KSI has become one of the biggest names in celebrity boxing, alongside the likes of Jake Paul and Tommy Fury. Due to his incredible celebrity status, here at SportsLens we have decided to take a deep dive into KSI’s career thus far, having dissected the KSI boxing record.
KSI Boxing Record
The English YouTube sensation turned boxer was last seen in action in October 2023, losing for the first time in his boxing career. KSI was defeated by Tommy Fury – the infamous brother of WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury.
Now ‘The Nightmare’ aims to rebuild. The KSI boxing record suggests he does indeed have some boxing ability and raw power, despite being tagged as a YouTuber and not a real fighter by the majority of fans worldwide.
KSI was of course one of the founding members of the whole YouTube/celebrity boxing world. Now, hundreds of celebrities from various different walks of life are lacing up the gloves and getting in the ring.
KSI kicked it all off to begin with, fighting for the first time back in 2018 against fellow YouTuber Joe Weller in an exhibition bout. Since then, the YouTube boxing scene has well and truly taken off.

Up to now, KSI’s boxing record is an impressive one of 5-1-1 (1 NC). The YouTube star is the face of Misfits Boxing, as well as generating millions of dollars each and every time he fights. Not only that, but he can certainly back it all up in the ring. KSI really is a superstar.
The 1993-born sensation has boxed six times as a professional, winning four and losing just one (with one no contest). Of course, KSI has had eight fights in total including his two amateur bouts prior to stepping up to the pro ranks.
KSI has won six of his eight fights, suffering no defeats with one draw throughout his entire career and one no-contest. Of these five wins, KSI has won four of them via emphatic knockout.
KSI boasts impressive wins over the likes of Logan Paul and FaZe Temperrr to name but a few. Hence why KSI is odds on to beat almost everyone he faces with the best offshore sportsbooks.
KSI Boxing Record – Fight By Fight
KSI first stepped through the ropes back in February 2018 when he knocked out fellow YouTuber Joe Weller in three rounds in their cruiserweight contest. Next up was Logan Paul. KSI and ‘The Maverick’ battled it out to a draw in their first fight, before rematching in the pro ranks the following year.
Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing got involved this time around, staging the bout as a six-round professional contest rather than an exhibition. The Brit won the fight via split decision, putting an end to his rivalry with the older brother of Jake Paul.
Since then, KSI has had five more fights as a professional. At Misfits & DAZN: X Series 001, KSI made history by fighting two opponents in one night. Not only that, but he won both fights via knockout.
First, KSI dismantled Swarmz and knocked him out in two rounds. Then ‘The Nightmare’ faced the first official professional boxer. KSI beat Luis Alcaraz Pineda via KO in the third round of their cruiserweight contest, claiming the MF Cruiserweight Title in the process.
In 2023, KSI got his year off to the best possible start by knocking out fellow YouTuber FaZe Temperrr in the very first round of their fight, defending the MF Cruiserweight Title for the very first time in the process.

Then came the Joe Fournier fight. KSI knocked Fourier out cold in the second round of their fight, putting in a career-best performance. However, in the end he wasn’t awarded the win. The fight has now been ruled a no-contest after replays showed that the shot that knocked Joe Fournier out was in fact an illegal elbow strike.
Then came the biggest fight of his career against Tommy Fury. This ended up being the first defeat on the KSI boxing record, losing via unanimous decision to the brother of heavyweight king Tyson Fury. The fight was extremely close, with many people believe KSI had done enough to get his hand raised.
That takes us up to now in the KIS boxing record and career of ‘The Nightmare’. There could be some absolutely mammoth fights on the horizon for the multi-millionaire. The Tommy Fury rematch or a showdown with bitter rival Jake Paul makes total sense next for the Englishman.
At 30-years-old, ‘The Nightmare’ still has plenty of huge nights in him before he hangs the gloves up. Be sure to claim the various sports betting apps and boxing free bets available on the SportsLens site ahead of KSI’s next fight.
