Moreover, he also removes the blindfold and looks into the camera while still dodging the punches and also winking in the end. The Nightmare was certainly looking good with his movements, even though he hadn’t fought in three years.

Who is the favorite coming into the fight?

Ever since his bout with Logan Paul, KSI has been more focused on his music career, where he also saw great success and even produced two albums during this period. However, he will still be coming into this fight as the favorite to win, posing an undefeated record, and will be eager to add another win to his name. On the other hand, this will be Wassabi’s second fight, who is coming off a victory over KSI’s brother Deji back in March.

Other bouts include rapper Blueface vs Thoms Oliveria.
