What does KSI stand for and what is Tommy Fury opponent's full name?

KSI puts his unbeaten record on the line this weekend when he faces-off against Tommy Fury.

The YouTube star has branched out into various avenues since beginning posting on the platform in 2008, with his professional boxing career kicking-off in 2019 with a high-profile bout against Logan Paul.

Victories against Swarmz, Luis Alcaraz Pineda and FaZe Temperrr followed, before a no contest clash with Joe Fournier in May of this year - after which Fury called-out KSI to tee-up this weekend’s clash.

Their meeting is expected to be watched by millions, with KSI set to sport the 'world's most expensive mouthguard', worth around £41,000.

KSI’s full name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji. He is also sometimes known as ‘JJ’, but professionally is known as KSI.

‘JJ’ stands for Jide Junior - in an homage to KSI’s father, who is known as Jide Olatunji. KSI’s first YouTube account used the username ‘JideJunior’.
