Logan Paul vs. KSI 2 fight results, highlights: KSI wins controversial split decision in celebrity bout
The battle to crown the toughest internet personality saw a pair of YouTube sensations enter the ring under professional rules on Saturday as the sport of boxing tentatively held its breath.
With a combined 40 million followers on YouTube and a grudge that dates back to their majority draw amateur bout in 2018, KSI and Logan Paul drew a huge crowd to the Staples Center in Los Angeles and received main event status on DAZN before delivering a surprisingly entertaining affair.
KSI came out the winner in the end by split decision in their six-round cruiserweight bout that was helped by referee Jack Reiss' controversial two-point deduction on Paul for holding and hitting KSI when he was down in Round 4. Two judges scored it 57-54 and 56-55 for KSI while the third had it 56-55 for Paul.
"I've never worked so hard," KSI said. "In the ring, in camp it was tough but I just kept going. I was ready, I was on fire. He couldn't deal with my jabs to the body tonight."
