KSI puts YouTube bragging rights on the line when he faces replacement opponent Faze Temperrr.
The social media, rap and crossover boxing star was due to return to the ring on Saturday against MMA’s Dillon Danis.
But Danis, 29, pulled out of the bout, with gamer Temperrr – real name Thomas Oliveira – filling in.
KSI prepares for his sixth boxing match, having beaten online rivals Joe Weller, 26, and Logan Paul, 27, in the past.
He initially drew with Paul in 2018 but won their rematch after turning professional a year later.
After three years out of the ring, KSI, 29, returned in August to beat rapper Swarmz, 23, and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23 on the SAME NIGHT.
Oliveira was on the undercard at the O2 and was brutally knocked out by Slim Albaher.
The Brazilian beat Brit “King Kenny” on his YouTube boxing debut and bounced back from defeat to Slim by knocking out Overtflow in November.
Oliveira, 29, shot to fame after helping launch the Faze Clan, one of the biggest gaming entities in the world.
He also grew up with a martial arts background, which has helped his transition to boxing.

According to Inspiration Feed, Oliveira has a net worth of $3million (£2.4m).
As a boxer, he stands 6ft 4in and has a massive 77 inch reach and in his last bout, he weighed in at 189lb, which is 13st 5lb.
KSI stands smaller at 6ft and has a shorter reach of 76in, last fighting at 12st 8lb.
His bout with Danis was set to be contested at 177.5lb or 12st 6lb.
KSI is one of the wealthiest content creators in the world, with a net worth of £20m.
Not only does he make money from boxing, but the Londoner is also a stadium sellout artist and founder of hydration drink Prime.
KSI and former opponent-turned business partner Paul believe their drink could be worth BILLIONS in the future.
Despite the pair’s new found friendship, KSI still wants to fight Paul’s brother, 6-0 rival Jake, 25.
The two bitter enemies are hoping to finally fight in a massive grudge match this year.
