Your support makes all the difference.Deontay Wilder has predicted who will win the highly anticipated rematch between KSI and Logan Paul.
The two YouTube sensations meet in the ring in less than two months for the first time as professionals, having fought to a majority draw last year.
The WBC heavyweight champion is currently in training camp for a rematch of his own against Luis Ortiz, although the bout has yet to be formally announced it’s likely to fall in late November.
Victory for Wilder will see his rematch with Fury confirmed.
The unbeaten Alabama native has already signed and agreed a deal to fight Fury on 22 February next year.
“I have no idea, I didn’t even see the fight,” Wilder told KSI’s trainer Viddal Riley when asked who would win between the YouTubers making their professional boxing debuts.
“I can’t really give a strong assessment on it but I did hear about it though and it was fascinating to see it promoted and get a lot of fans behind it.
“To be able to do that was very impressive. How did it go last time?
“He a champion [KSI]? Then I’m going with the champion.”
The fight between KSI and Paul is widely expected to be DAZN‘s most watched fight to date, which could lead to similar high profile events on the streaming service.
