KSI vs Logan Paul press conference LIVE: Stream, UK time, how to watch online and latest fight announcements

KSI and Logan Paul are set to come face to face today for the first time since they fought in front of 18,000 at the Manchester Arena last year.

First time around, the fight broke records and was dubbed the “Biggest Internet Event in History”, but this time the pair turn professional: no headguards, no 16oz gloves.

A UK broadcaster is set to be announced today, as are professional fighters to appear on the undercard – and we’ll have the updates from today’s press conference. Follow it LIVE below.

It's fair to say this one has split the boxing world.
 
One man who is a big fan of the event is someone who's fighting tonight: Tyson Fury.
 
Read what he had to say on two YouTubers turning professional.
 

Tyson Fury breaks down why KSI vs Logan Paul II is 'unbelievable for boxing'

Tyson Fury fights for the second time in 2019 this weekend when he faces unbeaten Swedish talent Otto Wallin at his second home in Las Vegas, Nevada. The infamous strip has become somewhat of a residency for the man from Manchester and this time it’s the T-Mobile Arena. Beat Wallin, which he is widely expected to do, and glory awaits. 
And this is what Logan Paul has had to say:
 
“I’m excited to ruin JJs face and I want to thank DAZN for giving me the platform to do so. 

“Last fight, KSI couldn’t beat me with only three months of training under my belt. For the past year, while JJ has been wasting his time trying to become a rapper, I’ve been training every single day. I’m finally getting what I wanted from the beginning – no headgear, 10oz gloves, and the opportunity to dismantle JJ’s repugnant face in Los Angeles, my home city.

“After November 9, the embarrassment of losing will eat away at KSI’s ego for the next decade; he will be afraid to show face in America. This time, I won’t leave it up to the judges. 

“I’ve been a DAZN fan for a very long time, so it’s an honor to partner with DAZN and Matchroom Boxing USA for what will become the biggest combat sporting event of the year.”

So what has KSI said so far?
 
"Finally, after over a year since our rematch, I get to enter the ring once again to fight Logan Paul.

“If I’m being honest, I didn’t fight well at all in the first fight, and even then, I still managed to draw against him.

“This time I won’t make it so close, especially now that it’s a pro fight, no head guards and 10oz gloves hahahaha, the time to end him is nearing. I can’t wait to see the memes of him slumped on the ground after I’ve repeatedly beaten the life out of him. He’s facing a different animal this time. He will soon realize.

“Big shoutout to DAZN and Matchroom Boxing USA for hosting a monumental fight that will be in the record books whether people like it or not. November 9 is the day ‘The Nightmare’ becomes his reality.”

Last night, Devin Haney knocked out Zaur Abdullaev to become Vasyl Lomachenko's mandatory for the WBC lightweight title.
 
Here's the story from that fight.
