YouTube stars Wings of Redemption and Boogie2988 will share a combined weight of over 800lb for their fight on the undercard of KSI vs Joe Fournier.
Wings, real name Jordie Jordan, rose to fame in 2008 for uploading videos of himself playing the popular first-person shooter game Call of Duty. The YouTuber gained a cult-like following on the platform for his controversial playing style on the game, with Wings later being known for his heated rivalry with fellow content creator Syndicate.
Boogie, real name Steven Williams, currently has over four million YouTube subscribers and he also gained internet success around the same time as Wings. Boogie, who weighs around 400lb, is mostly known for his comedic sketches in which he portrayed the fictional character "Francis", with many of his videos from over a decade ago amassing tens of millions of views.
YouTuber boxer KSI reacted to the fight announcement by writing, "Oh my god, if someone would have told me this would happen 10 years ago I would have laughed and blocked them. Fam I still can't believe it's happening." KSI is unbeaten since returning to the ring after a three-year layoff last August and looks to push himself one step closer to an illustrious fight against Jake Paul by beating Fournier.
Boogie has confirmed the fight will be three rounds with each round likely being two minutes long. The YouTuber, who is classified as disabled, admitted to having numerous health issues such as asthma, arthritis and polycythaemia. The list of Boogie's health worries didn't put him off accepting the fight and he hopes to inspire fans in a similar position as him by facing Wings.

"I'm going into this thing with the plan to win," Boogie said on his YouTube channel. " but if I could make it all the way through three rounds I will be happy with that. If I'm still standing at the end I will be very proud of myself. There are going to be some people tuning in to watch two fat guys and make fun of them. There's also hopefully going to be a few people who are inspired by this.
"I want to prove to myself that I can face my fears. I'm going to do my absolute best to put Jordie on his a**. This is a very important first step to put everything I've learned in the last few weeks into action. I promise you I am going to make this fight entertaining as possible."
