That is what you are known for,” said KSI in a comment that cost him the fight.However, in a recent taping of the Sidemen podcast, KSI revealed that he has since apologised to Bridge.“I privately DM’d him,” he said. “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…“Wayne Bridge, I’m sorry. I’ve told you in DMs anyway but yeah, my bad.”This comes after Bridge took to social media to release the following statement: “I’m sure a lot of you have seen what happened on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event.“Firstly, I think it’s important that I explain my reason for accepting the fight.GETTYKSI is now set to box Danis on March 29[/caption]“I always like to challenge myself.
