A bitter rivalry between both YouTubers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul will be settled in a 2019 rematch, with a lot more than bragging rights on the line.
Those who follow either of these mega-popular internet personalities will remember the first time that they faced each other inside a boxing ring, back in August 2018. Despite so much hype coming into it and both claiming to get one over the other, it resulted in a draw – a disappointing result for all involved.
However, both men have one more chance to settle the score, just over a year after their first bout. So, let’s take a look at everything you need to know about the fight and event.
When is the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch?

While last time the pair were forced to wear protective headwear, this time the fight will take place in the cruiserweight division (weight limit of 200lbs) and will not be a white-collar amateur boxing match.

During the UK press conference, Logan was reportedly warned about an organized group in London that were ready to use “acid and knives” to harm him during his trip across the pond.
KSI has admitted that the two fighters really don’t care about the other going into fight, claiming that both of them are coming in for knockouts in an interview with JD Sports.
He said: “We’re not friends. I don’t care about him. I’m sure he doesn’t care about me and ultimately we both want knockouts.
“We both want to get the glory because after this it’s not a paycheck, if anything it’s being able to release content and push your career after this fight, do more fights, and you have bragging rights on YouTube for so long.”
The bookies appear to have one slight favorite coming into the fight, with Logan Paul being priced at 4/7 according to OddsChecker, with KSI being priced at 9/5.
