KSI has revealed that his sparring partners were offered £5,000 to try and knock him out in the build-up to his fight with Tommy Fury.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was controversially beaten by Fury in Manchester last month.
KSI hired a legal team to appeal the result, which was upgraded from a majority decision to a unanimous decision victory for Fury due to an error on one of the judges' scorecards.
He has spoken out on the loss in an interview on Logan Paul's "Impaulsive podcast, in which he was asked about his coaches offering to pay his sparring partners if they could successfully KO him.
KSI confirmed the speculation as he said: 'Yeah, a five grand bonus. Yeah man, it was pretty ridiculous! I heard it only near the end of the camp, so they didn't tell me obviously.
