KSI explains why he\u2019s giving back his Misfits boxing title DAZNYouTube star KSI has explained why he\u2019s giving back his Misfits cruiserweight champion title, stating he has \u201cother plans.\u201d After kicking off the whole trend in 2018, KSI has been one of the pioneers of influencer boxing. Taking a brief hiatus from stepping into the ring, the YouTube star returned in 2022 with a bang, facing two opponents in one night. Not only that, his boxing promotion company Misfits landed a five-year deal with DAZN, putting more influencers than ever in the ring throughout 2023. KSI too had his fair share of fights throughout the year, touching gloves with FaZe Clan co-founder Temperrr, the \u2018boxing billionaire\u2019 Joe Fournier, and Tommy Fury in the highly anticipated Prime Card. KSI announces he\u2019s giving back his Misfits boxing title Despite being given his first loss at the hands of Fury in late 2023, KSI still holds Misfits\u2019 cruiserweight crown. However, on January 29, the Prime co-founder announced in a post on Twitter\/X that he would be relinquishing his boxing title, explaining that he has other plans in the works. \u201cI have enjoyed the honor of being The Misfits Cruiserweight Champion immensely,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI have other plans in the pipeline and it wouldn\u2019t be fair for me to hold that title any longer so\u2026\u201d He added: \u201cI am relinquishing the belt and a new champion will be crowned on the next Survivor Tag!\u201d The announcement came following a call out from popular Misfits fighter Slim \u2018The Hitman\u2019 Albaher, who was gunning for a shot at taking on KSI for the title. With that said, it\u2019s unclear what\u2019ll be in store next for the British YouTube star, whether it be a fight with long-time rival Jake Paul or a bout with \u2018The Notorious\u2019 UFC star Conor McGregor who he\u2019s been eyeing up for quite some time. KSI claimed it\u2019d be unlikely he\u2019d fight again. However, the YouTuber has since confirmed he\u2019ll be getting back in the ring at some point in 2024 \u2014 but his opponent remains a mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
