KSI vs FaZe Temperrr time: When do ring walks start?

PA

KSI returns to the boxing ring this evening as he faces late replacement FaZe Temperrr in a cruiserweight bout at the Wembley Arena in London.

The British YouTube sensation was due to fight Dillon Danis but the former MMA star withdrew from the bout on January 4, citing a lack of preparation, lack of a coach, and issues with the contracted weight. FaZe Temperrr - a Brazilian YouTuber (real name Thomas Oliveira) - has stepped up from the undercard to replace Danis and the fight will still be for the MF cruiserweight title.

KSI paid tribute to his foe for taking the challenge, saying: “We’ve come head-to-head plenty of times with the Sidemen and FaZe Clan competing against each other, and it looks like we have another challenge on our hands. Credit to Temper for stepping up like a REAL fighter.”

Back in August, KSI beat Luis Alcaraz Pineda and Swarmz in a single night at the O2 Arena to extend his unbeaten career record to five fights. He is heavily favoured for tonight’s contest and victory would move the 29-year-old closer to a showdown with Jake Paul.

Here’s all you need to know ahead of the fight:
