Ex-Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage was at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday as British YouTuber KSI returned to the ring in a double-header bout against rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Pineda. KSI, who previously defeated fellow YouTubers Logan Paul and Joe Weller, saw off both of his opponents on fight night.
However, during his appearance at the event, Mr Farage suggested Boris Johnson could tempt him into the ring.
When asked by Fred Talks Fighting if he would spar with Mr Johnson, the former UKIP leader jokingly said: “I can deal with him.
“Boris, if you’re listening now, let’s do it.”
In a clip shared to social media platform TikTok, one user even billed the potential bout as the “Battle of Brexit”.
Farage, who described himself as a “big boxing fan”, also praised the event as an “anti-establishment” spectacle and revealed he “admires” KSI.

Speaking about the event on his GB News show, Mr Farage added: “I’m guessing that virtually nobody in the Westminster media or politics will have spotted it, but, these influencers like KSI, followed by millions and millions of people are actually providing pretty good role models to our young people.
“They are a counter to the left-wing propaganda that is being fed to our youngsters through our schools and our universities.
“It was for me a really fascinating, transformative moment.
“I’ve seen out there that there is a big upwelling of millions of young people that are quite patriotic, quite decent.
“Something really, really interesting is going on here.
“Politically, there are millions of young people that will be voting in the next general election, and the one after, and these influencers could have a major impact on millions and millions of votes.”
During his time as Brexit Party leader, Mr Farage established a friendship with Zimbabwean-born heavyweight Dereck Chisora.
Chisora, also known as Del Boy, has won 33 out of his 45 fights and even joined Mr Farage at a rally ahead of the 2019 EU Parliamentary Elections.
In recent years, politicians of all stripes have put the gloves on while on the campaign trail.

Mr Johnson, Mr Farage and ex-Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson did so ahead of polls in 2019.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also got to grips with a punchbag during a visit to Hull in April 2021.
However, Mr Farage’s fight night outburst is not the first time he has taken aim at the outgoing Prime Minister during Mr Johnson’s final days in Downing Street.
The former UKIP MEP previously said: “The legacy historically will be he was the Prime Minister who oversaw Brexit but actually it all finished up as a terrible waste.”
