Ahead of his highly anticipated boxing rematch with controversial American YouTuber Logan Paul, British gamer, rapper and YouTube personality KSI walked out to an original track featuring Rick Ross, Lil Baby, and S-X, no less. The track, titled ‘Down Like That’, dropped a few days before the fight, with KSI seemingly anticipating a knockout win with his opening bars, “Yeah, yeah, I want that knockdown. Fuck up the system, make it shut down”. Taking the mind games up a notch (in what was a heated saga), you can’t really argue with the delivery of KSI’s final blow before throwing the gloves on.
The fight played out in front of a sold out Staples Centre in Los Angeles and was beamed to millions around the world via pay-per-view services. Despite KSI’s devastating pre-game blow, his premonition of a knockout never came to a reality, although he did ultimately win via split decision after Paul was penalised for a controversial punch thrown in the fourth round. “Last time [I] was scared to fight. I was scared to touch him and get close to him. This time, I just went in and kept going and kept going,” KSI said. “I’m a dog, I keep saying it. He hit me hard and hit me in the back of the head but it is what it is. Your boy is happy, your boy is victorious and it’s happy days. I am a fighter and I keep going. That’s it.”
The fight has divided boxing fans with two world title defences on the undercard to the social media spectacle. In the aftermath of the fight, KSI said he is done with boxing. Check out his banger with Rick Ross, Lil Baby and S-X below:
