    KSI and Danis shared a pretty heated build-up for their fight, but fans have will now be watching a different six-round clash inside the OVO Arena in Wembley, London.
    Temperrr was last in action on Misfits Boxing 003.
    He won via a first-round knockout and could prove to be stern test for The Nightmare.
    KSI made light work of Swarmz and Luis Pineda in August.

    And he insists his “focus won’t be distracted” by the pre-fight mess involving Danis.
    KSI said: “I mentioned at the Press Conference that Dillon was being haunted by me. He made his excuses and knew he couldn’t handle what I bring to a boxing ring.
    “This answers the question whether he’s a fighter or not.
    “He’s a warrior alright, a keyboard warrior, and hopefully he’s learnt to leave the real men to speak with their actions rather than hollow words.

    “That being said, my focus won’t be distracted from the task at hand and that’s FaZe Temperrr.
    “We’ve come head-to-head plenty of times with the Sidemen and FaZe Clan competing against each other, and it looks like we have another challenge on our hands.
    “Credit to Temperrr for stepping up like a REAL fighter.”
    Temperrr is confident heading into the fight, and says he wants to knock the Sidemen – YouTube group KSI is part of – off top spot.
    He added: “I showed exactly what I can do in my last fight.
    “At any moment in the fight, I can catch my opponent and you can see how they respond when that happens.
    “The Sidemen have been on top for too long, and it’s time for FaZe and I to show them exactly what we’re made of.
    “Sure, KSI is a huge name, but only one man is going to come out of this victorious. I hope he’s as prepared as he says he is, because I’m coming to London to do one thing, and that’s claim a massive win inside that ring.”
    The bookies are heavily in KSI’s favour – they’re backing him to maintain his unbeaten professional record.
    And despite underdog Temperrr having one loss on his record, that came against Slim Albaher, the American holds a significant height and slight reach advantage.
    Temperrr is 6ft4, considerably taller than KSI, and has a one inch reach advantage, which he says allows him to catch his opponent.
    KSI vs Faze Temperrr prediction
    KSI will hold a power and speed advantage over Temperrr, who took the fight on ten days notice.

    And the Brit can take a punch, as he proved against Logan Paul.

    She stands around 5ft 5in and her last bout was at 8st 8lb.
    Ordway’s height and weight so far remains unknown, despite appearing taller, but she is yet to step foot into the ring.

    But the fight will not be won on popularity and instead comes down to skill and will.
    Ordway said: “When the bell goes it’s tunnel vision, I’m in there, I’m ready.
    “As I’ve said, there’s no mercy when you get in the ring because it’s a war at that point.
    “I play nice on the outside but when it’s in the ring it’s a different story.”
    Brooke said: “I think it’s a good match in terms of ability.
    “From what we’ve probably seen of each other, there’s not like a vast big gap like many female influencers it’s a mismatch.
    “This is going to be a good fight.”

    KSI admits to being inspired back to boxing by rival Jake Paul but reveals why he will NEVER fight on after grudge match

    KSI admits he has been inspired back to boxing by bitter rival Jake Paul – but insists their grudge match will be the end of his fight career. The pair of YouTube foes are in talks to put bragging rights and reputations on the line this year.

    Paul is desperate for revenge after KSI took his brother Logan to a draw in 2018 only to win the rematch a year later.
    That victory saw KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – take three years out of the ring to focus on his fledging music career.
    But while doing so, Paul made a name for himself in the fight game and has quickly become a pay-per-view star at 6-0 in the process.
    Finally settling the score between the sworn enemies is what convinced KSI back to boxing.

    But if he adds another Paul scalp to his collection, it will also be enough to see the social media sensation hang his gloves up for good.
    KSI, 29, told SunSport: “I know after Jake it’s done. I’d have no desire to continue.”
    Paul, 25, in January 2020 won against KSI’s close friend AnEsonGib, with the Brit ringside to see it.
    The American influencer has since beaten the likes of ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 46.
    Most read in Boxing
    It has cast doubt on KSI’s chances of beating Paul, which is the same fuel he used to beat brother Logan, 27.
    KSI said: “For me, after Logan I was like, ‘Alright, that’s it, it’s done.’ There was no one after it that I was like, ‘I want to fight this person.’ 
    “I beat the best person in this whole influencer space, why else do I need to fight anyone else? 
    “I was like cool I’ll focus on music, focus on the foundation of music and making sure it was where I wanted it to be. 
    “Then Jake really started picking up steam and I bigged Gib up to beat him and then he was able to beat Gib. 
    “Obviously Jake’s beaten all these other people and everyone thinks, ‘He’d destroy KSI.’ 
    “I was like, ‘Nah, nah, nah, nah. They have short-term memories, I swear. Do you not understand what I did when I fought Logan?
    “I wasn’t even at the best of my abilities when I beat Logan. Everything was in his favour, I had to gain weight to reach Logan’s level. 
    “All these things were in Logan’s favour and I was still able to overcome it. I had no interest in fighting again and now everyone thinks Jake Paul is that guy. 
    I know after Jake it’s done. I’d have no desire to continue.KSI on his boxing career
    “It piqued my interest and I was like, ‘OK cool, new goal: let me come back to boxing and I’ll knock him out.’ After that, I won’t have a goal again. I’ll be good.” 
    KSI first returned in August and made up for lost time by beating rapper Swarmz, 26, and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the SAME NIGHT.
    He was due to face Dillon Danis, 29, on Saturday but the 2-0 MMA fighter pulled out.
    KSI will instead fight gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, who has two wins and one loss in the ring, live on DAZN PPV.
    And it is all one step closer in KSI’s eventual plan to fight and retire from boxing after getting his hands on Paul at last.
    He said: “I don’t care who’s in front of me, I just know that I’ll destroy them. 

    “For me my main goal is Jake Paul and I don’t want to fight Jake Paul instantly because I know once I fight him and beat him then it’s done. 
    “I wouldn’t want to fight anymore because I wouldn’t have any more goals in boxing, I would have achieved what I strived for. 
    “I’m quite a goal-driven person, so once I get my goal I’m like, ‘OK, on to the next thing.’

    “For me, I’m just kind of enjoying the whole boxing space and enjoying and training, getting better and improving as a person and as a human physically and mentally. 
    “I’m like, do you know what? Let me have a few fights under my belt just so I’m the best of the best that I can be, then fight Jake and show him he’s absolutely nothing.”

    “She listens, just because of the whole YouTube fame and the TokTik fame and all of that stuff, doesn’t mean she doesn’t take it seriously because she’s fallen in love with it and she does take it seriously.
    “The only difference is, instead of doing the amateurs like you would when you first start out and put on gloves and no one sees it, these TikTokers and YouTubers are having their first few fights with like this huge audience.
    “So we’re looking at them going, ‘Oh, they can’t box, they can’t do this and that.’ Of course they can’t, they’re novices.”
