KSI - Biography

Brought up in Watford, Hertfordshire as Olajide Olatunji, 'KSI' became famous in the UK for his viral FIFA YouTube videos.

Growing into one of the biggest social media stars in the UK, KSI made his first foray into the world of crossover boxing when taking on Joe Weller at the Copper Box Arena in London in February 2018.

His victory against Weller set up two money-spinning fights against American YouTuber Logan Paul on both sides of the Atlantic, with the first fight in Manchester ending in a draw and the rematch won by KSI in Los Angeles.

Since then, KSI has co-founded his own crossover boxing organisation Misfits Boxing which has provided a platform for social media creators to try their hand at the sport.

The Brit has continued to fight on Misfits shows, scoring wins against Swarmz, Luis Pineda and FaZe Temperrr before losing for the first time in the ring against Tommy Fury at the Manchester Arena in October 2023.

As well as boxing, KSI also continues to upload load content on YouTube as well as make rap music and front lucrative brands including Prime Hydration.
