CINCINNATI, OHIO: British celebrity KSI was recently challenged to a fight by YouTuber IShowSpeed.
In a tweet gaining significant attention from fans eager to see them in a sparring battle, KSI mocked the content creator on X (formerly Twitter).
As a professional boxer for some time now, KSI faced Tommy Fury in a recent match that ended in a loss. Subsequently, the Sidemen member appealed the judgment.
Supporters are now eagerly awaiting the decision from the Professional Boxing Association, anticipated to come any day.
IShowSpeed challenges KSI to a fight
After developing a rivalry with IShowSpeed over the previous two Sidemen Charity games, KSI has worked with the streamer on several occasions.
However, KSI has now received a provocative challenge from IShowSpeed to a "sparring match" in an X post.
IShowSpeed tweeted, "@KSI bro it's that time I've been waiting to kick your a** for a long time when is the sparring match stop ignoring me and stop being scared drop a date now b***h".
As previously said, IShowSpeed and KSI are well acquainted with one another, having worked together on several occasions.
IShowSpeed has made several calls to KSI during his livestreams, and he even disclosed his phone number just a few days prior to his scheduled bout with Joe Fournier.
The two video makers have long been teasing and making fun of one another, and during the Sidemen Charity Match last year, they even became somewhat rivals.
The referee's first whistle was blown, and the two got into a good number of fights on the field.
