KSI vs Alex Wassabi as Manager’s comment sparks boxing rumors
3 min read
According to Austin McBroom’s YouTube channel and KSI’s manager, the rapper might face Alex Wassabi in the ring after Wassabi beat his little brother, Deji, in the boxing ring.
KSI is one of the most prolific boxers on YouTube. Having fought fellow YouTubers Joe Weller and Logan Paul successfully, he was largely responsible for kickstarting the trend.
Though KSI has managed to record a perfect 2-0 record, his little brother, Deji, has not had the same luck. Following his win against YouTuber Alex Wassabi, Deji has put together a slow 0-3 record for his boxing career.
Deji’s boxing performance at ShowStar’s the UK vs. USA boxing event earlier this month prompted the rapper to make a video criticizing his younger brother. KSI claimed he was “disappointed” with his brother’s boxing abilities, among other things.
KSI’s position on the matter didn’t sit well with Wassabi. He called him out for “kickin’ your little brother when he’s down.”

McBroom lashed out at KSI’s supervisor in Instagram tales submit earlier than hinting that KSI is about to sign a fight deal with Wassabi in August.
“The reason why we aren’t fighting is that I was asking for too much,” he said. He pointed to KSI’s manager’s BS.
In that case, let’s sign a deal with me before KSI fights Alex in August. Then I’ll fight you for the same deal you’re giving Alex. That won’t happen, though.”
KSI and Alex Wassabi could face each other in August, according to Austin McBroom’s newest Instagram tales.
A match between these two influencers would make sense. Even though nothing has been confirmed by any of the events involved – assuming KSI is not booked through September because of his current musical career.
According to Leon Willis, KSI’s boxing coach, the YouTuber is eyeing a fight in late 2022, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news of KSI’s return.

In a tweet, the next day, KSI’s manager hinted that the rapper will compete in a boxing event this summer, although it is unclear who it may be.
Even though neither party has confirmed such a match, a match between these two influential musicians would make sense – if KSI isn’t booked through September due to his current musical career.
Ok on a serious note…

Dear 🍄,
I’ve spoken to Gibs mngr, @OP_Talent yesterday and @AnEsonGib is ready to fight you at our event (KSI/Wasserman) this summer. Win the fight and you’ll get one with JJ in the winter.
Also…I wouldn’t beat up your pops. He’s a nice man.
At present, KSI’s boxing trainer, Leon Willis, says the YouTuber is targeting a fight in late 2022, leaving fans eager for more information on KSI’s return to the ring.
