KSI 'respects' Logan Paul following victory in YouTuber boxing match in LA

British YouTube star KSI won his highly anticipated boxing rematch against US rival Logan Paul on Saturday night.

In a wild fight, both men were knocked to the canvas at different points in a professional bout that went the six-round distance in Los Angeles.

Two judges scored the fight 57-54 and 56-55 fight in favour of KSI, while one scored it 56-55 in favour of the American, who was deducted two points in a controversial fourth round for holding and hitting.

“I’m a dog. He hit me hard [in the fourth]. But he hit me in the back of the head. It is what it is,” KSI said after his victory, which gives him a professional boxing record of 1-0.

“Your boy is happy and your boy is victorious. Happy days. It took me a minute to collect myself but I came back at it and kept going. That’s boxing. I don’t want people to think I’m weak. I’m a fighter. I keep going. And that’s it.

“I’ve never worked so hard. In the ring and in camp. I kept going and I was ready, I was on fire. He couldn’t deal with my jab. He kept moving but I got him.”

The two men were fighting one another in a rematch after their amateur bout at the Manchester Arena in 2018 ended in a controversial majority decision draw.
