KSI and Logan Paul met in London today for the second press conference of their promotional tour for their upcoming rematch.

In the first bout, records were broken as the pair of YouTubers - and at the time, amateur boxers, fought to a majority draw in an evening dubbed the “Biggest Internet Event in History”.

After an interesting first press conference where bizarre insults were traded, the second was even crazier. More than 3,000 fans descended into the Troxy as the pair traded verbal blows and fans all around were screaming in excitement.

Watch it back or look over all the updates from the day.

Shannon Briggs:

"KSI is a strong guy, I'm impressed that he called Logan out. He's a young, talented kid and he has a strong future in boxing but he ain't ready yet."

True Geordie asks for their predictions:
