Keneci Channel

The boxing event which took place Saturday evening, at the O2 Arena in London featured highly-questionable quality matchups between YouTubers and influencers that resulted in underwhelming performances.

KSI first opponent of the evening was British rapper Swarmz, who he dispatched in the second round, with a body shot followed by a left hand sending the rapper to the canvas. The fight was stopped at 28 seconds.

KSI 29, returned to the ring for the main event to face professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, who was dropped three times in the opening round.

The YouTube star again dropped Pineda twice in the second round. After the second knockdown in the round, he decided to show off by getting some push-ups in while the referee counted.

The fight was stopped 54 seconds into the the third round after two knockdowns.

After winning his second 'fight' of the night, KSI -- real name Olajide 'JJ' Olatunji -- called out Tommy Fury and controversial former kickboxer Andrew Tate, among others.

The YouTube star earlier in the week, stirred up a new rivalry with Tate after the former kickboxer was banned from Big Tech platforms. KSI claimed a fight with Tate could be on the cards but would likely not be allowed after his controversial views on women.

Critics however panned KSI's bravado, pointing out that Tate would likely beat the YouTube star handily. KSI was originally scheduled to face Alex Wassabi, who was forced out due to injury.

Sam 'Irish Candyman' Hyde beat IAMTHMPSN in an undercard fight at the event Saturday. He landed a vicious third-round knockout in his YouTube boxing debut against his heavyweight rival.

After beating THMPSN, Hyde called out YouTuber Hasan Piker. He had indicated in an interview that he will retire from the sport if Piker refuses to answer his call to step in the ring.
