British YouTube sensation, Olajide “JJ” Olatunji aka KSI, has announced that he will be facing his next opponent in the Boxing ring on May 13th. After being absent from the scene since January, KSI will be returning to face Joe Fournier. Recent reports show that top streamer, Valkyrae, may show up at the event alongside the content group, Sidemen. 

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. 

Outside the ring, JJ and Joe Fournier had a small dispute, teasing a potential fight in the future. After months of teasing and hype, the duo has finally revealed their upcoming fight on May 13th. The event will be held at OVO Arena Wembley in London, England. Just like the previous fights, it will also be broadcasted on DAZN pay-per-view.

Valkyrae may collaborate with Sidemen and attend the KSI fight 

Reports claim that the ex-Twitch star Valkyrae may come to London to have a potential collaboration with the British content group, the Sidemen, and attend the KSI vs. Joe Fournier fight. So far, no information about the collaboration has been revealed yet. However, there have been some fan theories.

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.
