KSI and Logan Paul hint at trilogy boxing match in 2022
KSI took to social media to tease a possible trilogy encounter with fellow internet personality Logan Paul.
KSI, born Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, defeated Paul via split decision (56-55, 57-54 and 55-56) in a six-round professional boxing match on November 9, 2019 inside Los Angeles' Staples Center. The two had previously fought to a majority draw back in 2018 in an amateur bout.
He had earlier ruled out chances for a trilogy but has now shared a poster featuring the duo, who will be revealing some news together on January 4. It is still unclear if they will confirm the trilogy or announce some other collaboration.
"The Final Chapter official announcement. When: Jan 4, 1:00 PST. Who: @loganpaul, @ksi. Where: Instagram Live," read the poster.

'The Maverick' responded to KSI's post by sharing the same poster from his official Twitter account with the caption "this only ends one way."
KSI has not fought since 2019

The 28-year-old British influencer won the six-round clash via a third-round TKO at the Copper Box Arena.
