What is KSI's record?

In exhibition fights KSI has a record of 2-0, with his wins over Swarmz and Pineda coming on the same night.
What is FaZe Temperrr's record?

Who is on the undercard for KSI v FaZe Temperrr?
KSI's clash with Temperrr will take place over six rounds at light-heavyweight and their bout will be the longest on the card in January.
The rest of the fights will take place over either three or four rounds and there are plenty of names from the entertainment world who will feature.
Anthony Taylor's clash with Idris Virgo will also take place at light-heavyweight to start the card, with the second light-heavyweight contest seeing Joe Fournier face Tony Christodoulou, before Elle Brook and Faith Ordway meet at featherweight.
Swarmz will try to bounce back from his defeat to KSI when he faces Ryan Taylor at heavyweight.
Fans can also look forward to a catchweight bout between Salt Papi and Josh Brueckner, before Slim Albaher and Tom Zanetti meet over four rounds.
Zanetti's clash will be classed as the chief support, but with so many big names fighting at the OVO Arena, fans should get plenty of value from the entire card.
