KSI and Tommy Fury will meet in the boxing ring on Saturday, in what is set to be one of the biggest fights of the year.
KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) rose to fame on YouTube and has since ventured into rapping, boxing and business – the latter via his Prime energy drink company, which he launched with former opponent Logan Paul.
The Briton’s next in-ring challenge comes against compatriot Fury, a former Love Island contestant and the half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury. Neither KSI, 30, nor Fury, 24, has been beaten – though the latter has greater professional experience.
In the co-main event, Paul will be in action against fellow American Dillon Danis, a former teammate of UFC star Conor McGregor.
