Back in January, KSI was slated to face Dillon Danis, in the DAZN pay-per-view event. However, Dillon pulled out at the last minute. FaZe clan member Temperrr was later given the slot after he agreed to the fight on such short notice. In the end, KSI won the match with a landslide after he knocked out Temperrr in the first round.

One of the most popular series by Sidemen is the VS series. Where the group pits an influencer in a bachelor-style game show where they have to choose a date among 20 or so participants.

So far, the show had only featured male influencers against female contestants. However, fans are hopeful that Val may be the first female influencer in the show.

Is JJ ready for his upcoming bout?

Talking about his upcoming fight, KSI has said, “Fournier has more experience than Tommy and Jake. Even getting in the ring with David Haye just shows the levels that he is at. But the difference is, I’m KSI man. I am like no other, and as soon as people enter the ring with me, they understand they’re in hell.”

Listening to the confidence in his voice, it is very apparent that even though Fournier is a veteran compared to his previous challengers, KSI is not afraid to face him. And winning over such a formidable foe would be a great massage to his arch-nemesis, Jake Paul.
