KSI has sensationally announced his next fight will be against Slim Albaher and Anthony Taylor in a two versus one bout in Ireland.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was last in action in October when he lost to Tommy Fury via unanimous decision.

It was recently revealed that former unified light-welterweight champion Amir Khan was in negotiations to fight the 30-year-old.

However, KSI has revealed that his has fallen through and taking to Misfits Boxing’s X account, he revealed his unusual next fight.

He said: “August 31, I will be in Dublin and I will be fighting on what will be Misfits’ second anniversary. Now the ultimate question, who am I fighting? Amir Khan? I mean, best believe we tried.

“But unfortunately I believe that will be probably be somewhere later on this year. All I’m going to say is, he may be fast in the ring but when it comes to accepting offers he’s very, very slow.”

Long-term rival Jake Paul has also been linked with a fight, but he too won’t be KSI’s opponent, as he set the Problem Child a final deadline of next year to finally face him.

He remarked: “I see that he has rescheduled his fight with Mike Tyson. So now Mike will be even older when he fights.

“Mike Tyson is a man who is in no condition to fight a 20-something-year-old at his age. I mean, Jake Paul and Netflix want to do what they want, so all good. But today I will be making my final offer.

“May 2025, it gives you all the time in the world to be ready and we can do it in America, just to make you that bit more happy. But that is that when it comes to giving you advantages.

“I mean first of all we agreed to fight at 180lbs and then you decided to run away and fight Nate Diaz instead.

“Then you came back and wanted a fight at 185lb and then decided 200lbs.

“You know what Jake, I am tired of this b*******, get off the cycle and lets make this work. 185lb is my final offer, take it or leave it.”

KSI later revealed: “I will be fighting Slim and Anthony Taylor in a two v one handicap match. Both of you against me, you have 24 hours to accept, let’s do this.”

Both fighters accepted the challenge, with Slim replying on X with: “2v1 lmao. I'd knock his lights out by myself.

“If this is my only chance after chasing ksi for years then I'm sorry AT you ain't getting Tagged Let's make it happen.”

Taylor also posted: “Look, you can’t spell GOAT without ‘AT’. KSI, I’m going to whoop your a**, facts!”

Slim is one of the big names in influencer boxing, where he has won all seven of his contests.

Meanwhile Taylor, who lost to Tommy Fury on points in 2021, boasts a record of 2-3 inside the squared circle.
