KSI and Logan Paul came face to face for the first time since fighting in August last year.

In the first bout, records were broken as the pair of YouTubers - and at the time, amateur boxers, fought to a majority draw in what was dubbed the “Biggest Internet Event in History”.

Both men said they were disappointed in the trash talking the other had to offer, but ultimately what will matter is what happens in the ring on 9 November. Recap on the press conference below.

Jake Paul really wants to be on the undercard of this fight.

The younger brother of Logan beat KSI's younger brother Deji last time out, and has turned professional too but hasn't been included on the event as yet.

He made a video directed straight at Eddie Hearn.

Tevin Farmer is on punditry for DAZN and says that it's a "big, big fight", and that if Logan can get his jab going then his size will help him to control things.

As expected, the fan base attending the press conference is quite young.

Adam Hamdani14 September 2019 21:07

KSI is just to the left of the stage, not long until he walks onto it and things get underway. Stay tuned!
