Astrid Wett, an OnlyFans model and TikToker, went to snub a kiss from KSI. KSI and Astrid Wett went viral last year as the Prime Hydration co-owner just narrowly missed a kiss from the OnlyFans star. The YouTuber quickly leaned back to avoid an unexpected advancement from Astrid during weigh-ins for the Jay Swingler vs. Cherdleys boxing event — which the internet went crazy over.
Who tried to kiss KSI?
KSI claims that he disregarded a kiss from OnlyFans actress Astrid Wett because he has matured from his former YouTube personality and dislikes public shows of affection. The YouTuber-turned-boxer served as a promoter for Misfits Boxing's sophomore event in Sheffield on Saturday night, and he was present for all of the fight week celebrations.
Press conference handbags and bizarre happenings have become the standard for YouTube boxing, but he couldn't have been prepared for the female fighter's antics on stage. While Wett's rival Keeley Colbran speculated that Wett had a boyfriend she kept hidden for her career, the OnlyFans model decided to prove her innocence by planting a kiss on KSI. During an awkward encounter, however, he ducked out of the way and left her red-faced.
Who is Astrid Wett?
Samantha Bullimore Wilmot, also known as Astrid Wett, is a British TikToker, Instagrammer, YouTuber, digital developer, model, and social media star. As of 2023, Astrid Wett's net worth is $2 million, and she has almost 470,000 fans on her TikTok account. She continues communicating with her followers by posting lovely photos and posts on her @wettastrid Instagram account, where she has amassed thousands of followers.
What were KSI’s thoughts on the entire ordeal?
KSI noted that he likely would have been in serious trouble had the roles been reversed between the pair. He joked, “If the roles were reversed, I would probably be in prison right now. Or else I would be severely canceled, and I would have lost many brand deals, people wouldn't want to work with me anymore, and it'd be mad for me. But it's fine.”
The moment went viral across social media and was the top topic on several posts on KSI's official Reddit page, where he gets content for his videos. After the incident, Wett said: “It broke my heart, but I understand; it's ok. I mean, he's a good-looking man; if I had the opportunity, why wouldn't you?”
How did KSI become a boxer?
KSI has been boxing since 2017. After a period of public disagreements, KSI began his amateur boxing career fighting British YouTuber Joe Weller. He won this fight, demonstrating his respect for Weller and his dedication to raising awareness about mental health. Later that year, he faced Logan Paul in a white-collar boxing match, which ended in a majority draw.
After switching to professional boxing, KSI fought Logan Paul in a much-anticipated fight in 2019. This time, the fight was without headgear, and KSI prevailed by a split decision. KSI also took part in many professional competitions, including ones against Alex Wassabi, Swarmz, Luis Alcaraz Pineda, and FaZe Temperrr.
He continued his professional boxing career by fighting businessman and professional boxer Joe Fournier, but this match ended in controversy and was later ruled a no contest. Most recently, KSI headlined a match against professional boxer Tommy Fury on October 14, 2023. The closely contested fight featured excessive clinching, which resulted in KSI's loss and the title via unanimous decision. The decision was initially reported as a majority decision due to an error in judge Rafael Ramos' scorecard.
On December 5, 2023, it was announced that KSI and IShowSpeed would fight in a charity sparring match, ending a year-long banter rivalry. Speed made a challenge to KSI on November 28, 2023, urging him to set up a date for the fight. The scheduled spar is scheduled for December 15th, 2023, with the proceeds benefiting the Anthony Walker Foundation. It's planned to be streamed simultaneously with the Jake Paul vs. Andre August fight, as an attempt to boycott the rival's fight.
