Two of the most popular YouTubers, KSI and IShowSpeed, recently engaged in a boxing match. The two YouTubers had been going back and forth online with Speed, challenging KSI to a boxing match.

IShowSpeed and KSI started exchanging a lot of online banter about who would win in a boxing match. After KSI finally accepted the challenge, they decided to fight it out in a private ring on the day Jake Paul had his pro boxing match. After the match where KSI dominated the ring, he posted a Tweet in which he shared his experience of the match. In the tweet, he reposted a fan tweet about the match and stated, “Can’t lie, I’m proud of speed. He got HEART!”

 

It was clear from the start that KSI would win, considering his experience in the ring. While many fans supported Speed for his charisma, he was dominated by KSI from the first round itself.

Speed lost his energy after being hit in the torso by KSI in the first round. After that, it was clear that Speed lacked the experience needed to beat a pro boxer. By the end of the match, Speed was caught crying and demanding the match continue after KSI did a sympathy tap-out.
