KSI apologizes to Wayne Bridge, boxing match canceled

KSI has publicly apologized to Wayne Bridge following controversial comments he made about Bridge's ex-girlfriend's alleged affair with John Terry, which led to Bridge withdrawing from their planned boxing match. The YouTuber-turned-boxer, aiming to boost pay-per-view sales, had taunted Bridge by asking if he was the one who 'let John Terry smash your ex', which prompted a backlash. In a recent podcast, KSI expressed regret, stating he had sent a private message to Bridge saying, 'I'm not a d***head... but we're selling the fight.' Bridge had previously explained that the jokes crossed a personal line, emphasizing his role as a family man. KSI is now set to fight MMA fighter Dillon Danis after losing to Tommy Fury in October 2023. The incident highlights the thin line between entertainment and personal sensitivity in combat sports promotions.
