KSI has vowed to make rapper Swarmz disappear from social media in a similar way to controversial former kickboxer Andrew Tate.
YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - will return to the ring in a huge influencer boxing event tonight at London's O2 arena. He will face a double dose of opposition tonight when he first takes on rapper Swarmz - real name Brendan Scott - before taking on the challenge of professional fighter Luis Pineda later on the card.
Scott has previously recorded music with KSI, but has no prior experience in boxing and has only competed as a former professional footballer. The London-based musician vowed to delete his social media accounts including Instagram if he is beaten by the clear favourite KSI.
And his counterpart, who will compete in his second and third professional fights, is planning to inflict a quick-fire KO defeat on his rival to remove his status. "I am feeling really good," KSI said at yesterday's weigh in. "Guess what KO easy bro, you are coming for this with all this smoke.
"That is me, that is KSI this is what I do putting it in everyday. Even this waxwork will knock you out as well. When I knock you out you better delete your socials, I want to see you gone. I don't want to see you on Snapchat, on Instagram on Twitter or nothing. You will be like Andrew Tate disappearing."
Controversial former kickboxer Tate shot to his fame for his views going viral, but later faced a ban from his rising social media accounts due to his contentious views on women. He was forced to release a "final message" via KSI's rival Jake Paul after losing his accounts including TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.

KSI was forced to take a fight with Scott, who had been contracted as a short notice replacement, after original rival Alex Wassabi withdrew from the event after suffering a "serious injury". He was ridiculed by fans largely for the event which saw him initially add Ivan Nikolov to the card, who was later removed after being an alleged white supremacist.
Despite the circumstances surrounding the event, KSI is excited for his return and entertained the fans with a rallying speech at yesterday's weigh-in. "The Nightmare is back," he shouted. "Three years I have had to watch these motherf****** fight in front of me and it is good to be back and show everyone why I am No.1.
"Are you not entertained ladies and gentlemen? F*** Jake Paul. F*** all these motherf******; round one KO, watch. The whole event looks amazing, the best I've been on. I'm so proud to be a part-owner of this event and make sure all the fighters get paid and looked after."
