This news comes after an explosive press conference held on July 1, 2024, where KSI claimed he’ll “breeze through” Slim before taking on Taylor, who he says will be “a bit more difficult.”
“AT is the guy who’s hard to hit clean,” KSI said. “He’s a bit of a messy fighter, he loves a clinch. I think I’ll just have to work him down and just do my thing.”
Slim, for his part, has vowed to KO KSI on August 31— something that KSI clearly thinks won’t happen.
The fighters met for a face-off where Slim claimed he wanted to fight “right now.” Although they were separated by chain-link cages and a glass panel, that didn’t stop them from exchanging fighting words.
Confirmation of the bout comes nearly a month after KSI openly challenged the two boxers in a YouTube video.
“I want to fight. I am here to fight. I want to challenge myself. So I’m going to fight a person who has been on my case for ages. So I will be fighting Slim and Anthony Taylor in a 2v1 handicap tag-team match,” he said.
This isn’t KSI’s first time taking on two fighters in one night. The YouTuber famously took on British rapper Swarmz and pro boxer Luis Pineda on the same card in August 2022 — both matches that he won by KO.
