Last year, controversial YouTube personalities KSI and Logan Paul fought each other in a boxing match. The KSI vs. Logan Paul match ended in a draw, which gave the two YouTube stars the perfect excuse to have a rematch. Well, after months of silence, it's been confirmed by Matchroom Boxing that the KSI vs. Logan Paul rematch will take place on Saturday, November 9 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Pre-sale tickets for the KSI vs. Logan Paul rematch will go live on September 10, with general sales available beginning September 14. More details are yet to come, but it's been confirmed that there will be no headguards for the competitors this time around.
This announcement comes a couple of months after Logan Paul spoke about the rematch to TMZ. In that short impromptu interview, Paul confirmed that the rematch would take place in Los Angeles in either November or December. Now we know that the KSI vs. Logan Paul rematch will take place at the Staples Center on November 9, so it seems Paul was telling the truth.
The first KSI vs. Logan Paul boxing match drew considerable attention and made both YouTube stars a lot of money. The followup bout is sure to be just as big, if not bigger, and will likely be preceded by press conferences and WWE-style promos between the two YouTube personalities.
Both KSI and Logan Paul have proven to be controversial figures for the video hosting website, with Paul arguably the more infamous of the two. As some may recall, Paul filmed a VLOG at a Japanese "suicide forest," and even captured footage of a dead body. YouTube's decision not to ban Logan Paul after the incident sparked some outrage from the YouTube community, especially as Paul continued posting potentially offensive content in his videos.
It will be interesting to see if the YouTube stars are able to avoid any major controversies between now and their rematch on November 9. One has to imagine that we'll have a definitive winner this time around, but those interested will just have to tune in to find out for sure.
