TikToker Bryce Hall challenged YouTuber KSI to a boxing match as the creators feud online
- TikToker Bryce Hall and YouTuber KSI have been trading blows on Twitter over the past two weeks.
- Hall is set to fight YouTuber Austin McBroom in an upcoming YouTubers vs. TikTokers boxing event.
- Hall has publicly challenged KSI to a boxing match after his match against McBroom.
Ahead of his upcoming match against "ACE Family" YouTube star Austin McBroom, TikToker Bryce Hall has set his sights on another target: KSI, the YouTuber who famously defeated Logan Paul in a split-decision victory in 2019.
A boxing feud has been brewing between Hall, a 21-year-old influencer with nearly 20 million followers on TikTok, and KSI, a 27-year-old YouTuber with approximately 12.7 million subscribers.
KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, is no stranger to the influencer-boxer scene. His 2018 match against Joe Weller marked the beginning of the YouTuber boxing craze, USA Today reported.
It's unclear exactly where the feud between Hall and KSI started, but it bubbled over on May 18 in a series of tweets that the two personalities exchanged.
"KSI just said he would f-ck me up in the ring HAHAHHAAH i wouldn't wanna ruin the fitht you've been dodging with jake just because you lost to a tiktoker," Hall tweeted the afternoon of the 18th.
"You're literally easy work. Who do you think you're talking to?" KSI responded in a quote tweet.
KSI has had notable boxing feuds with Paul and his brother, Jake. In early 2020, Jake said he wanted to "avenge" his brother Logan's loss in his own fight with KSI, but the pair have yet to fight.
As the pair continued to spar on Twitter on May 18, Hall referenced those feuds, saying that KSI was "scared of jake paul" and KSI firing back that Hall was a "Jake Paul wannabe." That particular exchange ended with KSI saying they could talk after Hall won his fight with McBroom.
Later that day, KSI tweeted a photo of Hall sparring with McBroom at a press conference for the "Battle of the Platforms" event.
Hall said in a TMZ Sports interview on May 19 that he wanted to continue fighting after his June 12 match with McBroom and face off against KSI next. In a May 22 tweet, Hall declared that his next fight would be against KSI, while fellow TikTok creator Tayler Holder's would be against Deji, KSI's brother and a fellow YouTuber.
On Wednesday, Hall posted a video on YouTube titled "A MESSAGE TO KSI AND FRIENDS" alongside Holder. said Hall that KSI was "overweight to be fighting" and "fat."
A match between KSI and Hall does not appear to be scheduled at press time. KSI and Hall did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
Hall is set to fight McBroom, a founder of the mega-popular "ACE Family" vlog channel, in a boxing event that's being marketed as "Battle of the Platforms." The June pay-per-view event will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens and will feature other creators including Holder, Michael Le, and FaZe Jarvis, each of whom is aligned with either "Team TikTok" or "Team YouTube."
