Youtube sensation KSI returns to the boxing ring this weekend for the first time in two and a half years, and will fight twice in one night, facing up against rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Alcarez Pinada.
JJ Olatunji, better known by his tag ‘KSI’, is considered by many as the pioneer of YouTube boxing and it all started when he fought and beat Joe Weller in 2018.
Since then, he has gone on to fight the well known American Youtuber Logan Paul, who he drew with on the first time of asking, and then went on to beat in their rematch in November 2019.

Despite this being JJ’s first fight in over 1,000 days, the internet star still believes his two matchups won’t provide any significant challenges.
“I haven't fought in three years, this is supposed to be a warm-up fight.”, said JJ.

“Nobody is supposed to care who I fight because I'm going to beat them anyway. Even if they try their hardest, they are not going to beat me…I'm fighting so I can get rid of the cobwebs and be active again in the boxing scene.”
The 29 year-old was originally meant to fight fellow Youtuber, Alex Wassabi, but he pulled out due to a concussion, and Swarmz was s then rafted in.
Due to the rapper’s lack of experience in the ring, JJ received heavy backlash, leading him to add in a second opponent - Luiz Alcarez Pineda.
