When is KSI vs Swarmz? Date, time, TV Channel, live stream and undercard

KSI will fight rapper Swarmz in a fight later this month following the withdrawal on August 6 of Alex Wassabi due to an injury. The pair were due to meet on August 27, but it has been revealed that the withdrawal was due to an injury suffered in training.

He will face the novice British rapper in his first fight since 2019, when he beat Logan Paul in his first ever professional bout. He also has two amateur fights to his name, starting with a 2018 win against Joe Weller before he drew with Paul in their first meeting later that same year.

It had been rumoured that long-time Tommy Fury rival Jake Paul would take the place of Wassabi for this fight, but KSI has stated that he would prefer to fight the American next year., Paul is a significantly more experienced boxer than the Brit and as such, KSI has stated that he views this fight as a way to battle 'ring-rust'.

In a tweet posted on Sunday, he said: "Just wanna say that at the end of the day, the one of the main goals of this first fight was to get rid of ring rust. I wanted to prove to myself that I’m a better boxer than I’ve portrayed in the past. If you wanna see, fine. If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway."

"There are still many good fights on this card that I’m excited to see. We are the only YouTube boxing event happening this summer. We’ve had many things try to disrupt this event but still we stand. This is a long term play, and I’ll happily take a small L now for a Big W later."
