It is no secret that KSI has made quite a name in the influencer-boxing scene. The Nightmare is on an undefeated run, with a recent double victory against English rapper Swarmz and Mexican boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda. However, boxing also helped KSI quit his drinking addiction.

The 29-year-old revealed quitting alcohol since transitioning to boxing. He also shared about what happened to him in the past upon drinking, “I just wouldn’t be myself. I’d lose my way. I wouldn’t say that [I was a big drinker], but I’d get drunk, and then I’d end up in… situations I wouldn’t normally end up in.”
