KSI revealed he apologised to Wayne Bridge for making an insensitive remark about the ex-footballer's infamous feud with John Terry. The YouTube sensation and former Premier League winner with Chelsea were set for a shock March 29 fight in Manchester.

But after announcing the pay-per-view clash in January - KSI brought up Bridge's controversial past with former Chelsea team-mate Terry. Terry allegedly had an affair with Bridge's ex-partner Vanessa Perroncel in 2009 - something both have always denied.

And after KSI referenced the alleged affair - Bridge pulled out of the fight just days later. KSI explained that he was playing the bad-guy role to help sell PPVs - and sent Bridge a message of apology. He said on his podcast: "I privately DM'd him. And the thing is, I messaged him like, 'Bro, I'm not a d*** head...'.
"But we're selling the fight and I thought he should know that.". KSI added: "Wayne Bridge, I'm sorry. I've told you in DMs anyway but yeah, my bad.". Bridge has an 18-year-old son with ex-Vanessa and withdraw himself from the fight with KSI to avoid any further verbal warfare.

He then sung a crude chant about former model Vanessa - who has always denied ever having an affair with Bridge's former team-mate Terry.
KSI, 31, will now fight replacement Dillon Danis, also 31, at Misfits 21 at the AO Arena. The social media star has not fought since losing to Tommy Fury, 25, in October 2023 which was the first defeat of his career. Danis meanwhile lost his boxing debut to Logan Paul, 29, on the undercard that night.
