KSI has confirmed that his next fight will be on August 31 in Ireland, with him set to take part in a bizarre two against one ‘tag-team handicap’ match. The YouTuber and boxer will face both Misfits fighters Slim Albaher and Anthony Taylor in a bout, where the two can rotate in a WWE-style to face KSI, who will be without a partner.

KSI has not fought since his loss to Tommy Fury, and is looking to shake off the ring rust, while doing so in a never-before-seen way by fighting two men at the same time.

The 30-year-old has also insinuated that he could fight Amir Khan later this year, who has called him out on several occasions within the past week, while also sending Jake Paul a ‘final offer’, with the two having gone back and forth for over five years on a bout.

In a video posted on Misfits Boxing’s X account, KSI said: “They told me to fight a warm-up fight. I am not Jake Paul and I want to fight. So I am going to fight someone who has been on my case for ages… I will be fighting Slim… and Anthony Taylor… in a 2v1 handicap, tag-team match. You have 24 hours to accept, lets do this.”

When addressing Khan, he said: “Amir Khan, we tried. But I believe that will probably be somewhere later on this year. All I am going to say is he maybe fast in the ring, but when it come to accepting offers… he is very, very slow.”

KSI also took shots at Paul for fighting 58-year-old Tyson in a bout later this year before sending his rival his ‘final offer’.

He said: “Today, Jake I am going to be making you my final offer. May 2025, just so you have all the time in the world to be ready, and we can even do it in America… but that is it when it comes to giving you advantages.

KSI named May 2025 as a deadline to fight Paul 

“We agreed to fight at 185lbs and you ran away and fight Nate Diaz instead, before coming back to me to want to fight at 200lbs. We both at weight to lose and we have plenty of time to do it. If you come back on some ——– on social media, we will know that you are not about it.”

In his announcement, KSI has essentially confirmed a potential boxing schedule over the next 11 months, with a potential bout in August against the two men from Misfits, while then fighting Khan later in the year before a showdown with Paul next May.
