Rapper Swarmz looked less than athletic when he weighed in for his boxing debut against KSI.
Swarmz - real name Brandon Scott - accepted the fight with YouTube star KSI at two weeks' notice after the Londoner's original foe Alex Wassabi pulled out after suffering concussion in training. Swarmz has never fought before and is not believed to have been in training in the event he was called up.
He will take on KSI in Saturday's opening fight of the night before KSI faces Mexican professional Luis Pineda in the final fight three hours later. And while KSI and Luis Pineda looked in shape as they weighed in at 180lb and 179lb respectively, Swarmz weighed 199lb, just one pound under the cruiserweight limit.
He said later: "I am going to surprise everyone. Watch, KSI, watch. They gave me 12 days to lose 20kg but I did it, I'm a mad man." The fighter's coach added: "Listen, I don’t know why he is hyping over there. Twenty days, he is a mad man, he came to me and said he was going to take the fight and make the weight and he did.
"You are going to be in for a big surprise he has been training a lot but you are in for a surprise. He is a mad man for real you couldn’t do these things with me but this is here and this is his show."
Will KSI win both fights tomorrow night? Let us know in the comments section below
KSI is returning to the ring for the first time in over 1,000 days and will put his 1-0 record on the line on Saturday night. And he said: "The Nightmare is back. Three years I have had to watch these motherf****** fight in front of me and it is good to be back and show everyone why I am No.1.
"Are you not entertained ladies and gentlemen? F*** Jake Paul. F*** all these motherf******; round one KO, watch. The whole event looks amazing, the best I've been on. I'm so proud to be a part-owner of this event and make sure all the fighters get paid and looked after."
