It appears there is never a dull day in the world of KSI and we are all here ready to lap up his next big announcement, whether that’s concerning his cryptocurrency or boxing exploits.
KSI recently confirmed his upcoming return to the ring on 27 August against a to-be-confirmed opponent in a rather dramatic video.
That may help to take his mind off a bruising week in the world of cryptocurrency, which saw the 28-year-old lose $3 million dollars (£2.8 million) of stock.

However, this latest revelation is perhaps the most earth-shattering of them all. Get ready for this folks, KSI is 'not fat anymore'.
In the video, the YouTuber looks through pictures of his physique from 2017 through to the present day, with no images of his torso in 2020 or 2021.

The man better also known as JJ Olatunji is now sporting a six pack once again as he looks to don the boxing gloves once again this summer.
He said: “Evolution of fitneek: 2017, 2018, 2019. After that I don't know what the f*** happened, actually I just stopped training. In 2022 I was like, 'ah let's start again! Let's start training again!'
“The thing is, in 2022, I haven't reached my final form. This is just mid final form. I still have so much more to do. But best believe on 26th August when I get on the scales, man is going to look crazy. Then on 27th is when I knock a man out!”
There was plenty of talk from the Watford-born rapper, whose last fight was back in November 2019 in a professional re-match with Logan Paul.
He won the fight by split decision in Los Angeles, after the pair’s first fight as amateur white collars ended in a draw.

Aside from Paul, KSI has also fought fellow influencer Joe Weller in February 2018 and won by technical knockout one minute and 37 seconds into the third round.
The YouTuber has now launched a boxing promotional company called ‘Misfits Boxing’ in partnership with Wasserman Promotions.
The first event is the fight scheduled to take place on 27 August, with KSI set to be the main event on the card.
There is plenty of speculation that KSI could fight Paul again, while he also jokingly suggested the possibility of fighting Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson – better known as The Mountain.

Despite the claims being tongue-in-cheek, his former coach and pro boxer Viddal Riley, believes it could happen. Watch this space.
