Fans think KSI went 'too far' with a comment about John Terry while facing off with former Chelsea star Wayne Bridge at the latest Misfits event.
It was reported by The Sun on Saturday that Bridge is considering whether to have his first professional boxing match on a future edition of Misfits.
The ex-Chelsea and Manchester City left-back is said to have been training with Premier League winner Danny Simpson, who had a split draw against YouTuber Danny Aarons in August.

Bridge, 44, retired from professional football after a spell with then-Championship side Reading in 2014.
He was in the crowd for the Misfits 20 event at the Co-op Live in Manchester, which was headlined by Darren Till's victory over Anthony Taylor.
KSI calls out Bridge
After the main event, KSI called Bridge out to the ring and the pair had a heated face-off.
But in goading Bridge, the YouTube star made a shocking comment about Bridge's relationship with his former partner and allegations that she had an affair with John Terry - allegations that she has always denied.
After the comment, Bridge replied: "You want to go there straight away do you?"

KSI then said: "I'm pretty sure that's what you're known for," before then leading the crowd in attendance into a chant.
A fight against KSI - which was confirmed after the event finished - will not be Bridge's first experience of a boxing ring.
In 2018, he took on Made In Chelsea's Spencer Matthews in a special exhibition bout for Comic Relief, securing a unanimous decision victory after three two-minute rounds.
KSI, meanwhile, hasn't stepped into the ring since October 2023 when he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Tommy Fury at the Manchester Arena.
