KSI sets date for YouTube boxing stadium fight as star outlines Jake Paul goal

KSI has vowed to secure a stadium fight by the end of the year - and wants bitter rival Jake Paul to be in the opposite corner.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - has made a return to boxing in recent months as he resumes his quest to settle his dispute with Paul. The British star will return in a bumper clash against professional fighter Joe Fournier on May 13 at Wembley Arena in the toughest test of his YouTube boxing career to date.

A win for the content creator could see him thrust into some big fights including a shot against Paul, or a potential British mega-fight with Tommy Fury. It was originally agreed Paul would step into the ring with KSI later this year on social media, as the pair decided to make public a winner-takes-all plan to fight at Wembley.
