What is DAZN? How to watch KSI vs. Swarmz through boxing streaming app

August 26, 2022 Abraham Smith

After a few years away from the boxing ring, KSI is back. The YouTuber will compete at the O2 Arena in London on August 27th. If all goes according to plan, he’ll fight twice in one night.

KSI will fight rapper Swarmz. KSI was supposed to fight Alex Wassabi but the YouTuber had to pull out of the fight after suffering a concussion. Not only will KSI fight Swarmz, but if he is healthy enough, he will face professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda that night.

The event is part of a new venture called MF & DAZN: X Series.

KSI is a YouTuber and rapper. He has been nominated for and won several awards over the years. KSI began his boxing career with a TKO win over Joe Weller in an amateur bout in February 2018. He then went on to fight Logan Paul in Manchester in August of the same year. The fight ended in a majority decision tie.
