LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — After six entertaining but pointless rounds, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji defeated fellow Youtuber, Logan Paul, by split decision, according to Sunday morning reports.
The “boxing” match between the popular YouTube celebrities went down Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

In a slugfest between the two inexperienced fighters, Briton KSI got the decision on the scorecard after six wild rounds, reports Gmanetwork.
Two judges scored the fight 57-54, 56-55 in favor over KSI, while one had it 56-55 for Paul.
Each boxer seemed to throw all of their force in the opening three rounds before tiring. American Paul landed a big uppercut in the fourth round but was deducted two points when he pulled KSI down to the canvas and hit him in the back of the head. KSI was allowed time to recover, and he did so in a big way by getting the best of the final furious three minutes of the fight.
“I’m a dog. I don’t stop, I keep going,” KSI said, following the win.
“I was scared to fight last time, I was scared to get close to him; this time I just kept going. I’ve done it, I’m victorious.”
Paul paid respect to his opponent.
“I just want to say fair play to JJ, you’re one of the toughest people I know,” Paul said. “He had my respect before the fight, it was all for show. I wish you the best. You’ll see me in the squared circle again, I’ll be back!”
Just admit KSI one. If Logan goes to the commission and get the two points reinstated, they would also need to admit the knock from JJ was actually a knockdown which would of won him that round.
Either way. Olajide Olatunji won.

KSI is such a good role model man. Came from nothing to one of the biggest entertainer in the UK, and tonight he proved he can do anything. Anyone can do what he did, they just gotta have the determination and drive to do it. Fair play what a guy Olajide Olatunji is pic.twitter.com/lr87WkwlCU
