understand and I’m glad you’ve told me now but I wish you told me before sparring so we could’ve made adjustments’.”
    Paul, 26, bounced back from defeat to Fury and in August beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over eight rounds.
    And before the comeback victory he went public with new girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, a 24-year-old Dutch speedskater.

    Fury recently told the Daily Mail: “He messaged me the other day and said, ‘Congratulations brother, you know, I could tell there’s something wrong with your hand.’ All this sort of stuff, being extra nice.
    “Trying to get that fight on. At the end of the day, it’s one of them, I think the fight is inevitable.
    “He knows that I’m his biggest draw and for me now sitting at the top I’ve done things that he hasn’t.
    “Him and KSI have been talking about fighting for years, I’ve literally came and inside 12 months beat the pair of them, on their own show.
    “So I don’t know, it is what it is. It’s my choice now, no matter what I’m the head of the crossover thing now.
    “It’s alright me saying it because I’ve beat the two best men in it. So whoever I want to fight next it’s up to me. I can pick and choose these guys.”
