KSI has turned to healthy curries, sparring sessions and brutal track runs for his boxing return.
The YouTube, music and celebrity prizefighter faces online rival Faze Temperrr on Saturday at Wembley Arena.

It comes six months after he beat rapper Swarmz, 26, and Mexican boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the SAME NIGHT.
KSI continues to juggle a career as a boxer, content creator and business owner with his hectic daily schedule.
And here, the man himself gives SunSport an exclusive look into just how jam-packed a day in the life of KSI is.
Morning
KSI: I’ll wake up around 8am and I’ll have breakfast around 8.30am.
I’ll watch a bit of Philip DeFranco or John Oliver, chill for a little bit and then go to the car and head over to Shootfighters gym.
When I’m in the gym I’ll warm up on the rowing bike, do that for 100 calories, then I shadow box for four-six rounds.
Then we either work on technique, movement, things to improve on in sparring before bag and padwork.
I’ll do some cardio, I could go on the versaclimber or do various things with a heavy ball.
After that we’ll do abs, do a good circuit there and then I head back home to shower.

Afternoon
KSI: I’ll have lunch, watch anything, at the moment I’m watching The Legend of Vox Machina, which is actually really entertaining.
Then I’ll play games, Overwatch or Call of Duty, something like that.
If I have a bit of time I might record a YouTube video for my channel or I might record Reacts for Sidemen.
Afterwards, I’ll get ready for my second session, let’s say I’ll go on the track.
I’ll do 400 metre sprints, do that six times with one minute between and I’ll try and get good times.
It has to be under 1.20 every time, without fail. After that we’ll do bunny hops.
When this is finished I’ll head back home, shower, have dinner and chill. Maybe watch something, relax and then head to bed.
Sparring
Getting the rounds in the gym is vitally important for KSI, who is still new to the sport, and insists his fame does not afford him mercy.
KSI: People would hold back, because they’d be like, ‘Oh, he’s a YouTuber, he’s not really a fighter, I don’t want to put my all into it.’
And then I hit hard and they’re like, ‘Oh s***, wait, what? What’s going on?’ Then they put more into it.
Then you’ve got other people that are like, ‘I want to make a statement, you’re not meant to be in this world, this scene is different, you’re not a fighter.’
When I’m able to go toe-to-toe with them it makes them have a new level of respect for me.
Before the Logan fights, I definitely didn’t spar enough. Now I spar every other day, I get about ten-plus rounds a week.
I don’t hold back on my sparring partners, so if they hold back they’re getting knocked down.
I make them go all out, just my intensity. I’m always in their face, I love a jab.
I love putting people on their backfoot, I’m not a guy who likes being on the backfoot. But I can fight on the backfoot when I need to.
