YouTuber KSI is set to make his return to boxing, after a nearly three-year break from the ring. The 28-year-old’s most recent fight came against rival YouTuber Logan Paul in November 2019.
KSI’s boxing comeback has been on the cards for some time. He announced last June that he'd linked up with Wasserman Promotions to form Misfits Boxing, a promotional firm, and he has now confirmed the date of his next fight.
The Watford-born star is perhaps best known to boxing fans for his two bouts against Logan Paul, who subsequently went on to fight former five-division world heavyweight champion Floyd Mayweather. But when is KSI’s next fight - and who else has he fought?

When is KSI's next boxing fight?
KSI's next fight will take place on August 27. He announced the date on Twitter, simply tweeting "I’m back," along with a video of his boxing highlight reel - at the end of which the date of his next fight was revealed.
However, he hasn’t yet confirmed who he will fight in August, or where the fight will take place.
Who has KSI fought so far?
KSI made his boxing debut back in 2018 against his fellow British YouTuber Joe Weller. The amateur bout followed Twitter spats and diss tracks between the two, and saw KSI seal a third-round win by technical knockout.
He then fought his first fight against Logan Paul - a white-collar amateur contest - in February 2018, with the bout ending in a draw. They met again in September 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with KSI defeating Paul by split decision.
Although KSI hasn't fought again since then, he's kept himself busy in the meantime. In 2021, he released his second album - All Over the Place - which went to number one in the UK albums chart and has since been certified gold.
