KSI’s most “dangerous” challenge yet saw 10 of his fans face off against professional boxers for the chance at winning a contract with Misfits Boxing — as well as several thousand dollars.
KSI was one of the first online entertainers to kickstart the influencer-boxing phenomenon thanks to his bout against fellow YouTuber Joe Weller back in 2018.
Since then, names like Jake Paul have transcended their status as content creators to become full-fledged athletes in the sport… and KSI wants to give his fans the same chance.
KSI fan earns boxing contract after amateur-vs-pro gauntlet
On July 28, 2025, KSI uploaded a video documenting what he called his most “dangerous” project thus far. In the video, he recruited 10 of his biggest fans and tasked them with surviving four two-minute rounds against four pro boxers.
KSI gathered ten of his fans to see if any of them could withstand the onslaught from four pro boxers to earn a contract with Misfits Boxing.
For each round they survived, the fan would win a certain amount of money, which doubled with each successful round starting at £1,000 ($1,300 USD) and going up to £15,000 ($20,000 USD).
After making it through a round, contestants could choose to take their money and walk away, or continue on until they managed to make it through the last boxer.
The professional fighters tasked with taking on these fans might be familiar to influencer-boxing fanatics: Mo Deen, Danny Aarons, King Kenny, Fox the G, Ty Mitchell, and Viddal Riley, the current British cruiserweight champion.

While it’s certainly a bold move to make 10 amateurs face off against professional boxers, KSI assured viewers that he had medical staff on-site in the event of any injuries — which, of course, there were.
In fact, one fan lost by referee stoppage after advancing to the second round, getting punched soundly in the face and body by Ty Mitchell. As a result, he was booted from the competition without being able to take any cash home.
Out of all ten fans, only one managed to make it through all four rounds: Kia Jami, who walked away with a whopping £15,000 and a contract with KSI’s very own boxing promotion, Misfits Boxing.
This event comes a month before Misfit’s next ambitious card on August 30, Ring of Thrones, which features the promotion’s first-ever MMA fight between Logan Paul antagonist Dillon Danis and Warren Spencer.
