'The Nightmare' currently stands as one of the most famous influencer boxing stars today. After amassing a large fan following with YouTube content, the British influencer transitioned to boxing and was able to achieve commercial success.
Nearly seven years after taking his first step into boxing, KSI continues to be a foremost figure in the influencer boxing circuit.
What is KSI's professional boxing record?
KSI's professional boxing record currently stands at 4-1-1NC with three knockouts.
'The Nightmare' currently stands as one of the most famous influencer boxing stars today. He made his debut in an amateur bout in February 2018, against fellow YouTuber Joe Weller. The Brit easily won with a third-round knockout.
Following that victory, the British star called for a showdown with Logan Paul and got his wish. In a subsequent amateur bout, the two YouTubers fought to a six-round majority draw. With a result like that, the two had to have a rematch.
For the second outing, both men turned professional. In the first pro contest of his career, KSI scored a split-decision win after six rounds of back-and-forth action. Following the win, he decided to take some time off in favor of doing music and focusing on business opportunities
In August 2022, the 33-year-old decided to return to action at the O2 Arena in London, England. Upon his return, the YouTuber wanted to do something unique and fight twice in one night.
In the first bout of the evening, KSI scored a second-round knockout over the footballer-turned-rapper Swarmz. Following that, he headed to the main event, where he scored a third-round stoppage of professional boxer Luis Alcatraz Pineda, becoming the inaugural Misfits Boxing Cruiserweight title.
In January 2023, KSI scored the third knockout win of his career as he finished FaZe Temperrr by first-round finish. His next win, a knockout victory over Joe Fourmier in May 2023, was overturned to a No Contest due to an accidental elbow from KSI.
KSI suffered the only loss of his career against Tommy Fury
As an undefeated influencer-turned-professional boxer, KSI faced Tommy Fury in the main event of MF & DAZN: X Series 10 - The Prime Card, also known as 'The Judgement Day' in October 2023. It was expected to be the toughest challenge of KSI's professional boxing career, while for Fury, it was a high-risk, low-reward matchup against an influencer-turned-boxer.
The relatively inactive fight saw Fury maintain the lead for the majority of contest. However, the fight was marked with frequent clinching and stifling of action. Fury received a point deduction for hitting KSI in the back of the head. Despite the point deduction, Fury won the bout by unanimous decision, handing KSI his first professional boxing defeat.
After nearly 18-month layoff, KSI will return to competition on March 29 as he takes on former Bellator MMA contender Dillon Danis at an event scheduled to take place at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
