In a video posted to social media, 'The Problem Child' messaged KSI - whose real name is Olajide William Olatunji, saying, "Oh, KSI Fight Man, I heard the news it sucks for Alex obviously he's got a concussion he can't fight but now it puts KSI in a corner if he doesn't accept the fight with me we all know he has scared. KSI I'll come to London, I'll be 180 lbs for the fight, you can be the A side, what's your excuse? Do you accept?"

Speaking on the latest episode of his show, Keemstar said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is breaking news. Wassabi is injured. Now I heard two different injuries, I heard concussions, I heard a It comes from a source close to Wassabi camp.

"I have another source close to Wassabi's camp. That's what's happening right now. I double-checked, crossed my t's, dotted my i's on it. Wassabi is injured. And there's a fear right now that he won't be fighting KSI on August 27."
