Former England footballer Wayne Bridge has withdrawn from his upcoming bout with YouTuber KSI after KSI made comments about Bridge's ex-girlfriend's alleged affair with former teammate John Terry. Bridge cited his family as his priority and stated that KSI's remarks crossed a line. This incident revives the 2010 controversy that led to Terry losing his England captaincy and Bridge leaving the national squad.
Former England footballer Wayne Bridge has pulled out of his fight with KSI after the YouTuber "crossed the line" with remarks about his ex-girlfriend's alleged affair with former team-mate John Terry."I'm a family man first and my priority is protecting them. Of course, I expected to face some criticism, but I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed a line."
Bridge, 44, is now married and has two children with his wife Frankie, who was a singer with girl group The Saturdays."I hope one day he will look back on this differently. I personally don't want to be involved in these exchanges. Deep down I know this is the right thing to do."Bridge, who won 36 England caps and played for Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Manchester City.
KSI, whose real name is Olajide William Olatunji, has fought on several occasions, including against Tommy Fury in 2023.
