KSI mocks Adin Ross after Kick streamer claims Misfits boxing is suing him
YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Kick: Adin RossYouTube star KSI is hitting out at Kick streamer Adin Ross, who claims that he’s being sued by Misfits Boxing after announcing his own influencer-boxing event.
The influencer-boxing scene is bigger than ever, especially after news of Jake Paul’s upcoming match against Mike Tyson broke the internet on March 7.
However, it seems this town’s only big enough for a few influencer-boxing promotions, as Kick star Adin Ross claims KSI’s Misfits Boxing is suing him after announcing his own forthcoming boxing event.
Ross plans on holding a boxing match between YouTubers Deen the Great and Adam Saleh on March 16, but says Misfits Boxing is scared of the competition in the space.

On March 8, Ross went live on Instagram claiming he’d been served papers by Misfits Boxing in response to his proposed event.
“I’m being sued by Misfits,” he said. “Misfits served me because they’re insecure, and they can’t let me do my own thing. So that is crazy as f*ck, and it’s just sad, bro.”
That’s not all; Adin even uploaded a photo of the supposed legal documents he’d received, which read: “This office has been retained by Wasserman Boxing Limited (“Misfits”) with regards to its exclusive personal rights to the boxer Nurideem Shabazz a/k/a ‘Deen the Great.'”
“These exclusive rights extend to combat sports activities, including exhibitions,” the statement continues.
Essentially, if the documents are legit, Misfits Boxing is claiming exclusive rights to Deen the Great – which means he isn’t able to legally fight under another promotion.
X: AdinRoss, Happy PunchKSI has since responded to Ross’s remarks in a series of memes, tagging the Kick streamer in a photo of the crying laughing and pointing emojis.
“I mean bro, I don’t care personally,” Ross hit back. “I’m still doing it. You can try and sue me and Eddie. I swear to god, I don’t give a f*ck. March 16, Dean vs Adam is happening.”
KSI hit back with another meme video, prompting Ross to hit back with an offensive caricature of a Jewish person.
Thus far, it doesn’t look like the two have spoken out further about the situation, and Ross remains adamant that his boxing event will happen, hell or high water.
