Your support makes all the difference.KSI and Logan Paul will come face to face today for the first time since they fought in front of 18,000 at the Manchester Arena last year.
In the first, the fight broke records and was dubbed the “Biggest Internet Event in History”, but this time the pair turn professional: no headguards, no 16oz gloves.
A UK broadcaster is set to be announced today, as are professional fighters to appear on the undercard and, without doubt, some controversial words will be said and the world will start to talk.
Here’s what you need to know.
What time is the press conference today?
In the UK, the stream will begin from around 9pm, which is 4pm Eastern and 1pm Western in the US.
How can I watch it?
It will be on both KSI and Logan’s respective YouTube channels.
When will the rematch happen?
The bout is set to take place on 9th November, 2019. We’re not too far off then.
Where will the rematch take place?
The fight between the two YouTube sensations will take place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, California. The first went down at the MEN Arena in Manchester, so this time it’s on Logan’s turf and will have that highly sought after US audience.
How can I get tickets?
Demand for the first fight was somewhat unprecedented and sold out the Manchester Arena, so if you like the idea of being around 18,000 screaming kids for hours then you’ll have to act fast. Tickets will be on general sale from Saturday, 14th September with pre-sale already live. You can buy them right here.
Where will I be able to watch the fight?
If you’re not going to the fight itself, you can watch it on DAZN in the United States and from around the world and if you’re in the UK, you’ll have to stay tuned – no announcement has been made on broadcasting rights just yet.
Now KSI is going at Logan's Challenger Games, which infamously didn't have a great crowd.
Logan: "The charity event!? The one for the special Olympics!? You can't sell out 50 person venues! You're a music guy."
KSI: "You look like you run with a dildo up your arse."
This is quality banter, to be fair.
Logan Paul: "No one who watched the first fight can tell me KSI is better. It was my first fight, I got tired. This time, I have Shannon Briggs on my side. Viddal what do you do!? Shut the fuck up.
"We are working hard as fuck to end this guys career."
Logan is trying to get a chant of 'JJ has no dick' going.
JJ replies with 'ask your mum'.
Logan gets his mum onto the mic and asks her, does JJ have a dick? She says 'no'.
Logan Paul: "This will be a first round knockout. You don't stand a chance. After November 9, your life will be miserable."
KSI: "I'm going to go in and knock him out. That's what I'm going to do."
Logan responds mockingly with an English accent. Quite a good one to be fair.
Eddie Hearn is bringing the talking to a close, and will get them both in for a head to head.
A little bit of pushing and shoving, Logan pulls KSI's sunglasses off and the pair carry on the trash talking.
I think Eddie Hearn will be quite shocked after this. He has seen plenty of head to heads, but this has been different to anything he will have seen before.
Speaking to DAZN after the press conference, Logan is not happy.
"What the fuck was that? Look at his body language, demeanor, he is defeated already. My fans are amazing, I love them. Manchester was tough for me. I'm training serious as a heart attack. Four hours a day, six days a week."
