It’s going to be the biggest event in the history of YouTube.
Just in case you’ve been on a digital detox (and have no idea what we’re referring to) YouTube superstars KSI and Logan Paul are set to duke it out UFC-style at the Manchester Arena on Aug. 25.
If you’ve been following these two creators, you know there’s been some serious drama in the lead up to the white-collar boxing event.
Insults have been exchanged, shade has been thrown.
Whether it’s sincere or just a show, the drama between these two superstar creators is great entertainment.
Tensions are at an all-time high now that Logan Paul’s girlfriend, Chloe Bennet, is involved.
The twenty-six-year-old actress “rinsed” her boyfriend’s opponent on camera a few days ago.
Back on July 18, Logan Paul walked off-stage at a press conference in London, UK when KSI made inappropriate comments about Bennet.
When it comes to the drama Bennet, an actress on the television series Marvels’ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., has largely stayed quiet. But even she couldn’t resist tossing a verbal jab at KSI in the video below (9:30 minute mark).
“Chloe, we’re making a video and you’re in it now,” Logan Paul says, as he rummages through some rubbish in a reply video titled “DEAR KSI… (AGAIN)”. “But we’re almost done, and I’ll see you later
“Wait…are you guys looking for KSI?” Bennet says, pointing to the trash, before the group breaks out into laughter.
“She’s a keeper,” Logan says, smiling to the camera.
Yes, it’s a pretty tame remark. But it’s the first time Bennet has involved herself on camera, in the drama leading up to the fight.
Get ready, boys and girls. It’s about to get nuclear.
