Warning shots have been sent to arch nemesis Jake Paul as KSI beats FaZe Temperrr in their hotly-anticipated clash.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer knocked out his Brazilian-American opponent in the first round at Wembley’s OVO Arena in London on Saturday night.
He was initially scheduled to fight controversial MMA star Dillon Danis, but he pulled out just 10 days before the Misfits event. FaZe Temperrr, who is the head of the famed FaZe Clan, stepped in to save the fight.
But it was quickly apparent he was no match for KSI, who sent him tumbling to the canvas with a devastating two-punch combination.
Naturally, Jake Paul was quick to comment on KSI’s victory. He tweeted: “I love when KSI wins because it gives him more confidence for him to actually get in the ring with me.”

The pair recently took part in a ferocious exchange over Twitter Spaces, so a long-anticipated mega-fight may not be too far around the corner.
However, it looks like Jake also has his eye on a clash with popular internet figure Salt Papi. The Filipino star, who shot to fame on TikTok, made light work of Josh Brueckner in what was another stylish display.
His brutal left-handed shot took Brueckner off his feet and gained praise from Eddie Hearn, Sammy Jo-Luxton and True Geordie.
Reacting to the fight, Logan Paul said: “Salt Papi vs Jake Paul I need it.”
Jake, however, took a slightly less measured approach, tweeting: “I’d f**k Salt Papi.”
The rest of the undercard also provided no shortage of entertainment on the night, with the likes of Elle Brooke, Swarmz and Luis Pineda earning victories of their own.
