KSI was left stunned after his Misfits Boxing event was evacuated mid-fight over a swatting incident.
Misfits Boxing 13 took place at the Worldwide Stages arena in Tennessee.
But the event was halted during the second round of a fight between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang as the building had to be evacuated following reports of a possible bomb threat.
KSI claimed the event was “swatted” – an internet prank which entails a hoax phone call reporting a serious crime to emergency services, leading to a SWAT team being deployed.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer took to X to update fans on what was happening.
He initially tweeted: “I’ve never seen an event that I’m watching LIVE, get swatted. America’s different
“Whoever called in the bomb threat, well played.
“You’ve now just made Misfits 13 one of the most talked about events ”
The event resumed following an 80-minute delay as KSI warned the culprit would be found and punished accordingly.
He added: “The event is back plus the swatter is gonna get sued and arrested. Long day. VPNs won’t save you ”

Misfits commentator Todd Grisham issued an update on social media after the event was suspended.
He said: “We apologize for that brief delay. Basically what happened is the local law enforcement authorities out of an abundance of caution asked everyone to clear the arena so they could do an in-depth security check.
“They did that and have been given the all-clear so we will continue the show.”
The fight between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang was ruled a no-contest after the delay but the three other fights scheduled for the card went ahead.
