KSI vs Tommy Fury has finally been made official after a difficult negotiation period.
The pair will face off at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14, live on DAZN PPV.
Logan Paul is also expected to be on the double header bill, though his opponent has yet to be announced.
Announcing the news on social media, KSI wrote: ‘OCTOBER 14, doing what Jake Paul couldn’t and beating Tommy Fury on the biggest night in crossover boxing history, at Manchester’s AO Arena, live on DAZN PPV on the PRIME CARD !’
For a while, it looked like the fierce rivals wouldn’t face each other this year after butting heads over the proposed weight.

KSI and Tommy Fury have been in negotiations since May after the British YouTube stars’ latest fight with Joe Fournier
Fury demanded the fight take place at 185 pounds, while KSI confirmed he would agree to the weight if a rehydration clause was included in their contract.
He tweeted, “Tommy, I want to knock you out so bad I’ll gain weight and weigh 185 pounds if you agree to weigh in on the morning of fight day. Nice fair fight. If not, you will forever be known as Tommy Ducky.”
In response, Fury said, “Here we go again guys, KSI goes on and on about how it’s my fault the contract hasn’t been signed yet.
“A few things to clear up, KSI has only just agreed to do drug testing for this fight and now he is complaining about the weight.
“This fight is at 185 pounds, take it or leave it. I know you’re a dwarf and worried about weight, but if you eat a little more you’ll get there.’
But an agreement has now been reached and the pair will be out on Misfits Boxing’s PRIME card at the end of the year.
The weight and number of rounds are not yet known at the time of writing.
This will be Fury’s first fight since defeating Jake Paul via split decision in February.
Meanwhile, KSI last fought Joe Fournier in May. The British YouTube star was initially declared the winner via knockout, but the decision was later overturned to a no contest due to an accidental elbow strike in the final series.
Logan Paul has also been booked to co-headline the card against a currently undisclosed opponent
