KSI and Logan Paul to headline DAZN pay-per-view card in Manchester

Get ready for the ultimate showdown! Rivals-turned-business partners, KSI and Logan Paul, are gearing up to fight on the same card together. The highly anticipated DAZN pay-per-view event is scheduled for October 14th in Manchester, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.

The PRIME Card is Here!

Taking to Instagram, KSI announced the thrilling news: "The PRIME card is here! We will both fight on the same night for the first time since our rematch in 2019, live on DAZN PPV. Opponents will be announced soon." The announcement has ignited speculation about who their formidable opponents will be.

Mams Taylor, KSI's manager, couldn't contain his enthusiasm and declared, "The most epic card in history incoming. Guaranteed!" With such high expectations, it's clear that this event is not one to be missed.

A Battle with History

KSI, 30, and Paul, 28, first clashed in 2018, resulting in a draw. However, the rivalry intensified when they turned professional, leading to a rematch in 2019. In a nail-biting split-decision, KSI emerged victorious. But their story doesn't stop there.

Together, KSI and Paul launched the immensely popular Prime hydration drink, solidifying their bond and business ventures outside the ring.

Ring Return and Unfinished Business

While KSI has been more active in the boxing scene, Paul's last fight was in June 2021 against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. Although he didn't claim a win, Paul showcased his endurance by going the distance in their exhibition match.

As for KSI, he stepped into the ring in May, delivering a knockout blow to businessman and boxer Joe Fournier. Unfortunately, the victory was marred by an accidental but illegal elbow, leading to the fight being declared a no-contest.

Undeterred, KSI quickly shifted his focus to Tommy Fury, who famously defeated Paul's brother, Jake, earlier this year. Despite delays caused by various negotiations, a deal for the KSI-Fury bout appeared to be on the horizon.

Fueling the speculation even further, Misfits Boxing shared a fight poster featuring the fiery word "Fury." Fans can't help but wonder if this is a hint at the upcoming matchup.

A Rollercoaster of Events

Paul and KSI were initially slated to share the same card in January, but a WWE injury forced Paul to withdraw. Subsequently, Paul signed a deal to face Dillon Danis, Conor McGregor's training partner. However, Danis also pulled out, leaving fans disappointed once again.

With the upcoming DAZN event in Manchester, fans are eager to witness KSI and Logan Paul settle unfinished business and showcase their skills in the ring. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more updates!
