KSI is making his return to boxing very soon, with tickets to his upcoming bout against Alex Wassabi officially on sale.
It will be the rapper and YouTuber’s first fight since his rematch against Logan Paul in November 2019 – so fans will be glued to the ring to see if the star’s still got it.
Brit Award winner KSI – real name Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji – will face off against Alex Wassabi at the O2 in London on August 27, almost three years after he last stepped into the ring.
Much like Logan, KSI’s last opponent, Alex is a YouTuber, and he previously fought and won against the star’s younger brother, Deji.
For fans wanting to experience the fight in person, tickets are on sale from 10am on Saturday July 9. Once again, the fight will also be streamed worldwide on DAZN.
Ahead of the big bout, the pair have had fighting talk, with KSI, 29, saying: ‘I can’t wait to repeatedly punch the man I’ve had beef with for years, the man I’ve laughed at for years, the man that beat my brother this year, the man that has essentially signed his death wish as soon as we enter the ring.

‘He told the world that he would beat me if I was at his weight. HAHAHA. I can’t wait to make him regret those words repeatedly with my fists. I’m a different animal and you will realise that fact on August 27th.’
Alex, 32, hit back: ‘One brother couldn’t give me the challenge I crave. let’s see if big bro has what it takes. August 27th big deji will regret stepping into my weight class #KSIWassabi.’

KSI first fought in an amateur match against Joe Weller in 2018. Later that year, he faced Logan for the first time, with the bout being declared a draw.
Their rematch took place the next year, with KSI coming out on top.
Since, he’s been focusing on his music career, releasing his debut studio album and seeing huge success with various hits including Down Like That, and Holiday.
As for if he’ll be victorious again, only time will tell…
