Your support makes all the difference.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.

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."
