KSI is preparing for what is the biggest test in his career as a crossover boxer when he takes on Tommy Fury in the main event of MF & DAZN: X Series 10.
Fury has already beaten one huge name in this particular space after beating Jake Paul in February, and now looks to add another win over an entertainment star onto his resume.
However, while Fury is being billed as a favourite, KSI's awkward and front foot style could cause problems for "TNT".
As ever when these huge crossover fights come around, some of boxing's biggest names fancy their chances against those competing and now former world super middleweight champion Carl Froch has expressed a desire in facing KSI, albeit in an exhibition bout.
"I could be tempted back - but not for a proper fight, maybe an exhibition. I’ve got too much respect for professional boxing to jump in with a pro boxer and try and compete at a level that I know I’d need to be at," Froch told luckyblock.com.
“Unless there was someone I thought - he’s absolutely useless and he’s a world champ.
“I retired at nearly 37 for a reason and that reason was that the desire was gone. And physically it was getting harder and harder. So, if it was too hard for me to do nine years ago, I’m not stupid enough to think I could do it now.
“So, I wouldn’t fight now in a boxing professional capacity, but I would have a boxing play-fight with an exhibition with some clown like Jake Paul or KSI.”
