Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor was having the time of his life while attending Saturday’s high-profile boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius.

Returning to the legendary O2 Arena in London, Joshua earned his 26th career win with a vicious seventh-round knockout against short-notice replacement Robert Helenius. Following the bout, Joshua was spotted taking in a celebratory pint or two alongside Irish megastar Conor McGregor.

McGregor was seen throughout the evening cozying up to IBF bantamweight women’s champion Ebanie ‘Blonde Bomber’ Bridges and pouring a pint of his Forged Irish Stout down any throat he could find.

Perhaps the biggest news of the night from McGregor came when he shared a word with Gareth A. Davies before the main event festivities began. McGregor addressed his long-rumored return to the Octagon, revealing that he will be back this December for a scrap against his opposing TUF coach, ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler. Of course, with the Irishman still not re-enrolled in the USADA testing pool, it remains to be seen how the former two-division titleholder plans to pull that off.

Conor McGregor Calls Out KSI, Discusses Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis

Of course, Conor McGregor was far from done, jumping into the ring and taking a shot at another combat sports star in attendance, KSI.

KSI is currently gearing up for a return to the ring in October where he will headline a Misfits boxing event alongside undefeated British standout Tommy Fury. The event will be co-headlined by a grudge match between social media star and PRIME Energy Drink hawker Logan Paul who will meet Conor McGregor’s long-time BJJ coach, Dillon Danis, in a boxing bout.

Speaking backstage at Joshua vs. Helenius, McGregor revealed that he will help train Danis for the fight. Considering his record on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter, we’re not sure if that’s something to brag about.

It didn’t take long for KSI’s controversial knockout of Joe Fournier to be overturned.

KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, stepped into the squared circle for his fifth career fight, taking on undefeated Joe Fournier. Things started out relatively slow between the two, but things quickly picked up in the second round with KSI hunting for a highlight-reel-worthy knockout. He got exactly that, blasting Fournier with what appeared to be a short right hook 1:26 into the round. However, instant replay revealed that the knockout blow was not a punch, but a well-placed elbow.

Despite it being blatantly obvious via replay and the referee standing in a perfect position to witness it happen, KSI was announced as the winner. Fournier immediately announced his intentions to file an appeal which, unsurprisingly, was successful. The Professional Boxing Association overturned the victory for the London native, dubbing it a no contest.

“Even though KSI was winning the fight, the blow with the forearm/elbow has been found to be accidental and the obvious disappointment that will follow, it has been decided that the contest is declared a No Decision in accordance with the Rules,” the PBA press release revealed.

KSI Was Devastated After Seeing the Replay

KSI initially tried to defend the victory, suggesting that the knockout was the result of a right hook and the elbow grazed Fournier afterward. The social media star was quickly brought back to reality after viewing the replay backstage.

“At that point, I’m just devastated,” KSI said Monday on The MMA Hour. “That’s all I think about. And I’m like, this has ruined all my hard work. Just, it’s so annoying because I worked so hard. I look back at the fight and I looked so good. Second round, I did everything right.

“That one moment has just destroyed or just ruined everything that I worked for. And I don’t know, it was just frustrating, and it really pissed me off if I’m being honest, because I’m looking online and everyone was like, ‘Elbow, elbow, forearm, you cheated, you cheat, you cheat, should be disqualified.’ And I’m like, bro, I just went for a right hook. I went for a right hook because I’m knew he was trying to clinch me. I don’t know, it was frustrating.”

KSI confirmed that he has no interest in running it back with Joe Fournier. Instead, the undefeated boxer will focus on a potential meeting with Tommy Fury. ‘TNT’ was on hand for KSI’s latest contest and even climbed into the ring afterward for a heated face-off that nearly devolved into an all-out brawl.

Darren Till calls for fight with KSI following illegal elbow KO in boxing match UFC

After a shocking sequence of events at Misfits 007, Darren Till is chomping at the bit to step inside the ring with Youtube sensation KSI aka JJ Olajide Olatunji.

At Misfits 007 KSI faced Joe Fournier. The match proceeded as planned, with KSI having earned the lead when everything took a turn for the unexpected in the second round. On the video, KSI can be seen slipping a punch, before grabbing his opponent by the back of the head and landing a vicious elbow to his jaw. According to KSI, this strike was meant to be a hook, but it missed and the elbow connected instead.

After seeing this brutal strike online, it must have awakened the dog inside Darren Till, as the former UFC star now seems to eagerly want a boxing match with KSI. “Elbows in boxing now?” Darren Till said on Twitter. “I’m up for a bit of that.”

Darren Till seemingly has his sights set on money fights before he makes his UFC return

The Liverpool native has come a long way since the beginning of his MMA career. Once the shining star for UK prospects and touted as a future champion, the beloved star has recently announced he will be stepping away from the sport of MMA.

The news struck shortly after Till’s last fight against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282. The UK star claimed he needed time to find himself again and reassess things. 1-4 in his last five fights, Till has been experiencing quite a slump.

“What’s happening everyone, Me, Dana & Hunter are still cool as f***,” Till said. I asked UFC 2 remove me just 2 sort some other shit for the foreseeable, They happily agreed to release me out of contract which I appreciate. I’m not going anywhere, got big plans to execute & I’ll be back.”

Now, it seems that Till is ready to get back to competing in combat sports. With his recent callout of KSI, a fight between the two could provide the spark Darren Till needs to get back to his old winning ways.

Will the once highly touted UK star ever capture that elusive UFC title, and what do you think of his callout of KSI?

Social media sensation KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, made his fourth walk to the squared circle on Saturday afternoon for the Misfits & DAZN: X Series 007 boxing event at Wembley Arena in London.

Having scored three-straight wins, Olatunji was tasked with taking on undefeated boxing standout Joe Fournier. With a 9-0 record, all by way of knockout, it was clearly the biggest test of Olatunji’s career. The first round saw a fast and furious start between the two standouts with Fournier being the aggressor while Olatunji used his footwork to stay out of danger and counterstrike effectively.

In the second round, both fighters became a little more patient, but with 90 seconds left, Olatunji landed a massive overhand right that rocked Fournier. Closing the distance, Olatunji landed another massive shot that rendered Fournier unconscious and sent him crashing to the canvas. The referee called a stop to the action awarding Olatunji the victory via knockout. However, the strike that sent Fournier into the shadow realm was clearly an illegal elbow.

Instant replay clearly showed that KSI landed a short elbow while in close and that was the shot that ultimately ended the contest. Despite crystal clear video evidence, Olatunji scoffed at the notion that it was an illegal strike during his post-fight interview. Olatunji was awarded the video though we suspect Fournier will successfully appeal the result, either turning into a no contest or a disqualification for his opponent.

KSI Andrew Tate

KSI is not at all impressed after watching recently leaked footage of Andrew Tate and a fan engaging in a heated sparring match. The video shows Tate boxing a smaller man, and for almost the entirety of the video Tate struggled with his smaller opponent. Known for his egotistical attitude, Andrew Tate has recently been released from a Romanian jail on house arrest after sex trafficking charges.

UK youtube sensation and boxer KSI thought the recent video of Andrew Tate having a hard time by the shorter man was hilarious and released a tweet ridiculing Tate.

Andrew Tate performs a sparring match, KSI gives his reaction on Twitter

After struggling with this opponent throughout the video, Andrew Tate scored a body shot and knocks the wind out of his opponent. “From watching this, I would absolutely DESTROY Andrew Tate,” KSI said on Twitter. “Watch me on May 13th for those that don’t believe me.”

Andrew Tate had a comeback, and it seemed convenient. “I was literally teaching him, and telling him what to do,” Tate said on Twitter. The video clearly shows no words were exchanged as the two sparred, and the man half his size had the head movement and footwork of a boxer with at least a few years of experience under his belt.

“I wasn’t even punching back,” Tate said, although the video shows him winging punches. While this was just a sparring bout, many people across the world would surely love to see Andrew Tate face a real boxer in the squared circle or even kickbox as he once did professionally.

KSi offers to fight Andrew Tate in tag team match Logan Paul Tristan Tate

With Andrew Tate recently released from a Romanian prison this week, fellow social media celebrities Logan Paul and KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, have an interesting proposal for the British-American kickboxer and his brother.

It’s no secret that Andrew Tate is not overly fond of Logan Paul or KSI and the Prime Hydration Drink promoters believe they can parlay that into some type of tag team contest inside the world of combat sports. YouTube channel Fesify recently uploaded a video exploring the possibility of such an event with KSI comments on the possibility.

“Imagine this tag team main event though,” KSI said. “Oh my god. Prime Time vs. Team Tate. Fam, where would this be? You know, live at the Romanian prisons? I don’t even think it would be a challenge. I think we should breeze past them. I think I could take on both of them myself.”

Andrew Tate and Brother Will Remain Under House Arrest Until April 29

It wouldn’t be the first time that KSI had been tasked with fighting two men on the same night. In August 2022, the Brit scored back-to-back knockouts of Brandon Scott and Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same night.

Logan Paul is currently in the process of completing the first year of his WWE contract. It remains to be seen if the social media sensation will re-sign with the promotion, but he will be part of WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles, taking on Iowa’s own Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins in a highly anticipated match during the two-night extravaganza.

As for Andrew Tate, the love-him-or-hate-him misogynist was released from a Romania prison for the first time since being detained in December on suspicion of rape and human trafficking. Tate was arrested alongside three other individuals, including his brother Tristan Tate. The four will remain under house arrest until April 29. With the brothers now back at home, they could presumably begin negotiating to take part in an event following the end of their legal issues.
