With the JJ "KSI" vs. Swarmz boxing event right around the corner, during an interview involving the duo, YouTuber Joe Weller was seen charging at the Sidemen member.
On Friday, August 26, British rapper Big Zuu and podcast host True Geordie were in the middle of asking KSI some questions. This was when Joe Weller started approaching JJ. He was the latter's first opponent and is widely regarded as one of the content creators who started the entire trend of influencer boxing.
Considering that Joe was beaten fair and square by KSI back in 2018, fans believe that his decision to try and spark another rivalry was an attempt to get some clicks. Though not the only individual to do so, one Twitter user mocked Joe for charging at JJ, saying:
"Just really embarrassing Joe."
