KSI Addresses Allegations of Sabotage in Misfits Boxing Event
The recent fallout between UK YouTuber JJ “KSI” and Adin Ross has sparked controversy in the streaming and influencer boxing communities. Amidst speculation of sabotage in KSI’s Misfits Boxing event, KSI has addressed rumors surrounding Adin Ross allegedly bribing a fighter to withdraw from the main event.
In a recent Sidecast episode, KSI was questioned about the sudden withdrawal of Most Wanted, one of his fighters, on the day of the event. While there have been rumors suggesting that Adin Ross may have bribed Most Wanted to sabotage the fight, KSI expressed skepticism about such claims:
“I’d like to say no.”
Most Wanted’s abrupt withdrawal from the fight moments before it was scheduled to commence prompted discussions within the influencer boxing scene. KSI, along with fellow Sidemen member Ethan “Behzinga,” delved into the topic during the Sidecast episode. Reflecting on the situation, KSI expressed disappointment and questioned Most Wanted’s initial decision to participate in the event:
“Most Wanted…it was literally like a minute before the fight. A minute before the fight, he said, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t fight.’… Why did you say ‘yes’ to fighting in the first place?”
Behzinga raised the possibility of Adin Ross offering financial incentives to Most Wanted to withdraw from the fight and undermine KSI’s main event. However, KS I remained hesitant to attribute malicious intent to Ross, stating that he finds such accusations unlikely:
“I’d like to say no but if I did see him, for example, on an Adin Ross show, then it’s on sight…look, he can do what he wants but I was very disappointed.”
While KSI refrained from directly accusing Ross of bribery, the allegations have added fuel to the ongoing feud between the two influencers. As tensions persist within the streaming and influencer boxing communities, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact future events and relationships within the industry.
“If I see him on an Adin Ross show then it’s on sight… I was very disappointed.”
