Will KSI join WWE in Logan Paul's footsteps? The YouTuber-boxer responds
KSI has clarified his comments about potentially joining Logan Paul in the WWE.
'The Nightmare' vs. 'The Maverick' is one of the best enemy-turned-friends stories in combat sports today. The two fought twice in the boxing ring, with their first outing in 2018 being a draw. A year later, the Brit earned the win by a split decision.
However, four years on from their time as competitors, the two are now friends and business partners. The pair owns the popular energy and hydration drink PRIME, which has recently partnered with the UFC. Along with their success in the business, they've found success in different areas.
Over the last few years, KSI has focused on creating music and boxing. Meanwhile, Logan Paul has become a star in the world of professional boxing. The YouTuber has become a full-time wrestler for WWE and is set to face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 this Saturday.
In the past, the Brit has teased that he could one day join his business partner in WWE. In a recent interview with WIRED, he elaborated on those comments. There, he admitted that, unlike Paul, he has no business in the WWE ring:
"No, I've got no business in the WWE. Nope, nope, nope."

KSI next fight: Who will 'The Nightmare' face next?
KSI's next fight is slated to be with Joe Fournier on May 13th in London, England.
'The Nightmare' has been out of the ring since his bout with Faze Temper in January. However, the YouTuber was originally slated to face Dillon Danis at the event instead. Sadly, 'El Jefe' withdrew from the event days out, which led to the Brazilian getting a short-notice nod to the main event.

The undefeated British star captured a highlight-reel first-round knockout win in the headliner. He then headed outside the ring for a staredown with Joe Fournier. The former businessman, along with Tyron Woodley, had been calling out the YouTuber in the build for the event.
After the event, Fournier and Woodley continued to call out the YouTuber. Both opponents seemed like suitable step-ups in the competition, as one is 9-0, and the other is a former UFC champion who's fought Jake Paul twice.
In the end, 'The Chosen One' missed out on his fight with KSI, as Joe Fournier got the nod. The YouTuber-turned-boxer announced the matchup last week and is set to headline a DAZN pay-per-view offering in May. The bout itself will be held at the Wembley Arena in London, England.
May 13th, we go again. Another KO incoming https://t.co/uEuYdM2jDN
