YouTube star KSI is once again getting back in the ring, taking on FaZe Temper instead of Dillon Danis, who pulled out of the fight at late notice.
FaZe was initially supposed to fight a mystery opponent on the same card.
The fight will take place at MF & DAZN: X Series 004 at the OVO Arena, Wembley in London.
The social media star KSI spent almost three years away from the sport after beating Logan Paul in November 2019 but returned with a bang in front of a sold-out 02 arena back in August. He was due to face Alex Wassabi, who had just beaten his brother Deji, but when the American pulled out with a concussion, he ended up facing two opponents in one night, dispatching both by KO.
Temper is a co-founder of FaZe Clan, an esports group that has produced a number of high-profile influencers such as Adapt, Banks, and others. Temper is also no stranger to boxing; he has participated in numerous fights and now holds a 2-1 record.
The most notable example is that Temper, despite dominating King Kenny in their encounter, won an appeal with the boxing commission earlier in 2022. In the following fight, which took place in August of 2022 and was on the undercard of KSI's "Two Fights, One Night" event against Luis Pineda and Swarmz, he was defeated by knockout.
