While the events that led up to this fight are fairly complex, the important take-away is that KSI came away holding the title for the YouTube Boxing Championship. Following his fight and a statement in support of those suffering from mental illness, KSI chose to call out "Jake Paul, Logan Paul, any of the Pauls, I don't care" along with Rio Ferdinand, the former captain of England's soccer team (26:51).

1:17: Joe Weller begins his entrance to mixed boos and cheers, played in by house music of his own making.

19:23: The referee makes a decision that Weller is no longer able to fight; KSI wins by Technical Knock Out (TKO.)
25:20: KSI speaks to Weller during his interview, claiming that the fight should "showcase that anyone suffering from mental illness [is] not alone."
26:51: KSI calls out the Pauls (as detailed above.)
