Where will the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch take place?
Following the first bout in Manchester in front of KSI’s home crowd, the return fight will be held in USA.
Staples Center in Los Angeles has been announced as the venue, despite talks that another battle in the UK was on the cards.
The decision to stage the fight at the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers was confirmed by Logan in July.
New York had been tipped, while the British YouTube star also proposed the showdown to be held in “somewhere like Dubai or something.”
KSI tweeted in June 16: “If this fight doesn’t happen in the US by the end of the year, then lets bring it back to the U.K. and fight at the 02 next year.”
What happened in the first KSI vs Logan Paul fight
The first clash between the two YouTube stars ended in a majority draw, with the judges scoring it: 57-58 in favour of KSI, 57-57, 57-57.
Logan Paul started strong and came out on top in the first two rounds.
Although, the American began to tire and KSI landed heavier blows in the third round to bring himself back into the contest.
The result means that KSI keeps the crown of YouTube Boxing Champion after his victory against Joe Weller at London’s Copper Box Arena in February in the first clash between two YouTube internet broadcasters.
More than 800,000 streamed the fight through a YouTube pay-per-view service. It has been billed as the “biggest event in internet history”.
What TV channel is it on and can I live stream it?
The fight will be shown live on DAZN USA, but TV rights for the bout have yet to be agreed in the UK.
The first battle between the pair was shown live on YouTube for a fee.
