2017 was the year of disstracks, 2018 is so far the year of boxing. Whilst the US YouTube scene most likely inspired the UK wave of disstracks, the opposite has happened with boxing. When KSI and Joe Weller broke records and announced a new era for YouTube back in February, the world saw that the UK could still influence the rest, with Logan Paul accepting JJ's challenge to a boxing match after quite frankly hammering Weller an L. August 25th will see KSI and his brother ComedyShortsGamer, otherwise known as Deji, box Logan Paul and Jake Paul respectively. The potential views will be insane, but not before KSI has had another big hit in the form of his documentary, 'Can't Lose'.
The hour long film shows an insight into how JJ prepared for the previous fight against former-friend Joe Weller, including behind the scenes footage of his training, as well as interviews with his close friends, ranging from his boxing trainer Vidal Riley to his parents. JJ himself has shown a much truer version ever since returning from his break early last year, but with 'Can't Lose' you can really see into the man behind the 18 million subscribers.
A couple of moments in particular stand out; without going into too much detail, the pure state of KSI before the fight was extremely interesting to see, as well as the way the documentary ends before the credits roll.
The editing, camera work and music are also all great, the director does a brilliant job. Would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of either KSI the Sidemen or just of boxing in general.
On an ending note, it does concern me how Logan Paul will analyse the documentary, and what he might manage to learn from it, but we will see August 25th.
