KSI vs Logan Paul London press conference

KSI has been given a helping hand in training by none other than bantamweight superstar Nonito Donaire.

The British YouTuber-turned-professional boxer is in the tick of a training camp for his upcoming rematch against Logan Paul, and recently flew out to Las Vegas.

KSI and Paul fought to a majority draw first time around more than a year ago – but were both amateurs and have now turned to the pro ranks to settle the score once and for all.

The likes of WBO super-middleweight world champion Billy Joe Saunders and lightweight talent Devin Haney will box on the undercard.

And on his first day of camp in North America, KSI was given a helping hand by a surprising figure.

“He just came through and told me some gems,” KSI told The Mayweather Channel.

“This is why I love coming to places like this, there’s nothing like it.

“You have world champions coming through and telling you to do this, do that. It just increases your boxing IQ and makes you a better boxer.

“One small thing has improved my boxing IQ tremendously.”

Donaire is training for a big fight of his own in November, when he takes on arguably pound-for-pound King Naoya Inoue in the bantamweight World Boxing Super Series, with the winner set to walk away as undoubtedly the best of the division, and with the WBA (Super), IBF and The Ring belts to go along with it.
