Your support makes all the difference.KSI and Logan Paul will meet once more before fight week, this time in London for a press conference.
A decision to host a press conference in the UK was made after high demand from fans, with the initial decision to not host one overturned.
The first, in Los Angeles, California, was bizarre. Insults were traded as promoter and head of Matchroom Boxing USA Eddie Hearn admitted it was a ‘circus’ he ‘needed to stop from becoming a complete circus’.
WATCH KSI VS LOGAN PAUL II UK PRESS CONFERENCE LIVE
While it’s expected that the fight will be the most watched and subscribed to in DAZN’s history, it has drawn controversy for staging two fighters who have never had a professional fight in their lives as the main event.
Here’s what you need to know about the press conference.
What day is it?
It’s on Monday, 7th October. Not long at all then!
What time is it?
It will be at 6pm UK time, so those who have work or school will have plenty of time to get there!
Where is it?
It’s at the infamous music venue Troxy, 490 Commercial Road, Limehouse, London.
Can I attend?
Unfortunately not. There were 3,000 tickets available online but they have all sold out. High, high demand.
How do I watch online?
It will be streamed in the same way as before, on both fighters’ YouTube channels. All for free.
Ah! It has been delayed until 6.30 now, because so many people are still pouring in...
From YouTubers to sports stars, there are so many names here - and that's just in the press area.
Fans are screaming, trying to get a moment of their time.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Logan Paul has said this will be his last boxing match.
"I will have progressed too much to ever fight another celebrity or YouTuber after this," he said.
"I am sparring professional fighters and I am beating them badly, that does so much for my confidence.
"I relied on my athleticism to carry me through the first fight and it almost worked; but now I am a boxer, I am literally a professional fighter and I feel like it.
"I would honestly love to fight in the UFC; I want [president] Dana White to put me in the Octagon.
"This fight is different because it is not nerve-wracking. Last year I came here with some anxiety about my boxing ability.
"I believed in my fitness and athleticism and how hard I worked but I did not feel like a boxer, I felt like a YouTuber who was pretending.
"Now my boxing will speak for itself, the confidence has risen.
"I am confused by the people who think he wins. I understand his fans wanting him to win but what the f*** are they thinking? I will end this man.
"Last year I f***** around and showboated but this time it will just be a knockout."
Shannon Briggs shows his face for a brief moment and gets booed. Heavily.
The pair come face to face above all the fans and the boos for Logan are crazy!
Eddie Hearn:
"No headguards, I have to be honest with you, someone is getting knocked out on 9 November."
