Wayne Bridge Withdraws from KSI Match

English boxer Wayne Bridge (44 years old), who transitioned to professional boxing after finishing his football career, highlighted a scheduled fight on March 29 against his rival due to comments made by KSI at a press conference before the bout. KSI accused Bridge of previously stealing a girl from John Terry, to which Bridge responded with a challenge to fight.

KSI escalated the atmosphere, saying: "I am sure that this is exactly what made you famous." He then turned to the audience and shouted: "Vanessa!" This referred to the fact that Wayne Bridge, who decided to retire from boxing after finishing his football career in 2014, highlighted a previous incident with KSI, stating that, in his opinion, the rival crossed the line.
