KSI KNOCKS OUT FaZe FaZe Temperrr in the First Round of their Misfits 004 Main Event Clash in London
- last year
KSI continued his undefeated streak in influencer boxing on Saturday with a knockout win over American YouTuber FaZe Temperrr.
Making his second appearance on the Misfits Boxing promotion of which he serves as CEO, KSI headlined the card at the OVO Wembley Arena and delighted fans in attendance in his main event bout.
Initially scheduled to face MMA fighter Dillon Danis, social media star Temperrr was plucked from the undercard on twelve days' notice after the Bellator welterweight dropped out of the bout...In the main event clash the 29-year-old employed the recklessly aggressive style that he has become known for from the outset and it became immediately apparent that Temperrr would be unable to sustain the offensive pressure.
Just over two minutes into the opening round, KSI landed a right-land to-left hook combination on the American southpaw, stepping inside his guard and sending him crashing to the canvas.
Temperrr attempted to return to his feet but the referee waved the fight off after two minutes and nineteen seconds of the first round as KSI secured the second defense of his Misfits cruiserweight belt...Following the bout, KSI stated that a clash with fellow social media star turned boxer Jake Paul is his ultimate goal, but that he would like to face former UFC champion Tyron Woodley or British businessman Joe Fournier in the meantime.
'I said I wanted a KO I said I wanted round 1, and here we are baby. I want you guys to understand the levels, look at what Swarms did to Ryan Taylor, look at what Pineda did to that other guy.
'Ladies and gentlemen I'm on a different level. Joe Fournier, I want a piece of that! Tyron Woodley, I want a piece of that!'
The event also saw music star Tom Zanetti face Slim Albaher in the co-main event, with the YouTuber ultimately emerging victorious on the judges' scorecards after four action-packed rounds.
But perhaps the most impressive performance of the evening came from British-born Filipino Tik Tok star Salt Papi.
Papi, real name Busta Breezie, has earned a huge following on the social media platform for his food-related content but proved that he has some of the most impressive technical boxing skills in the influencer sphere with a KO victory over former MMA fighter Josh Brueckner.
Social media sensation Elle Brook also picked up a solid victory in the event's opening bout, with the OnlyFans star defeating Faith Ordway in a bloody whirlwind of a fight...
