KSI is officially set to compete in his seventh bout in the sport of boxing when he welcomes aging Joe Fournier into the ring, with the pair set to collide at Misfits 007 on May 13.

'JJ' continues to raise his stock in sports, and his latest business venture with Prime Hydration has signed huge partnership deals with both the UFC and Arsenal—the brit's favorite soccer team. The beverage has become a worldwide sensation and is continuing to break ground for himself and his business partner Logan Paul.

As announced on social media, KSI has signed on the dotted line for his next assignment in the ring, as he promises another knockout, this time against upcoming opponent Joe Fournier.

While he is something of an unknown entity, Fournier has competed in the squared-circle on multiple occasions and will without a doubt be the YouTuber's toughest opponent to date. With a 9-0-1 professional record in the sport, the 40-year-old has amassed an unbeaten record and even has an exhibition bout against former WBA and WBC heavyweight champion David Haye under his belt.

This will be the first time in Olajide Olatunji's short time in boxing that he will be facing a man with serious knockout power, as his opponent has collected an incredible nine knockouts and one no-contest throughout his career.


KSI's boxing record: Who has fallen victim to the British YouTuber?

KSI is a multi-talented influencer who has seemingly now taken a full interest in boxing as he approaches his fourth fight in nine months, but who has the internet celebrity already faced?

Exhibition bouts against Joe Weller and Logan Paul set his career into motion and the Englishman then competed in his first professional bout in a rematch with 'The Maverick', earning a decision win over the American in enemy territory.

Almost three years later, KSI would return to the ring and beat both Brandon Scott (Swarmz) and Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same night, though the level of his opponents was clearly not up to standard.

Earlier this year, a brawl with controversial MMA star Dillon Danis was canceled, forcing the Brit to replace him with fellow YouTube figure Thomas Oliveira, better known as Faze Temperrr. On May 13, he will step into the ring in the Misfits 007 headliner against the aforementioned Joe Fournier.
