Trailer for KSI vs Logan Paul boxing rematch

KSI says he ‘expected more’ from Logan Paul‘s open workout with the media, which took place earlier this week.

The 24-year-old is set to face KSI in a rematch of their amateur fight last year, which was a draw.

After fighting in front of 18,000 at the sold out Manchester Arena, the pair took their time to organise a rematch and now face off in the professional ranks for the first time.

Paul took part in a training session alongside coach Shannon Briggs, with his younger brother Jake Paul and media from all corners watching on.

Clips of the workout were uploaded across the standard social media platforms, and while many complimented Paul for the physical condition he has managed to find himself in, his upcoming opponent wasn’t too impressed.

“It was pretty standard, I probably expected more from him.

“He was skipping for five-10 minutes and he just looked knackered.

“The jabs were weak, his hand positions were all over the place. There’s a lot to decipher from that and compared to mine, he’s finished.

“He looks really good, big, bulky and heavy. I’m sure that’s going to do well for him over six rounds...”

KSI and Paul fight at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, California on 9 November.
