Yesterday, KSI, a.k.a. JJ Olatunji, squared off against fellow YouTuber FaZe Temperrr and secured a dominating first-round KO victory at the Wembley Arena in London.
KSI was supposed to face UFC fighter Dillon Danis, but the American backed out of the fight just before the 10-day mark, citing a lack of preparation.
The aspiring British rapper debuted boxing against British YouTuber Joe Weller but drew huge media attention when he defeated YouTuber turned pro wrestler Logan Paul in their second face-off, the only professional bout in which KSI participated.
After the trailblazing clash against Elder Paul, KSI fought and won against celebrities like Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
On the other hand, 1.7 million Instagram follower celebrity FaZe Temperrr has a professional boxing record of 1-1 and an amateur record of 1-1, and his fight against the Nightmare was his first major appearance in combat sports.
After analyzing previous payment records and data from insiders, we came to the conclusion that this is how much these two had made from the clash. Let us break down the fight purses, payouts, and salaries of these celebrity boxers for yesterday’s MF cruiserweight title bout.
