KSI’s electrifying spar with IShowSpeed coincides with the face-off between Jake Paul and professional boxer Andre August on the same night. The tension and rivalries are reaching a boiling point, and KSI, unrelenting in his taunts, adds fuel to the fire as he stakes his claim in the spotlight.
Beyond the riveting entertainment that promises to captivate audiences, the anticipated spar carries a deeper purpose. KSI and IShowSpeed have pledged to raise crucial funds with all donations and YouTube ad revenue going to the Anthony Walker Foundation. Standing with us in solidarity as a beacon against racism and hate crime, challenging prejudice, discrimination, inequality and instead promoting peace, harmony, and integrity.
Kaushik Mistry, CEO of the Anthony Walker Foundation says: “Dr Gee Walker MBE, Anthony’s mother and our founder has taken KSI under her wing.
In acknowledgement of the pervasive reality of racism and various forms of hate and discrimination that persist in our society, we, as a charity, recognise the importance of addressing these issues in all areas of life. From schools to workplaces, and public spaces, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the challenges that lie before us. Racism thrives when we turn a blind eye!
Recent events, including KSI’s own prior regrettable incident involving racist terminology which he has since apologised for, have underscored the profound impact such actions can have on individuals and communities. In alignment with our Foundation’s principles, we are steadfast in our support for KSI on his anti-racism journey, as he endeavours to create a positive legacy that transcends past mistakes.
While the path to forgiveness and compassion may not be easy for many, we believe in the transformative power of collective effort and understanding. Speaking from personal experience, we acknowledge the difficulty of this journey, yet we hold fast to the belief that what once seemed impossible can become a possible through faith, perseverance, and collaboration.
The whole Walker family extends our deepest gratitude to KSI, IShowSpeed and all those who have shown support, kindness, and belief in our mission. “It is this unwavering support that keeps the spirit of Anthony, our beloved son, alive. Through your collective efforts, we aim to foster hope not just for the now but for the future.”
The Walker family commitment to ensuring Anthony’s legacy lives on with positivity and impact is echoed in the foundation’s mission. Through educational initiatives, victim support services, and advocacy for equity and inclusion, the Anthony Walker Foundation stands at the forefront of the battle against societal ills. As we navigate this journey towards anti-racism, let us stand united in our commitment to positive change leaving a lasting legacy that inspires generations to come.
KSI, in a statement that underscores his commitment to social responsibility, shares: “This, the start of my journey with the Anthony Walker Foundation has been enlightening, and I am dedicated to leveraging this platform to promote racial harmony through education, sport, the arts, and support for those who have experienced hate crime.”
IShowSpeed says: “Honoured to be able to support this great charity that does so much good by simply knocking out KSI.”
