KSI will take on Faze Temperrr on Saturday night, after MMA fighter Dillon Danis pulled out of a pay-per-view headliner with the YouTuber.
Temperrr boxed three times in 2022, and returns to the ring for his fourth fight in just over 10 months to face KSI on just 10 days' notice. He initially lost to King Kenny in his debut, but the result was overturned to a victory by unanimous decision, before he was knocked out by Slim Albaher in August and returned with a first round KO of Overtflow in November.
The bout will see KSI make his third appearance in the ring since coming back in August, and despite not being the test expected from Danis, will be a step up from his last outing. He faces a bigger southpaw opponent who has boxed and won multiple times in the last year, making for an interesting match-up.

KSI: “Dillon didn't want the smoke. Found someone who does. My focus won't be distracted from the task at hand and that's FaZe Temper. We've come head-to-head plenty of times with the Sidemen and FaZe Clan competing against each other, and it looks like we have another challenge on our hands. Credit to Temper for stepping up like a REAL fighter."
Faze Temperrr: A life-changing year. Grateful. I was lost & I found my way. God blessed me with an incredible partner / best friend. Made lifelong friends. My company went public. A lot can change in a year. The most important conversation you will ever have is in your mind. Love y’all."
