·2 min read

KSI vs Logan Paul is on. The pair will meet after they first met in what was described as the “biggest internet event in history” in August last year.

Prior to the Manchester Arena bout, both of the YouTube stars had already penned an agreement for a two-fight deal.

The duo fought to a controversial majority draw, meaning that KSI retained his “YouTube Championship Belt” after initially winning it against Brit rival Joe Weller.

After more than 18,000 people watched the first contest in Manchester and another 800,000 or so live, interest in seeing who would come out on top in the rematch has been high – and it’s officially on.

But who actually is KSI and how much does he earn?
