YouTube sensation KSI has a new opponent for his professional boxing return on the 14th January after MMA fighter Dillon Danis withdrew from the event.
KSI moved quickly to secure a new opponent for his bout following the withdrawal of Dillon Danis, with YouTube star FaZe Temperrr being promoted from the undercard.
Former MMA fighter Danis withdrew from the event against KSI 10 days before fight was due to take place, citing concerns about making the weight and being "underprepared" leading to "FaZe Clan" star Temperrr stepping up to feature on the top bill.
FaZe Temperrr is a content creator best known for his Call of Duty videos on YouTube as part of the FaZe Clan, who are a professional Esports and entertainment team.
Temperrr's real name is Thomas Oliveira, he is 29-years-old from Brazil but currently resides in the USA. He has a big social media presence with over 2 million followers on his YouTube channel.
FaZe Clan (Originally FaZe Sniping) is considered one of the first YouTube viral gaming channels, they started out posting gaming videos including Call of Duty 'trickshots' before expanding into mainstream gaming content creation and Esports.
