IShowSpeed was reduced to tears by KSI prematurely ending their charity sparring session after flooring his fellow YouTube sensation. The social media duo were raising money for the Anthony Walker Foundation by live-streaming their bout to 500,000 viewers.<\/p>\n

The stream was purposely timed to coincide with Jake Paul\u2019s fight against Andre August. Paul later accused KSI of \u201cchasing views\u201d in a cutting riposte.<\/p>\n

KSI has fought eight times while this was one of the first occasions in which Speed had entered a boxing ring. The difference in experience showed as Speed was knocked down each time KSI landed a proper blow.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old KSI, who has long been tipped to fight against Paul, ended the sparring session prematurely. It had initially been scheduled for six rounds but he wished to show Speed mercy.<\/p>\n

He said: “It takes a big man to get in the ring with me. Many have tried, many have failed and according to judges, someone was victorious.”<\/p>\n

KSI hopped over the rope but an emotional Speed began to cry. The 18-year-old – known for his fanatical obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo – paced around the ring begging KSI to see out their six rounds.<\/p>\n

Speed pleaded: “It’s not over yet. Get back in the ring.”<\/p>\n

However, KSI was insistent that the fight was over after three rounds and told Speed to use the session to \u2018fuel\u2019 him to take part in the sport. “I’m proud of you, you did a huge thing. We had over 100,000 watching our spar. I want you to take this and let it fuel you,\u201d the musician and YouTuber said.<\/p>\n

“You know what? With your tenacity I’m going to tap out. You win.”<\/p>\n
