KSI has successfully established himself as a popular boxer who can sell tickets because of his massive social media influence. The Brit Youtuber got famous on the internet by making vines and being a part of the ‘Sidemen’ group. With time, KSI tried his luck in various other ventures such as music and boxing and everything has worked pretty well for him.
His boxing career got attention after having a beef with American-based Youtuber Logan Paul and after that, it has just gone upwards. After beating Paul in 2019, KSI recently went on to fight to win three consecutive exhibition bouts.
Despite not being called ‘real boxers’, KSI and other YouTube boxers have definitely brought in new viewers to the sport and are doing pretty good PPV numbers. Recently, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury put on a great show in Saudi Arabia and the hype around these influencers turned boxers is amazing. The new era of boxing entertainment has already started as it’s been attracting a lot of fans throughout the world. Superstars from different sports are also taking part in these events. UFC superstars such as Nate Diaz, and Francis Ngannou are some of the big names who are also anticipated to participate soon.
Who is KSI’s next opponent?
Currently, there has been a lot of anticipation among the fans about KSI’s next opponent. Recently in an interview with MMA reporter, Ariel Helani, KSI shed light on his upcoming fights and potential opponents. According to the boxer, he is looking forward to fighting Joe Fournier or even former UFC champion, Tyron Woodley.
“I feel like me fighting someone like Joe Fournier makes sense but then it’s like, should I also shut some people up with Woodley?” KSI mentioned. “Yeah, I’m looking towards Joe on May 13th. Wembley, yeah.”
Joe Fournier and KSI have been going back and forth on social media platforms for some time. On top of that, fans also want KSI to beat Fournier’s 10-fight win streak. Woodley on the other hand is a former UFC Champion and still hasn’t recovered from his loss against Jake Paul. But it seems like KSI will most probably be going to fight Fournier in May.
