Popular YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Olajide "KSI” wants to see fellow streamers like Kai Cenat, N30n, and IShowSpeed take part in future Misfits Boxing events. The internet personality started the pro boxing company in 2022, and it has hosted a series of matches over the last two years in collaboration with DAZN.
Last year, KSI himself fought in two separate matches, with the second one drawing a lot of controversy after his team appealed the decision that crowned Tommy Fury as the winner.
In a recent event organized by Misfits Boxing, the YouTube star was asked if he would like to see other content creators on future cards, and The Nightmare (his boxing nickname) had a few in mind, including big names like Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, N3on, and Zherka.

On the other hand, Kick star Rangesh "N3on" has seen a massive surge in popularity in the last few years. He recently tried to set up a boxing match, pitting Bryce Hall against Vitaly. However, his efforts might have gone to waste after Vitally backed away.
Contentious Kick streamer Jon "Zherka" was also named as one of the many potential content creators the Englishman would like to see in a Misfits Boxing card in the future. Zherka has some experience under his belt, having fought Izi Prime last year after Adin Ross set up the match.
