KSI has “AGREED” his next fight with an announcement on the horizon.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been sidelined since his controversial October 2023 loss to Tommy Fury on points.

A hand injury ruled him out of his proposed return in August in Dublin.
He was due to face YouTuber Slim Albaher, 30, and ex-MMA star Anthony Taylor, 34, in a two-on-one HANDICAP bout.
But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor revealed they are just waiting to put pen to paper on a deal before announcing the mystery next opponent.
Taylor told SunSport in Doha: “Very close, very close. It’s all agreed it’s just the formality of getting the contracts over the lines.”
Fury pulled out of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! after receiving an offer from KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner.
And despite rumours, it was not for a rematch but instead for the former Love Islander to face ex-UFC star Darren Till, 31, on January 18.
But Taylor has warned not to rule out KSI, 31, rematching, 25, Fury in the near future.
He said: “I’ll just say this; anything’s possible in the weird and wonderful world of Misfits.

“Certainly the rematch is on KSI’s bucket list. Whether it happens next year or the year after, whatever.
“We definitely have some immediate plans and so does Tommy with Darren Till. So let’s take it one step at a time.”
Fury beat KSI at a catchweight of 183lb (13st 1lb) but moves all the way up to 205lb (14st 6lb) to fight Till.
But Taylor is not concerned about the jump up in weight – so long that Fury can shrink back down to fight KSI.
He said: “KSI just doesn’t have the frame to be 205 and be at his best.
“So it’s not a matter of, ‘Oh he doesn’t want the fight.’ He just wants to fight at his best.
“And I feel like he has a big enough name certainly where he can fight at whatever weight he wants and there’s always going to be someone.”
