It’s fair to say Speed has caused KSI quite a few headaches in the pastby leaking the YouTuber’s phone numberon several occasions,sometimes even on purpose. However, that hasn’t stopped the two from working together.
Speed has featured in a Sidemen Sunday, and theirannual charity football matchfor the last two years. He’s also evengone blow-for-blow with KSI, where he walked out on top of the bout after the British YouTube star chose to tap out and give him the win.
While it wasn’t a professionally sanctioned fight, the two put on their gloves for a charity spar, raising money for theAnthony Walker Foundation.
In April, Speed was also welcomed into the Prime Squad by Logan Paul and KSI, becoming a sponsored creator. Prime has already signed several major athletes such asNFL star Patrick Mahomes, andManchester City striker Erling Haaland, as well as several sports teamsincluding FC Barcelona.
