KSI vs Logan Paul 2 confirmed for November 9 as YouTube stars turn PRO for Los Angeles grudge match

KSI and Logan Paul have officially announced their rematch taking place on November 9 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

In a remarkable development from their exhibition bout last year the YouTube rivals have turned PRO - with UK promoter Eddie Hearn staging the event.

The internet superstars boxed to a draw in Manchester last August after six-three minutes rounds.

But the two will drop the head guards and battle in 10oz gloves after passing medicals last week, and will once again box over six-three minute rounds.

They will come face-to-face for the first time since their draw on September 14 at their fight at a launch press conference - with a UK media tour to follow.

KSI said: “Finally, after over a year since our rematch, I get to enter the ring once again to fight Logan Paul.

“If I’m being honest, I didn’t fight well at all in the first fight, and even then, I still managed to draw against him.
“This time I won’t make it so close, especially now that it’s a pro fight, no head guards and 10oz gloves.

"The time to end him is nearing. I can’t wait to see the memes of him slumped on the ground after I’ve repeatedly beaten the life out of him.

"He’s facing a different animal this time. He will soon realise."

The first fight sold 1.4m PPV’s on YouTube as they boxed over six-three minute rounds with the rivals' brothers also fighting.

However, sports streaming service DAZN will televise the rematch in the US - with a UK broadcaster yet to be revealed.

Paul said:“I’m excited to ruin JJs face and I want to thank DAZN for giving me the platform to do so.

“Last fight, KSI couldn’t beat me with only three months of training under my belt.

“For the past year, while JJ has been wasting his time trying to become a rapper, I’ve been training every single day.

“I’m finally getting what I wanted from the beginning - no headgear, 10oz gloves, and the opportunity to dismantle JJ’s repugnant face in Los Angeles, my home city.

“After November 9, the embarrassment of losing will eat away at KSI’s ego for the next decade; he will be afraid to show face in America.

“This time, I won’t leave it up to the judges.”
