KSI has admitted that he has been brought to tears during his training camp.
The British YouTuber fights Logan Paul at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles this evening in one of the most highly anticipated bouts of the year.
KSI and Paul fought to a controversial majority draw last year in a white collar bout.
Eddie Hearn, owner of Matchroom Boxing has since taken over promotional rights of the fight and the two have turned from amateur to professional.
Tensions have been at an all-time high between KSI and the 24-year-old American this week as fight night closes in.
“My ritual is just chill,” KSI told Footyasylum when asked about how he plans to relax ahead of the fight.
“I’ll just chill with the boys, play a few games here and there. I’ve got my Xbox set up so I’ve just been playing Call of Duty and Overwatch.
“I’ll play on my phone, check my messages and I’ve had a lot of people giving me ‘good luck’ messages. I’ll respond to those after the fight.
“I don’t want to watch any more boxing, I want to keep my mind off it. I’ve taken in a lot over the months, I want to take it easy and enjoy the day.”
The 26-year-old with more than 20 million subscribers also admitted that he has been reduced to tears during his training camp.
“Everyone’s asking why I’m so calm and confident and it’s because my team is so solid. I’ve been put through the wringer.
“Literal blood, sweat and tears. I mean tears, I’ve cried in camp because it’s been tough!
“The things I’ve been doing are mad, I’ve come out a better and more confident man. I can dictate the pace and do what I want.”
