Social media star KSI is back in the ring once again this weekend as the influencer boxing revolution continues, squaring up for two bouts on the same card against Luis Pineda and Swarmz.
Exhibition boxing matches have exploded over the past few years with social media influencers grasping the opportunity to stage bouts in front of sell-out crowds.
KSI was at the forefront of the influencer boxing revolution, facing Joe Weller and Logan Paul in amateur fights in 2018.
The London-born YouTuber and rapper made his professional debut against Paul in 2019 and he earned a split decision victory at Staples Center in California.
He returns to action on Saturday with a double-header against Pineda and Swarmz at London's O2 Arena.
