KSI is returning to the boxing ring to face rival Alex Wassabi.
The YouTube sensation and music star was last in the ring in November 2019, when he defeated rival Logan Paul in pro boxing bout in Los Angeles.
KSI won that fight by a split decision at the Staples Center.
The British star sealed the win 56-55, 57-54, 55-56 on the judge’s scorecards.
He has since focused on his music career which has ruled out a comeback to the ring.
KSI, 28, first boxed in a white collar bout in 2018 against online rival Joe Weller, 26, beating him in round three.
That fight was the first YouTube boxing bout of its kind, and kick-started multiple huge money-spinning events.
While Wassabi beat KSI’s brother Deji earlier this year in March.
