KSI vs Logan Paul 2 fight explained: UK time, date, undercard, tickets, odds, venue, live stream and why they're fighting

One of the most hyped grudge matches of the year is fast approaching with Logan Paul to fight KSI this week.

Millions are expected to tune in to watch Saturday's hotly-anticipated rematch between the two YouTube rivals, with the Staples Centre in Los Angeles to play host.

Both fighters have announced they have turned professional for the clash, while Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing is promoting the fight.

It comes around a year after a previous fight between the pair in Manchester ended in a disappointing draw, and this rematch is expected to put an end to a longstanding feud between the pair.

Why are they fighting?

The pair fought last year, in what was expected to be the climax of an ongoing feud between the pair.

But that fight ended in a draw, and with neither side able to claim victory, they have decided to sign on for a rematch this year.

Who is on the undercard?

Billy Joe Saunders will face Marcelo Esteban Coceres for the WBO super-middleweight title. Rising star Davin Haney will also fight on the evening but his opponent is yet to be announced.

Elsewhere, Nikita Ababiy will face Jonathan Batista, Ronny Rios will fight Hugo Berrio, Alexis Espino will face Joe Hughes and Reshat Mati will showdown against Cody Peterson.

Diego Pacheco's opponent is yet to be announced

Can I get tickets?

You can, and you can get them here. They range from around £30 to more than £500.

They are expected to go quickly after last year's event was a sell out.

What happened at the press conference last month?

A press conference last month descended into chaos with both fighters hurling outrageous and bizarre insults at one another.

Logan mocked KSI for having a small penis by bringing on a pack of condoms for "little peckers", insulted him for having five abortions, threatened to kiss his "mum on the cheek" and give his opponent a "wet willy on his belly button".

At one point the American also made a bizarre reference to World War II, saying: "All the support we gave you in World War II and this is how you return the favour?

"Winston Churchill would be ashamed."

KSI hit back by saying: "I have no respect for Logan Paul, I can't wait to finish you off.

"You used a dead dog for views, a dead guy for views; is there anything you won't use for views? Maybe your career once I'm done with it.

"November 9th you'll see all your boxing ability is going to go out of the window and you are going to be finished. I'm going to finish him, I'm going to make him suffer slowly."

At one point, the crowd at the press conference chanted other slurs such as "suck your mum" and another about Donald Trump.
