5 minKSI vs. FaZe Temperrr Prediction, Pick, Odds, Preview: Will KSI Dominate This Fight?
On Saturday, KSI will compete in his third professional bout—his sixth overall—in the boxing ring. The 29-year-old from Britain will take on Brazilian YouTube sensation Faze Temper after defeating Swarmz and Luis Alcarez Pineda in a single night in August.
Dillon Danis was supposed to be the opponent, but the former UFC fighter withdrew, so Temperrr, a Brazilian internet sensation whose real name is Thomas Oliveira, stepped up from the undercard.
In just the most recent example of two YouTubers taking over the boxing world, this fight will feature a rekindled rivalry between the Sidemen and the Faze family. Here is all the info you need to know about the occasion, along with a prediction.

KSI vs. FaZe Temperrr Preview
KSI (4-0-1, 3 KOs)
Despite having just one official “professional” fight, a split decision win over Logan Paul in 2019, KSI is becoming a known commodity in boxing. His aforementioned August 2022 night was something to remember, as KSI fought twice at the O2 Arena in London, knocking out both opponents inside three rounds.
Though they were both exhibitions against relative unknowns, KSI put the boxing world on notice of the kind of power he’s capable of. While a much anticipated third matchup against Logan Paul has long been in the works, some think this matchup vs. Temperrr could be much closer than the odds currently indicate.
FaZe Temperrr (2-1-0, 1 KOs)
More commonly known for FaZe Clan, an esports organization known for its prowess in Call of Duty, Temperrr does have some experience inside of the ring. This will be, however, his first professional fight, with the others up to this point being exhibitions.
Temperrr will also be dealing with a relatively last-minute placement, as he was scheduled to fight on the undercard before stepping in to replace Danis. Standing at 6’4”, Temperrr's primary advantage will be his reach, something he’d be wise to take advantage of early and often.
KSI vs. FaZe Temperrr Prediction
Though there will be a noticeable difference in size and reach, with Temperrr holding about four inches in both categories, KSI is the much cleaner and more technical boxer. As the odds movement suggests, KSI should have no problem with this matchup and largely be able to pick his round if he chooses to end it early.
