British YouTube star KSI has won his professional boxing debut by beating his online rival Logan Paul in a six-round cruiserweight bout at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The Londoner won the fight in a split decision, with the three ringside judges scoring the exciting contest 55-56, 57-54 and 56-55.
Both men were sent tumbling to the canvas in a wild fight, but KSI prevailed after Paul was controversially deducted two points for holding and hitting in an exciting fourth round.
The pair first fought last year in Manchester but a “majority draw” was declared after six rounds.
“Last time I was scared to fight,” said KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams JJ Olatunji, after the match. “This time I just went in. I just kept going and going He couldn’t deal with my jabs. I got him.”
