Famous American YouTuber, Darren Watkins Jr aka IShowSpeed, cried inconsolably after YouTuber turned boxer KSI granted him a win during their sparring match. Speed and KSI locked horns in a charity match in an undisclosed location in London. The clash coincided with former YouTuber Jake Paul’s fight with Andre August in Florida on December 16, Saturday. While the Florida clash ended with Paul’s boxing record getting improved to 8-1, the spar between KSI and Speed went viral for the former’s pity quitting, causing his opponent to cry.
Speed and KSI shared a friendly rivalry, and though the match was expected to be a friendly bout, the latter had promised to not show any mercy on his amateur opponent and gave the fight his all. However, the bout took interesting turns when KSI tapped out in the fourth round for the good of his rival. KSI gracefully gave the win to the 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo superfan, which left the latter in tears.
By the end of the fourth round, the streaming sensation was on the ground grasping for breath after which his opponent had a change of mind and he tapped out making Speed the official winner. However, Speed was left in tears and he said, "I'm a grown man, let's go!", before sobbing uncontrollably. The streamer claimed that KSI had promised him six rounds and questioned him about leaving after the fourth round itself.
However, KSI convinced him to drop the fight and promised to complete the remaining rounds later. Later, on his way out of the gym, the content creator left KSI hanging, who was looking for a handshake. Before the fight, IShowSpeed had said, “I don’t give a f*ck I am beating his a**, I don’t care how many fights he has had, I am beating his a**, stop doubting me you keep doubting I am beating the f*ck out of KSI bro.”
