IShowSpeed defeated KSI
Ahead of his boxing challenge against Kai Cenat, the Ohio streamer squared off against another popular YouTuber KSI in a boxing match. Speed had won the fight which saw a bizarre conclusion.
Two of the biggest YouTubers collided on December 15 and the match had created quite a buzz in the build-up. Speed had sent several requests for the bout before KSI officially accepted the offer. While many fans wanted a high-intensity bout, it was only sparring at the gym.
KSI, who had the experience of facing Tommy Fury and others, was expected to dominate Speed easily. However, the Ohio streamer flaunted his boxing skills and landed accurate punches. Throughout the 4 rounds they fought, KSI was landing more powerful strikes.
At a later stage Speed’s stamina dipped after enduring multiple body shots. KSI had good authority on the match but in the fourth round, Speed was apparently hurt and KSI tapped out to hand him the win,
It will be pretty interesting to see how the boxing bout between IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat pans out.
