After American YouTuber Alex Wassabi pulled out of the fight, KSI will now fight two opponents on the same night in rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
KSI will fight both boxers back-to-back, going three rounds with each, coming up against Mexican 23-year-old Pineda first before facing Swarmz, who is yet to fight in a boxing ring.
It will be KSI's first return to the ring since 2019, when he beat Logan Paul in his first ever professional bout. He also has two amateur fights to his name, starting with a 2018 win against Joe Weller before he drew with Paul in their first meeting later that same year.

And he'll look to scrape off that said ring rust with six rounds, three of which coming against a professional boxer. The fight takes place later this month on Saturday August 27 at The O2 Arena in London, with the main event ring walks likely to take place around 9.30pm or 10pm, with no running order confirmed as yet.
