Logan Paul trainer Shannon Briggs could be BANNED from corner for KSI fight after bust-up with Viddal Riley at weigh-in
LOGAN PAUL’S trainer Shannon Briggs could be BANNED from his corner for the KSI fight tonight after a sensational bust-up at their weigh-in.
The ex-heavyweight star clashed with his YouTube’s rivals coach Viddal Riley in a heated confrontation in Los Angles, US.
According to reports, KSI’s team are trying to get the California Commission to stop Briggs from being with Paul for their bout at the Staples Center.
Jeff Mayweather, part of the Brit’s team, said: “What happened was, Shannon actually punched Viddal Riley’s cousin.
“And he punched him in the face.
“When you seen that video where Viddal was trying everything he could in his power to get loose, you know to try and get at Shannon, that’s what happened.
“The one thing is that, Shannon probably won’t be in the corner tonight.
“We’re trying to talk to the commission about what he did.
“I mean, it made no sense, because he also pushed Amer.
“It’s so stupid, like I said everything’s about him.
