The most recent major YouTube boxing event took place on Saturday night, and KSI managed to score two knockouts in the length of one evening.
After making his professional debut in 2019 against Logan Paul, the possibly biggest YouTuber in the UK hasn’t entered the ring for a boxing battle in three years.
After tying with the American influencer in an amateur match, KSI won that particular match at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on a split decision.
KSI made the extraordinary decision to face both rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same day after his original battle with Alex Wassabi was postponed.
And so, it turned out to be an emphatic night’s work for KSI, who finished both Swarmz and Pineda at either end of the evening’s card to fulfill his promise of two knockouts.
Swarmz, who was severely criticized after being announced as the YouTuber’s substitute opponent, was easily defeated by KSI over the course of two dominant rounds of competition.
The most remarkable performance of the night came from KSI, who demonstrated that internet celebrities can in fact compete with professional boxers.
In fact, KSI was so dominant in the second battle that he took Pineda out seven times until an uppercut finally put an end to the fight.
