KSI and Swarmz will settle their rap beef in the opening fight of the night at The O2 arena in London, before the YouTuber heads back into the ring hours later for another bout.
The pair were once pals and recorded the top ten hit Houdini in 2020, which at the time was KSI's highest charting single. However, their relationship turned sour due to issues with promotional appearances for the record and they have now opted to settle their differences in the ring.
KSI was due to face Alex Wassabi in his boxing return after the American beat his brother Deji in March and has had to settle for an opponent with much less experience. In order to give fans value despite his lower level of competition, KSI will take on two fighters on the night, with Swarmz first up.

KSI on fighting Andrew Tate
"I don't know if DAZN will allow Andrew Tate on their card," KSI told media at his final press conference on Thursday. "But if they're down, then yeah, maybe that could be another option for my next few fights.
"I think he has a lot of good points when it comes to hard work and success and being strong when it comes to working out. But I think his views on women are completely skewed and terrible, I don't want for my girlfriend to be a servant or a slave, I want someone who will challenge me and show me what's right and wrong. I want someone that I can enjoy life with and not try to control.
"For me, I've got a lot of options but its about whether or not DAZN would allow someone like Andrew Tate to be on. Obviously Andrew Tate has a few negative connotations with him and right now he's been banned from most social media, so it's whether DAZN want to be involved with that."
Swarmz
"I've got a question for all of you KSI fans; do you really think that this doughnut, who never takes his bandana off his fat head, is going to beat me? Swarmz is the guy to know you out August 27, mate."
