KSI is a very popular social media influencer, singer, and influential boxer. He is famous for being in a popular YouTube group ‘Sidemen’ and is also a talented musician.
He has released several songs that have reached the top 40 on the music billboard. Many fans also know that KSI is an influential boxer and the CEO of influential boxing promotions named Misfits. Yesterday, the Misfits event had an eventful day after getting swatted.
KSI Boxing Event Halted after Bomb Threat
On March 23, 2024, Cops stopped the Misfits boxing event and evacuated the arena after getting a bomb threat.
After the second round of the Lil Cracra vs. Yuddy Gang fight, everyone at the Worldwide Stages in Nashville, Tennessee, was asked to leave because of a possible bomb threat on Saturday.

Commentator Todd Grisham notified, “We have been notified by security that there has been some sort of threat or some sort of incident.”
He further added, “They are clearing out the arena, including stopping this fight after two rounds. We have to leave as well. We will take a short break, ensure everything is good, and that everyone is safe… please stay tuned.”
DAZN kept up its live feed of the arena during the delay for several minutes before turning to a promo that stated, “Sorry for the interruption. We’re working to bring your event back as soon as we can.”
KSI reacts to the swatting incident at his boxing event
Being the CEO of the boxing promotions, naturally, KSI was watching what was unfolding before him. The event was held in the USA, which was why he didn’t attend the venue personally. He was amazed that, without any reason, his event was stopped by an alleged bomb threat.
With a tweet, he shared his dismay. KSI tweeted, “I’ve never seen an event I’m watching LIVE get swatted. America’s mad.” He also shared laughing emojis behind his tweet, which showed he was confused and surprised and found the whole situation simply funny.
The Official Misfits event also tweeted the following: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Misfits Boxing is currently working with local authorities. The show will resume imminently.”
The event resumed after 20-minute halts, after which KSI again tweeted that even his back and the swatter were going to get sued. This tweet probably means the swatter or the person spreading the false bomb threat has been identified and now will face legal consequences.
Fans believe Adin Ross was behind the swatting
After the surprising swatting event during KSI’s Misfits boxing event that halted the program for a few minutes, many fans are wondering if it was Adin Ross behind the swatting. Although MIsfits boxing, local promoters, DAZN, and KSI himself have not accused Ross directly, fans are wondering whether directly or indirectly he was involved.
An influencer boxer DTG twitted “Adin Ross fans swatted the event???” where one fan reply was Looks like it, bet they start doing it all the time now as well,
Famous internet journalist Keemstar also shared some tweets about the incident. He wrote, “Misfits reportedly was swatted! The event looks fine on stream, but fans and fighters (are) having difficulty getting into the arena due to the swatting. Was it Adin Ross’ fans who swatted?”
Other than Keemstar, many Twitter followers also thought that Ross was the man behind it. This is primarily due to a recent dispute between KSI and Ross.
KSI and Adin Ross beef due to boxing events
KSI and Ross’s beef has been going viral recently. The pair were on good terms previously, but due to the latter’s new boxing event, they are reportedly not on good terms.
Ross has released new boxing promotions titled Brand Risk promotions, which are reportedly trying to attract the boxers from Misfits.
Ross has tweeted, “It wasn’t KSI directly, but someone from Misfits [Boxing] talked mad things about me. And they were like, ‘Don’t do Adin Ross’ boxing event, it’s not gonna do good’, or some sh*t. Someone at Misfits said that. Kinda crazy, not gonna lie…They’re scared…watch what Brand Risk Promotions does, just watch…I got this.”
However, when the KSI promotions served him with a lawsuit, he responded again and told his fans they were insecure and were not letting him do anything.
