Social media sensation and boxing rookie KSI is back in the ring on Saturday – and you can follow all of the action live.
The YouTuber takes on businessman and light heavyweight Joe Fournier at London’s Wembley Arena in his sixth professional fight.
Fournier has fought nine times and is unbeaten, although he lost by decision to former heavyweight and cruiserweight world champion David Haye in an exhibition bout in 2021.
“You will see me knock out a 9-0 professional boxer,” KSI told his millions of online fans a day before the fight, which he has promised will be “explosive”.
The 29-year-old, who is co-headlining a card that includes Deji against Swarmz, added: “From my bedroom to the ring, you will witness what hard work can get you.”
The Sporting News will have live updates from the MisFits and DAZN Series 007 show, as well as details on how to tune in.

KSI vs. Joe Fournier & Deji vs. Swarmz live results, updates
8.35 p.m. GMT: Paigey Cakey beats Tennessee Thresher by unanimous decision! Cakey perhaps looks a little surprised, while Thresher can’t believe it.
“I’m just glad I won – I’ve dreamt about it, I’ve manifested it and I’m so happy,” the victorious fighter tells DAZN afterwards.
“Props to her, she’s trained so hard. She came out swinging. This is one of many – I don’t know who I’m fighting but I’m going to be back in that ring real soon.”
8.30 p.m. GMT: It’s been a high-tempo two rounds so far between Cakey and Thresher, with both women inflicting some damage.
Here’s how KSI arrived a little earlier.
8.20 p.m. GMT: Rapper and influencer Paigey Cakey has been having a chat ahead of her fight, which is up next against fashion model Tennessee Thresher.
“This is my debut and I’m going to show off,” says Paigey, replying when she’s asked who she would like to face next: “I want any girl to come at me, and I’ll be ready.
“I just wanted to try something new. I’m a sporty person. This has been testing. I’m training to get in the ring.”
The fighters are heading to the ring for this super bantamweight brawl!
8 p.m. GMT: The first knockout of the night was a strong one. DK Money is eventually helped to his feet after being hit by a straight left to his chin, falling against the ropes. Painful. Viruzz, who fights out of Spain, and his entourage are ecstatic.

7.55 p.m. GMT: Next up: we’re watching a four-rounder between ex-professional handball player Viruzz and fashion businessman DK Money.
Money has just landed a shot on the money, sending Viruzz to the canvas. He’s back up, though, and… knocks out his opponent around a minute later! That was a hell of a finish!
7.40 p.m. GMT: KSI is in the building. Style check: the co-headliner is wearing a yellow suit and a black top.
7.35 p.m. GMT: Little Bellsy beats Lil Kymchii by unanimous decision after four rounds! Not a bad fight, that. Here’s the former lingerie model’s post-fight chat.

7.25 p.m. GMT: This is certainly a scrap between Kymchii and Bellsy. Kymchii has been scowling throughout and going on the attack.
Meanwhile, here’s how that tussle between Boogie and Wings ended. Truly a huge fight.
7.15 p.m. GMT: Judging by the names, our next bout won’t be quite as heavyweight. Lil Kymchii’s been chatting backstage to DAZN about the bout she’s about to have with Little Bellsy.
The TikTok and Instagram influencer says she wants to fight Astrid Wett or Elle Brooke after this one. She has a considerable height and reach disadvantage: 75-to-62 inches in reach, and 5ft 5in to 4ft 11in in height. The pair are about to head to the ring.
7 p.m. GMT: A clash of the giants ends in a knockout! Boogie 2988 and Wings of Redemption are two gaming influencers who brought a combined weight of around 800lbs into the ring with them.
The contest between colossuses ended with Boogie being waved off after Wings clobbered him in the face a few times during round two. A sterling effort from the massive men.

6.40 p.m. GMT: For the first time this evening – but almost certainly not the last – I’m a little disbelieving at what I’ve just seen. American YouTuber JiDion has just sung The Star-Spangled Banner inside the ring.
It was a fine effort from the prankster, who has more than seven million subscribers on the platform. But without wishing to be too critical, that rendition made it seem unlikely he’d enjoy as much success if anthem-singing was his career.
6.30 p.m. GMT: Unbaer beats Corn by split decision! That was a creditable contest, watched by a decent number of people for an early undercard fight. Wembley Arena is filling out nicely.
6.20 p.m. GMT: We’re currently watching an entertaining slugfest between Corn and Unbaer, both of whom took shots clean on the whiskers as they each went for it during the opening round.
No doubting these fighters’ bravery and guts.
6 p.m. GMT: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live updates from KSI vs. Joe Fournier and Deji vs. Swarmz!
Let’s take a look at the scenes from the weigh-in, when one of Fournier’s insults of choice was “you can’t even grow a beard”…
IT’S HEATING UP. 🔥@KSI vs. Joe Fournier.
