Influencer-turned-boxer KSI has made unbelievable feats inside the boxing ring. Though he stands as a successful YouTube creator, he is known for his boxing prowess as well. And a 2016 gaming session with the Irish Mixed Martial Artist Conor McGregor has made the fans guess if this was the inkling of KSI’s boxing career.

KSI, nicknamed “The Nightmare” in the boxing field, has surely projected his skills. Recently, the personality pulled a star gazing show. In his latest bout against Swartz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda, he emerged victorious after consecutive knockouts.

And finished both the fights on the same night. To put the cherry on the cake, facing Luis Alcaraz Pineda, was KSI’s first fight against someone with no background in entertainment. And winning that match-up had set a statement in the community.

Now, every MMA fan would know about ‘The Notorious Conor McGregor.’ The fighter is a former Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight and lightweight double-champion. On top of that, he is the first UFC fighter to carry UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously.
