Results of the DAZN undercard weigh-in for KSI vs. FaZe Temper from London
Following the signing of a long-term contract, The Misfits Boxing Series is prepared for its first event of the new year.
For their scheduled six-round fight to open MF+DAZN: X Series 004 at London's OVO Arena Wembley (Saturday, DAZN Pay-Per-View, $39.99), KSI and FaZe Temperrr both made weight. At 175 pounds, KSI was shredded on the scales. Temperr, who accepted the fight with less than two weeks' notice and replaced Dillon Danis, who ostensibly neglected to prepare for the bout that was announced about two months ago, weighed 175.9 pounds.
In his last appearance, KSI (actual name Olajide William "JJ" Olatunji) was seen defeating two opponents on the Misfits Boxing circuit, which he founded. The English Renaissance Man defeated rapper Swarmz and real-life boxer Luis Pineda by knockout. He is also a fighter, rapper, promoter, and businessman. Both fights took place during the inaugural MF+DAZN: X Series event at London's The O2. The fights were his first since he defeated Logan Paul by split decision in November 2019, a victory that helped to grow the popularity of YouTube boxing.
On the YouTube boxing scene, Temperr (actual name Thomas Oliveira) competes for the fourth time.
The 6'4" southpaw from Sao Paulo, Brazil, through Los Angeles, started his adventure here on March 22 by defeating King Kenny in a five-round decision. On X Series 001, the co-founder, CEO, and owner of the well-known gaming team FaZe Clan competed against Slim Albaher and was knocked out in the second round.
Last November 19 in Austin, Texas, Temperr made a comeback with a highlight-reel first-round knockout against Overtflow on X Series 003. He will compete on Saturday under the guidance of Malik Scott, a former heavyweight gatekeeper who now coaches former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
