KSI vs Logan Paul: Fears YouTube stars' fight 'will promote violence, sexism and gambling to children'
The waiting is over!
After months of bickering, social media sensations KSI and Logan Paul will touch gloves tonight.
The pair will clamber through the ropes at the Manchester Arena in a bid to settle their long-running feud.
It was KSI who light the blue touchpaper back in February when he called Paul out following his win over Joe Weller in London.
His American rival eventually posted a video on YouTube (where else) accepting the fight, and since then the pair have gone back and forth with petty insults.
But the only thing being traded tonight will be leather as these influencers bid to show they are not just full of witty one-liners.
Here is everything you need to know about the fight...
KSI vs Logan Paul: YouTube heavyweights ready for boxing showdown
KSI and Logan Paul, YouTube stars with 37 million subscribers between them, will take their beef into the boxing ring on Saturday for a fight billed as "the biggest event in internet history".
KSI or Logan Paul?
YouTube fans around the world have chosen whose side they are on, and will be watching when the pair of social media heavyweights step into the ring at Manchester Arena.
Both are wildly popular, both are massively divisive, both have highly controversial pasts.
KSI is the brash 25-year-old British gamer, comedy vlogger and rapper whose videos have racked up 4.4 billion views despite heavy criticism for lewd comments towards women in some of his clips.
Logan Paul is the 23-year-old US prankster (and former state wrestler) who made his name on Vine before moving to YouTube, where he's had 3.9 billion views, and who caused outrage earlier this year for showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan.
Both have cultivated a frenzied online feud in order to hype up this bout, which will be streamed pay-per-view on YouTube.
Their brothers Jake Paul (4.9 billion views) and Deji (3.3 billion) will fight on the undercard.
