The Big Question: How interested are you in the boxing match between YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul?

THE PANEL:

Wayne Alexander (Former European super-welterweight champion)

Iโ€™m not interested at all. Anyone is entitled to lace up the gloves if they want to but there are levels and these two are white-collar level and havenโ€™t earned the right to call themselves professional fighters, let alone headline over a world title fight. The internet is a good thing, but it can make people think that they are โ€˜superstarsโ€™ when theyโ€™re not.

Callum Johnson (Former British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion)

Doesnโ€™t interest me at all but I would watch it if it was on and I was doing nothing else. A lot of people moan they get all this exposure that most boxers work towards all their life and donโ€™t get anywhere near, but good luck to them. They have created their own hype, so they fully deserve it.

Declan Warrington (Boxing journalist)

Precisely none. The only way Iโ€™ll end up paying any attention at all is if Iโ€™m told thereโ€™s a comical knockout that shouldnโ€™t be missed. I understand the appeal for those involved, but I hope itโ€™s the last of these types of fights we see.

Ryan Walsh (Current British featherweight champion)

Happy to say Iโ€™ll be in Disneyland Paris when that novelty takes place. Iโ€™ll hopefully find some YouTube footage of the undercard. I like Billy Joe Saunders and Iโ€™m interested to see how Devin Haney gets on. As for the fight between YouTubers, I didnโ€™t watch the first and I wonโ€™t watch the second, but my kids will no doubt tell me the result.
