Despite a spirited effort, Swarmz was unable to overcome the odds against KSI in the first of two bouts for the British YouTube star tonight. KSI — whose real name is JJ Olatunji — stopped the rapper in the second round as Swarmz ran and span around the ring.
Prior to the fight, True Geordie affirmed that Swarmz “had more chance of finding a winning lottery ticket on the way to the ring than winning the fight,” and the YouTube commentator wasn’t far off in his estimation. Coming in on 20 days’ notice with no prior boxing experience, Swarmz was a heavy underdog and victory was always a tall order.
As the fight commenced, Swarmz went into survival mode almost instantly after a clean right hand snapped back his head in the opening few seconds of the contest. But the novice boxer appeared to be enjoying himself as he laughed and jeered at his opponent.
Those actions would come back to bite him, however, when he was sent tumbling to the canvas by another straight right.
Dusting himself off and getting back to his feet, Swarmz shocked many by seeing out the opener. As the second round began, Swarmz spun around and ran away from The Nightmare with Todd Grisham likening him to a “human carousel.”
