KSI has seemingly begun taking his talent in boxing seriously and is ready to return to the ring as he announces he has a date and potential opponents already lined up for his return to the sport.

The British YouTube sensation is a man of many talents and often finds his time taken up with his various business ventures, solo projects, and videos with his close-knit group 'The Sidemen'. Despite being passionate about music and entertaining his millions of fans, 'JJ' remains wanting to fulfill his goals in boxing.

While discussing his future in the sport on the MMA Hour, KSI gave an update on when he expects to fight next and had two surprising names on his list of potential opponents for that date.

Best known for his wacky behavior and dark-humored YouTube videos, KSI looks ready to put his other endeavors on hold to focus more on his time on boxing, but what does his career look like in the sport?

Although he has just one professional fight in the ring—coming during his rematch against Logan Paul in 2019—the multi-talented performer has four additional exhibition bouts under his belt.

To begin his career in the sport, he collected a dominant win over fellow internet celebrity Joe Weller. Last year, the lovable character earned wins over Brandon Scott (Swarmz), Luis Alcaraz Pineda, and Thomas Oliveira (Faze Temperrr).
