KSI vs Dillon Danis: Is KSI an excellent boxer?
However, the query is whether Olajide is that excellent of a boxer. Yes, he hasn’t yet lost a match, but that doesn’t necessarily prove that he is a true professional. Let’s find out if KSI has outstanding or merely good boxing abilities.
KSI boxing news history
He entered the boxing ring for the first time in 2018, following a successful run as a YouTuber, and has since competed in five fights. In his first two bouts, he participated as an amateur. He challenged Joe Weller and Logan Paul, two YouTubers. KSI defeated Weller through third-round TKO. The boxer’s second fight in his career ended in a draw against Logan Paul. It happened on November 9, 2019, at the Staples Center. Although an appeal was also expected, KSI prevailed on a technicality.
On August 27 at the O2 Arena in London, he accomplished a unique achievement by fighting two boxers on the same day. The first opponent he faced was Swarmz, who he knocked out twice to defeat 2-0. Later, he TKO’d Luis Alcaraz Pineda in the third round and destroyed him.

KSI strengths and weaknesses in the ring
First, he has excellent cardio, a requirement for any combat sport. He has tremendous knockout skills in addition to his cardio. He won both his recent matches—against Swarmz and Pineda—by knockout. He has enormous power to outmatch his opponents in the ring because of his solid physical makeup. Most importantly, he has received years of professional training from numerous competent coaches.
Although KSI has yet to lose, his boxing approach has some significant flaws. His poor IQ during fights in the ring is one of the main things keeping him from becoming great. His feeble defense is another issue for KSI, for which he has drawn much criticism. He has also generally used shoddy footwork. When moving in the ring, one must be swift and fluid. Sadly, the former YouTuber turned fighter is deficient in these two areas. He has taken a lot of punches thus far because of poor footwork, but he won in the end.
