Olajide Olayinka Williams "JJ" Olatunji[c] (pronunciation born 19 June 1993), known professionally as KSI,[d] is a British influencer, musician, and former professional boxer.

He is a co-founding member of YouTube group the Sidemen, the co-founder of Misfits Boxing and co-owner of several businesses, including Prime Hydration and Lunchly. KSI has also served as a judge on Britain's Got Talent since 2026.

He was involved in a white-collar boxing match against Joe Weller in February 2018. Two further boxing events against American YouTuber Logan Paul took place, the second of which was a professional bout in which he won via split decision in November 2019.

In August 2022, he fought two people in the same night, defeating rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda.

In 2023, he fought FaZe Temperrr in January, Joe Fournier in May, and Tommy Fury in October, which he lost via unanimous decision.
