Wayne Bridge no longer set to fight KSI
The footballer shared a statement on Instagram, revealing that he was pulling out of the fight.
I’m sure a lot of you have seen what happened on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event.
Initially, let me clarify why I agreed to this bout. It’s because I enjoy testing my limits and this seemed like a great chance to face off against an intriguing adversary in a grand setting.
For years, boxing has been an integral aspect of my daily workout regimen that I genuinely enjoy. I geared up for a challenging and enjoyable training session on Saturday. While I anticipated constructive criticism, the comments made during that day seemed unfairly harsh to me.
These remarks have a profound impact on me and other families connected to this circumstance, as I prioritize my role as a family member above all else and strive to safeguard their wellbeing.
The individual who is admired by numerous children globally, even my own, is currently my adversary. It’s my fervent wish that someday, he may reconsider our interactions. Personally, I prefer to steer clear of such confrontations.
On the 29th of March, I won’t be engaged in any ongoing battles anymore. However, I’m actively seeking my next major undertaking, and there are some thrilling prospects ahead in the year 2025.
Appreciation for your kindness. The outpouring of support has left me speechless. I’d like my loved ones to understand their unique importance in my life. Deep within, I believe that this is the correct path to take.
Wayne Bridge’s statement
What did KSI say about Wayne Bridge?
The controversy stemmed from comments made in 2009, which were connected to a past event involving Wayne Bridge and his former girlfriend, Vanessa Perroncel. It was alleged that while she was dating him, Vanessa had an affair with John Terry, one of Bridge’s teammates at Chelsea.
Regarding them, the incident seems to be behind them, yet KSI’s remarks have evidently stirred up feelings in Bridge, as he states that KSI “stepped over the boundary.
During a confrontation in the ring at the Misfits boxing event, YouTube (KSI) made this remark to Bridge: “Weren’t you the one who allowed John Terry to break up with your girlfriend?
Additional remarks were shared, with KSI inciting the audience to cheer about a rumored relationship. Consequently, the scheduled match has been canceled. It’s probable that KSI will find a different adversary for his upcoming bout. Keep an eye out for further updates.
