KSI IShowSpeed: WATCH: KSI's kick-up challenge to IShowSpeed backfires badly

The highly anticipated Sidemen Charity Match 2023 is gearing up, as KSI and IShowSpeed hinted at Speed's return for this year's event through Twitter exchanges. Speed's unforgettable performance in last year's match left fans clamoring for more.

In a recent YouTube upload, the Briton decided to test IShowSpeed's skills by challenging him to perform 20 kickups without letting the ball touch the ground. If Speed succeeded, he would earn an invitation to the charity match.

Speed, determined to prove his worth, promptly posted a video on Twitter showcasing his ball control and successfully completing the challenge.

The footage caught KSI's attention, who wasted no time in congratulating Speed and officially welcoming him to the Sidemen Charity Match.

However, an unexpected twist occurred when KSI himself attempted the challenge. In a recent video, the popular YouTuber and boxer struggled to maintain control, barely managing five kickups. It took numerous failed attempts before he eventually reached the desired 20 kickups.
