Promoter Eddie Hearn believes KSI ‘doesn’t look great’ ahead of his fight against Logan Paul.

The two YouTubers meet at the Staples Centre this evening in one of the most highly anticipated rematches of the year.

It was at the Manchester Arena where they first fought, battling to a majority draw which saw both men immediately claim they wanted a rematch.

With the fight now just a matter of hours away, interest has reached a new level with both casuals and hardcore boxing fans taking a keen interest.

Neither KSI or Paul have ever had a professional fight before – and much is unknown about their actual ability.

“These guys can fight, a little bit,” Hearn told Seconds Out.

“They know how to box, Logan Paul actually looks pretty decent it’s just I don’t know what kind of engine he’s going to have for this fight.

“KSI don’t look great but he’s at least studied, he’s been around boxing for a couple of years.

“He has tried to improve as a fighter.”

Two world champions also feature on the undercard, with Billy Joe Saunders defending his WBO super-middleweight title and Devin Haney looking to keep a hold of his WBC lightweight belt.
