KSI shows off impressive 33lb weight loss ahead of YouTuber's two fights tonight

YouTube boxer KSI weighed in at 180lb for tonight's double header of return fights; 33lb down from his January peak weight.

The Watford native, whose real name is JJ Olatunji, had ballooned to 213lb by January of this year, and has since dropped a huge amount of weight as he prepares for the first of a series of fights he hopes will lead to a Jake Paul grudge fight. Two-and-a-half years ago, the pair almost fought, but the coronavirus pandemic cut KSI's boxing career short as he chose to focus on music.

He topped the charts with his two albums released after beating Logan Paul in November 2019, while the younger Paul brother continued boxing. The American is now one of the biggest names in the sport and 5-0 as a professional, so KSI needs to make a return to action to prove he can compete at his rival's level.
