IShowSpeed has publicly called out KSI for a boxing rematch, and KSI has already accepted. The back and forth played out on X on 20 April 2026, with Speed telling KSI he would “whoop” him if they ever fought again.

.@KSI wallahi if we ever fight again i’m whooping your ass😂😂😂 you fought me 4 years ago when i was 17, i’m a grown man man. let’s put the gloves on lil bro and i’m not playing

And KSI responding within hours that he was “down to spar again.”

Haha I’m down to spar again my g 🤣 https://t.co/pkvVWLNTiY

The exchange sets up what could be one of the biggest creator boxing matches in years, reigniting a rivalry that was left unresolved after their 2023 charity sparring session ended early.

How The Callout Started

The flashpoint was a post from streamer JasonTheWeen, who claimed he had gone 10 rounds with KSI in a recent sparring session. KSI quote-reposted it with a pointed comparison, writing, “I gotta give it to him, he did better than speed.”

I gotta give it to him, he did better than speed https://t.co/9qP6Qhd6OD

That comment appears to have lit the fuse. Speed fired back on X within hours, tagging KSI directly and making it clear he wanted another shot.

KSI Vs IShowSpeed: What Happened In 2023

The pair first met in the ring on 15 December 2023, as part of a charity sparring event supporting the Anthony Walker Foundation. Speed was 18 at the time and had no prior boxing experience. KSI, by contrast, had been competing in influencer boxing for roughly four years.

The session was scheduled for six rounds, with Speed wearing headgear. KSI dominated early, dropping Speed multiple times. In the fourth round, KSI chose to stop the spar, citing Speed’s visible exhaustion while praising him for not giving up.

Speed became emotional and pushed to keep going to round six, but KSI declined. Speed left visibly frustrated, reportedly brushing off a post-spar handshake. At the time, the moment looked like the end of the rivalry rather than the start of one.

Why Speed Thinks It’s Different This Time

Speed’s argument is simple: he’s not the same person he was at 17. Since the 2023 spar, he has grown into one of the largest streamers in the world, has been noticeably more physical in his content, and recently made his WrestleMania debut, giving him actual in-ring experience under professional conditions.

He has also had brushes with elite boxing, including a sparring session with Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao during a visit to the Philippines. That’s a level of exposure he didn’t have the first time around, and it’s clearly shaping his confidence heading into any potential rematch.

The Reaction Online

Speed’s post went viral within hours, racking up hundreds of thousands of interactions. The most notable reaction came from MrBeast, who commented that he would bet US$100,000 on Speed if the rematch actually happened.

I’ll bet $100,000 on speed winning

A formal announcement hasn’t been made, and neither side has mentioned a date, venue, or whether the rematch would be another sparring session or a proper exhibition bout.

Where This Fits In The Creator Boxing Boom

A Speed vs KSI rematch would land squarely in the middle of a creator boxing scene that has only grown bigger. Jake Paul’s November 2024 fight with Mike Tyson, streamed live on Netflix, pulled in 108 million viewers globally and peaked at 65 million concurrent streams, making it the most-streamed sporting event in history at the time. The event drew over 72,300 fans to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and generated a live gate of more than US$18.1 million.

Jake followed that up in December 2025 against Anthony Joshua, a fight that still drew 33 million Netflix viewers despite Joshua knocking him out in the sixth round. Logan Paul, meanwhile, has leaned heavily into WWE, further blurring the line between creator content and mainstream combat sports.

A Speed vs KSI rematch wouldn’t need to match those numbers to be considered a hit. Both creators sit at the top of the streaming and YouTube worlds, and the unresolved nature of their first meeting gives the fight a built-in story.

What’s Next

With both sides publicly on board, the ball now sits with the promoters. KSI has a long history of saying yes to high-profile matchups, including his closely contested bout with Tommy Fury, and Speed has rarely shied away from physical challenges since his 2023 loss.

Expect further updates in the coming weeks as conversations around a date, format, and broadcast partner start to firm up.

After days of speculation spiralling across Reddit and X, TenZ has directly addressed allegations surrounding his breakup with Kyedae, firmly denying claims of cheating and calling out what he described as fabricated narratives.

The response comes after a wave of online rumours attempted to reframe the couple’s split as something far messier than both parties had previously stated.

Kyedae Confirmed The Breakup And Set Boundaries Early

On 8 February, Kyedae publicly confirmed that she and TenZ had already been broken up for some time. In a detailed statement, she explained that the relationship ended because they had stopped growing as individuals, not due to betrayal, resentment, or a specific incident.

She described how they had effectively grown up together, moving in weeks after meeting and sharing nearly every aspect of life from ages 17 to 24. Over time, both realised they needed space to develop independently. Kyedae explicitly addressed internet speculation, stating there was no wrongdoing and asking for privacy.

Later that same day, she joked about comments accusing her breakup statement of being AI written, clarifying it was not, and lightly acknowledging how closely people scrutinise every detail online.

TenZ Addressed False Narratives And Defended Kyedae

The following day, 9 February, TenZ posted his own message after noticing what he described as “really weird posts” spreading hate and misinformation.

Hey everyone — I’ve been seeing a lot of really weird posts about Kyedae and me that are creating false narratives and spreading unnecessary hate — it’s really disheartening to see.

We parted on completely mutual terms, and we still care deeply about each other. It honestly…

— TenZ (@TenZOfficial) February 8, 2026

He reiterated that the breakup was mutual and emphasised that they still care deeply about each other. TenZ also pushed back against claims that Kyedae influenced his decision to step away from professional Valorant, stating clearly that he quit of his own accord as his goals changed.

He highlighted how damaging it was to see Kyedae targeted, especially while she continues to deal with ongoing health issues, and asked people to respect their decision rather than manufacture drama.

Reddit Rumours Fueled Cheating Allegations

Despite both statements, speculation continued. On 10 February, posts circulating on Reddit claimed Kyedae had been cheating since December.

One now deleted thread from r/OTVnFriendsDrama, posted around 13 days earlier, listed a series of observations such as Instagram posts being removed, engagement rings no longer appearing on stream, unfollowing activity, and the couple spending holidays apart. The post framed these as evidence something had gone wrong, though none of the claims were confirmed.

Another older deleted Reddit post referenced Kyedae allegedly spending time with the ex of streamer Daph, further fuelling the cheating narrative without direct proof.

TenZ Directly Shut Down The Cheating Claims

Recently, TenZ responded again, this time with visible frustration. He described the ongoing rumours as “genuinely disgusting” and said people were deliberately cropping photos and omitting context to push a cheating story that did not exist.

Okay this is genuinely disgusting that people are still spitting out bullshit onto the timeline. There’s some stuff I am going to clear up since people are just throwing around blind hate to push a narrative that is non-existent. John is a friend of both mine and Kyedae, just… https://t.co/CjmqC3BjtK

— TenZ (@TenZOfficial) February 9, 2026

TenZ clarified that the individual at the centre of the rumours, John, is a mutual friend of both himself and Kyedae. He explained that a trip photo being shared online was misleading, noting he was supposed to attend but cancelled last minute and that another close friend was conveniently cropped out of the image.

He also addressed a separate false claim circulating online that he had donated bone marrow to Kyedae, stating flatly that it never happened. TenZ questioned whether the situation had crossed into rage bait territory, adding that it was rare for him to become emotionally charged by internet hate.

A Final Response With A Hint Of Sarcasm

Shortly after, TenZ followed up with a second post, striking a sharply different tone. He joked that years in esports had made him immune to online hate and sarcastically invited those still projecting to interact with his tweet so he could collect X revenue and “pop champagne” in their honour.

Playing esports made me immune to feeling anything from internet hate. To the people still projecting, please interact with this tweet so I can collect some twitter revenue and pop champagne tonight in honor of you! ❤️ https://t.co/0wBKqxkk7K

— TenZ (@TenZOfficial) February 9, 2026

While the message was lighthearted on the surface, it highlighted how far the situation had drifted from a private breakup into sustained public scrutiny driven by speculation rather than facts.

Both TenZ and Kyedae have remained consistent throughout. They have stated that the relationship ended due to personal growth, not infidelity, and no evidence has emerged to substantiate the cheating allegations despite repeated attempts to revive them online.

Beyond the rumours themselves, the situation reflects a familiar reality for relationships lived in the public eye. Choosing to step away, grow independently, and reclaim personal space is not a failure but often a necessary step forward. For TenZ and Kyedae, that choice belongs to them alone, and the freedom to move on separately will play a defining role in how each continues to grow, both personally and professionally.
