The event marked a notable expansion for the crossover boxing brand. Anthony Joshua was also in attendance alongside promoter Eddie Hearn.

His presence added further intrigue, particularly given his links to several figures across both traditional and influencer boxing. That included Jake Paul, who has long been connected to both Joshua and KSI in different ways. And โ€˜The Problem Childโ€™ became a talking point between those two.

Speaking to Radio Rahim on Misfitsโ€™ YouTube channel, he did not hide his feelings on the matter. โ€œI thanked him heavily for that.

Fantastic work. Especially breaking his jaw. Yeah, fโ€” him,โ€ KSI revealed.

The comments reflect a long-standing rivalry between KSI and Paul. A fight between the two had been widely discussed for years but never came to fruition. KSI faced his brother Logan Paul twice, recording a draw in their first meeting before winning the rematch.
