  • Odds Who KSI will fight next have been popping up big time
  • Will KSI fight one of the Pauls? Perhaps a personality in the boxing world?
  • Does KSI fight a rapper/pop star next? Does KSI fight a fellow Youtuber?

Odds who KSI will fight next are materializing out there. No other 1-0 pro boxer on the planet can command anywhere the attention that YouTuber/musician KSI can. For better or worse, he gets eyeballs on fights and there’s a big financial incentive to get him in the ring again. His fights with Logan Paul garnered a tremendous amount of public attention and the odds of him fighting again are likely. The odds who KSI will fight next becomes the true question. Check out the odds below and my thoughts on who KSI’s next foe will be.

Odds Who KSI Will Fight Next

Fighter Odds
Faze Sensei +250
Jake Paul +300
Tommy Fury +400
Logan Paul +450
Eddie Hearn +800
Soulja Boy +1200
Justin Bieber +1200
Chris Brown +1500

Odds taken Dec. 16th

Jake Paul has boxing experience but he seems to already have an opponent lined up. Rumors abound surrounding the idea of Jake Paul fighting AnEsonGib on an upcoming Matchroom Boxing card. Tommy Fury is a reality star with a couple of professional fights under his belt. The same rumors about a Jake Paul bout surround the idea Fury and KSI will lock horns on hat same Matchroom card. This would make sense as both have big pop-culture profiles outside of the boxing sphere but both have a similar amount of experience. Also, KSI has indicated that going forward his interest lies in fighting celebrities.

Sensei Gets the Pay Day

KSI had two high profile fights with Logan Paul with the first being a draw followed by KSI winning the rematch. Paul has teased the possibility of a third fight with KSI but I think Paul’s immediate focus is getting a UFC fight. Prop bets have even emerged around Logan Paul fighting CM Punk in the octagon. That KSI bout will always be on the table and is something Paul seemingly wants to keep on the back burner for now as he keeps campaigning for an MMA bout.

KSI’s desire to fight celebrities has lead to some theorized opponents who are on the table above. Pop culture figures like Soulja Boy, Chris Brown, and Justin Bieber all have odds but they’re the least likely for a reason. All parties have teased in the past taking on some sort of fight but have never followed through in any kind of significant way. Even though KSI is a sloppy neophyte boxer, he has at least shown the gumption to put on the gloves and bite down on a mouthpiece. This can not be said for the aforementioned celebrities who bump their gums in a performative way with no genuine desire to truly scrap.

Pop Culture Pugilism

Faze Sensei is the runaway favorite here to fight KSI next and for good reason. Sensei fought on the undercard of the first KSI vs Paul bout and ended up winning his fight. A TKO victory over Overtflow was the recorded result last year. There’s also footage circulating of KSI and Sensei sparring together. The videos have a lot of views and they’re centered largely around KSI dropping Sensei during that sparring session. A classic prizefighting promotional device to create public intrigue around “settling the score in the ring once and for all”. To that point, I think Sensei has the greatest likelihood of fighting KSI next; all factors considered.

Pick: Faze Sensei (+250)
