With the JJ "KSI" vs. Swarmz boxing event right around the corner, during an interview involving the duo, YouTuber Joe Weller was seen charging at the Sidemen member.

Considering that Joe Weller was beaten fair and square by KSI back in 2018, fans believe that his decision to try and spark another rivalry was an attempt to get some clicks. Though not the only individual to do so, one Twitter user mocked Joe for charging at JJ, saying:
Historically, both KSI and Joe Weller used to be friends before their online beef, resulting in an exhibition boxing match.

Viewers seemed to be on JJ's side, with most people claiming that Joe Weller was just trying to draw attention to himself.
