Alex Wassabi outpointed fellow YouTube star Deji in their fight last month and now KSI wants to avenge his brother's loss.
KSI watched on as his younger brother lost to Wassabi in the main event of a Showstar boxing card earlier this month. Deji claimed he would retire with a loss, but he agreed to a rematch with Wassabi whilst in the ring after the fight.
After launching his 'Prime' energy drink with old rival Logan Paul in January, KSI announced he was retired from boxing. The Brit hadn't fought since outpointing Paul in their professional rematch that took place in 2019.
But KSI has now backtracked on his boxing retirement as he wants to fight twice this year. His return will be co-promoted by Wasserman Boxing with the Sauerland Brothers Nisse and Kalle and Wassabi could serve as his opponent.
“I honestly want to f*** up Alex Wassabi," he said. "Have you seen the videos he is making? He actually thinks he can beat me. He was like ‘you better not get in my weight class or you are done’. He said that I only have weight and that is the difference between me and him.
"I’m like bro I don’t think you understand who you are talking to. I am not some guy who is going to get walked on. When I put my mind to s*** it's a very different energy.”
Deji competed in his third professional boxing match against Wassabi as he hoped to avenge previous losses against Jake Paul and TikTok star Vinnie Hacker. But it wasn't to be for the 25-year-old as he struggled to pull the trigger and let his hands go against Wassabi.

"I'll redeem Deji and say 'this is how you do it'," he said on SideCast. I'll lose the weight. If I lose to Alex Wassabi I'll never do boxing or music again in my life. I would just stop. I wouldn't even make people pay for it, I'll make it for free. I'll show everyone a sick event and make it free."
During a Happy Punch Promotions Twitter Space, KSI's manager Mams Taylor let slip that Prime will play a part in his fighter's ring return, which means the Brit's old rival and business partner Paul could feature on the card.
"It's a possibility," he laughed, before downplaying the news. "But look it's a possibility, anything's possible. Obviously Logan is a great guy, a hell of an athlete, he's a great draw and people would love to see him fight, he's made it clear he's got intentions to fight in one capacity or another so we'll see what happens".
