KSI has shown off his ripped body transformation ahead of his return to boxing.

The YouTube star – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – last boxed in 2019 when he beat Logan Paul in a scrappy split-decision win.


But he went on to focus on his fledging music career which had ruled out a comeback to the ring.

But KSI has since announced he is in training to make his boxing return on August 27.

It comes while the celebrity fighter performed at Wembley Stadium for the Summertime Ball.

And he did so topless, revealing his toned body with the Brit certainly looking fighting fit again.

KSI, 28, first boxed in a white collar bout in 2018 against online rival Joe Weller, 26, winning with a third round TKO.

The same year, he drew against his now-business partner Paul, 27, in Manchester which set up their rematch a year later.

But controversially, the pair turned professional with Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn staging the fight.

It again went the six-round distance with KSI recovering from a knockdown to beat Paul, who had a two-point deduction.

KSI had been trained by his friend, 6-0 cruiserweight prospect Viddal Riley, 24, for his three boxing bout so far.

But Riley is now instead concentrated only on his own career with KSI instead moving to a new gym.

Up until this point, it had been a secret switch, but his strength and conditioning coach Leon Wills has revealed the new lead cornerman.

KSI is being coached by Alexis Demetriades at the London Shootfighters gym.

Wills told Fred Talks Fighting: "He's training with Alexis, part of Shootfighters gym.

"But yeah, KSI is looking sharp, watched him spar the other day, very good, very fit. Performed well when I saw him."
