LOS ANGELES: YouTube celebrities Olajide 'KSI' Olatunji and Logan Paul both predicted victory in their bout in Los Angeles this weekend as they appeared at a news conference on Thursday that ended with the fighters shoving each other.
Boxing purists have said the fight is an over-hyped farce. Saturday's undercard features leading professional boxers including Billy Joe Saunders and Devin Haney. Briton KSI, 26, is a rapper and gamer who knocked out YouTuber Joe Weller in February last year. He then called out Logan and his brother Jake."I am a dog, I am a fighter, I always make sure that I defend what is rightfully mine. This is my legacy," KSI told Paul at Thursday's news conference.
Paul, 24, rose to online fame via short comedy videos but last year was embroiled in controversy that looked like it could threaten his career and said he was fighting for"redemption."
