KSI's former sparring partner hails "sharp" improvements ahead of return

KSI's infamous former sparring partner FaZe Sensei believes the star has made significant improvement ahead of his ring return.

YouTuber KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - will step back into the squared circle after more than 1,000 days out of action when he takes on rapper Swarmz and professional fighter Luis Alcaraz Pineda in the same night. The British star hasn't fought since his decision victory in a high-profile rematch with Logan Paul back in 2019, and he is now eyeing a big push to reach the pinnacle of YouTube boxing by facing Paul's brother Jake.

During the build-up for his fight with Paul, footage emerged of Olatunji dropping fellow YouTuber FaZe Sensei - real name Isiah Ocasio - in a session that went viral online. After seeing Olatunji in action from training videos and during his open workout, Sensei believes he has looked sharper than ever during preparations. "He has improved a lot and he is a bit lighter now and I like the way he is moving," Ocasio said ahead of Olatunji's ring return.
