It was announced on Friday that former rivals turned business partners, social media stars Logan Paul and KSI, were going to return in separate fights on the same card.
The event has been set down for October 14 in Manchester – on DAZN Pay-Per-View.
Their event will be called Prime Card – a reference to their partnership in the Prime energy drink.
Paul, 28-years-old, has been away from the rings since fighting Floyd Mayweather in a high-profile exhibition match in June of 2021.
Both Paul and KSI turned pro against each other, in 2018, and KSI walked away with a close split decision win.
Since then, Paul has been busy with his various business ventures and a blossoming career as a pro wrestler for WWE.
The opponents for Paul and KSI have yet to be revealed.
“I’m f—ing pumped, man,” Paul told ESPN. “It’s been so long since I had a boxing fight, and I feel like I’ve kind of been left out of the conversation. But I don’t train wrestling. I train boxing. I practice for my matches a couple times, but it’s not like I’m doing WWE training. I’ve been behind the scenes just boxing for the past two years, so I’m so excited to finally get back in the ring and show people how good I really am at the sport.”
The 30-year-old KSI saw action back in May, with a no-contest against unbeaten pro Joe Fournier. Initially, KSI was awarded the victory by knockout. However, it was revealed in several replays that KSI had knocked Fournier out with an illegal elbow strike. Because the blow was unintentional, the outcome was reversed to a no-contest.
