KSI marked his return to the boxing ring with an emphatic win over fellow YouTube star FaZe Temperr.
The Brit defended the Misfits cruiserweight title once more by hitting a huge left hook within the opening 20 seconds of the first round to send Temperrr to the ground in front of a packed-out crowd inside the Wembley Arena.
Where KSI’s last two fights – which came in one night back in August – proved something of a joke, this was at least some sort of statement as the prospect of a money-spinning fight with Jake Paul looms.
While influencer boxing continues to draw critics, it’s increasingly difficult to ignore the intrigue. Like it or not, an offshoot of this kind provides a light-hearted distraction to some of the difficult moments the purer sport endured during an often arduous 2022.
