KSI has thrown his name into the hat to face Conor McGregor in a boxing match.
McGregor has been linked with a fight against Logan Paul. Reports indicated that an exhibition could take place in India for a boxing match, earning each fighter $250 million. This would be McGregor’s first fight since his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. McGregor is looking for his return to combat sports after he was recently found liable in a sexual assault lawsuit filed by Nikita Hand, ordering him to pay her roughly $258,000 in damages.
However, there have been doubts about whether the exhibition will go ahead. Jake Paul has also been linked with the fight since he is a bigger name in boxing. Meanwhile, Logan has said he will focus on WWE full-time, meaning a McGregor fight is off the table. KSI’s last boxing fight was a loss to Tommy Fury. Despite going the distance, he lost a unanimous decision. KSI has now said he is willing to step in the ring, which could bring about a fight on Misfits.
Not rumoured. I’m very down https://t.co/7YU5EIpOMu
