KSI was back in action on Saturday as part of DAZN’s Misfit Boxing series. Originally scheduled to face Dillon Danis in the main event, KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, stepped into the squared circle with late-notice replacement FaZe Temper. The two squared off in the evening’s headliner at the OVO Arena Wembley in London.
Round 1
KSI came out early putting on the pressure and throwing wildly. Unable to answer, Temper clinches each time KSI moves in. With each flurry, he is getting closer to connecting with Temper’s chin. With less than a minute to go, KSI is feeling confident, keeping his hands down and moving in on Temper. The champ uncorks a right hand followed by a left hook that levels Temper, sending him crashing to the canvas. Temper attempts to answer the referee’s count, but cannot get his legs under him and the referee is forced to call for a stoppage.
Official Result: KSI defeats FaZe Temper via KO at 2:19 of Round 1
