The Intrigue of the Celebrtiy Boxers Co-main events

KSI, real name- Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, is 1-0 and Tommy Fury, 9-0, will battle in an official six round cruiserweight fight. Fury is fresh off of handing Jake Paul his first pro loss by decision in their February meeting in Saudi Arabia. That lucrative battle has made Fury a commodity for a KSI pay per view event.

As for the social media star turned WWE wrestler, Logan Paul, his fight with the MMA figher Danis has been in doubt with Danis threatening to pull out due to dissatisfaction with the event and his money. Danis aborted fighting KSI in January, which led to the legitimate concern  However, that appears to have been smoothed over.

The Paul-Danis bout is an official Bridgerweight contest and is also scheduled for six rounds.

It is believed that no matter who wins the KSI-Fury fight, that Logan Paul will look to fight that person next. He previously lost to KSI by a controversial split decision in a six round fight in 2019, which came off their amateur exhibition in 2018, that was ruled a majority draw.

Paul is officially 0-1 as a pro with that official decision loss. He did fight an exhibition bout that didn’t have official scoring with future hall of famer Floyd Mayweather in Miami in June 2021.

Obviously, if Fury wins over KSI, then it could set the stage for Paul to avenge his younger brother’s loss.
