Anthony Joshua has told KSI the key to beating Logan Paul is to remain calm in training.
KSI and Logan go to toe-to-toe again this weekend in Los Angeles, 14 months after their first fight which ended in a draw.
The rematch is being promoted by Eddie Hearn and aired on pay-per-view, with KSI seeking out advice from Great Britain’s heavyweight boxing superstar, Joshua.
KSI revealed AJ had given him so words of wisdom ahead of his second showdown with Logan.
‘He’s just told me to train hard, remain focused and be calm,’ the YouTuber told Behind the Gloves. ‘Be calm and relaxed in the gym.
‘Even when I was training out there [in front of the public] I was relaxed.
‘Obviously there was shouting and this and that, but I was calm. Calm and collected.
‘I know what I need to do. I’m in full zen, I’m ready.’
Logan and KSI fight this Saturday at the Staples Center in LA, with pro fighters Billy Joe Saunders and Devin Haney on the undercard.
The fight has received a mixed reception from the boxing world, but KSI thinks he has the ability to beat pro fighters.
‘I’m obsessed with boxing, I couldn’t say that two or three years ago, but now I’ve got such a hunger for the sport,’ he told Sky Sports.
‘I plan on doing more fights, why would I stop, I’m in the best shape of my life. It works well with what I’ve got in mind.
‘I don’t ever think I’ll become a world champion, but I can definitely fight other pro boxers and beat them.
‘I’ll take opportunities that make sense before I get to the point where I decide to hang the gloves up.
‘I have hidden power and now, without headguards, I will go in there and knock [Logan Paul] out.
‘I haven’t knocked someone out properly before, I have in sparring, but not in front of the world.’
