“From the screen to the ring, to the pen, to the king” – this famous line from KSI’s hit track Thick of It perfectly captures his hustle. Whether it’s ruling YouTube screens, dropping fire music, or dominating in business, JJ has been everywhere. However, it’s been a while since fans last saw him trade blows in the ring. That wait might finally be over, as KSI just teased an upcoming fight. Fans are already in a frenzy, throwing out wild predictions about who his next opponent could be as excitement builds for his return.
KSI recently shared an Instagram story hyping up the AnEsonGib vs. Slim Albaher event, set to take place at the Lusail Sports Arena in Doha, Qatar, this Thursday afternoon. In the same video, he teased that he knows fans have been eagerly waiting for his return to the ring. He suggested that the wait might be coming to an end, hinting that a big announcement is just around the corner, fueling excitement and speculation about his next fight.
KSI said, “Those of you who have been waiting for an announcement for me you don’t have too much longer.”

After KSI’s tease, fans flooded the comments section with wild predictions, throwing out names from Jake Paul to Amir Khan as potential opponents.
Some fans speculated that an announcement could be coming tonight, suggesting that Khan might be JJ’s next opponent.
I think there is an announcement tonight, but when does the fight take place? I think it is going to be Amir Khan as his opponent but I could be wrong by an article from September saying Khan would only come out of retirement for Floyd or Manny. Just have to wait and see

KSI Might Return Against Darren Till
JJ has been out of the boxing world ever since his controversial loss to Tommy Fury in October 2023. An injury to his hand kept him from making his comeback in August in Dublin. Consequently, fans have been waiting eagerly for news of his next fight, and now, his manager, Mams Taylor, has shared some exciting updates.
According to Taylor, the deal is practically done, with just the final details to be ironed out before the big reveal. While rumors swirled about a potential Fury rematch, Taylor confirmed it’s not happening just yet. Instead, KSI’s next fight could be against former Love Island star Darren Till, 31, on January 18. However, don’t count out a KSI vs. Fury rematch just yet—Taylor teased that it could still happen in the near future.
