KSI vs Logan Paul press conference: What time does it start in UK & US and how can I stream online?

KSI and Logan Paul meet once more before fight week, this time in London, England for a press conference.

A decision to host a press conference in the UK was made after high demand from fans, with the initial decision to not host one overturned.

The first, in Los Angeles, California, was bizarre. Insults were traded as promoter and head of Matchroom Boxing USA Eddie Hearn admitted it was a ‘circus’ he ‘needed to stop from becoming a complete circus’ – good luck with that, Eddie.

While it’s expected that the fight will be the most watched and subscribed to in DAZN’s history, it has drawn controversy for staging two fighters who have never had a professional fight in their lives as the main event.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming press conference.

What day is it?

It’s on Monday, 7th October. Not long at all then!

What time is it?

It will be at 6pm UK time, so those who have work or school will have plenty of time to get there! If you’re in US, it’s 1pm ET and 10am if you’re in the west coast.

Where is it?

It’s at the infamous music venue Troxy, 490 Commercial Road, Limehouse, London. 

How do I watch online?

It will be streamed in the same way as before, on both fighters’ YouTube channels. All for free.

Fans are screaming, trying to get a moment of their time.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Logan Paul has said this will be his last boxing match.
 

"I will have progressed too much to ever fight another celebrity or YouTuber after this," he said.

"I am sparring professional fighters and I am beating them badly, that does so much for my confidence.

"I relied on my athleticism to carry me through the first fight and it almost worked; but now I am a boxer, I am literally a professional fighter and I feel like it.

"I would honestly love to fight in the UFC; I want [president] Dana White to put me in the Octagon.

"This fight is different because it is not nerve-wracking. Last year I came here with some anxiety about my boxing ability.

"I believed in my fitness and athleticism and how hard I worked but I did not feel like a boxer, I felt like a YouTuber who was pretending.

"Now my boxing will speak for itself, the confidence has risen.

"I am confused by the people who think he wins. I understand his fans wanting him to win but what the f*** are they thinking? I will end this man.

"Last year I f***** around and showboated but this time it will just be a knockout."
