“I think there’s only one thing to do. I think we have to have a rematch,” KSI declared. Paul said, “I think it’s what the people want. Let’s give them a rematch.” The two went the distance in the six-round fight that ended in a draw. The internet was very suspicious of the draw and how maybe that was done on purpose so that they could make more money on a rematch.

The undercard featured Logan’s younger brother Jake against KSI’s younger brother Deji Olatunji. Jake defeated Deji in the fifth round. In the end, we’re all losers for this. Stay tuned for many rematches.
