KSI Drops Surprise Remix with Headie One & Nines During Double KO at The O2

After hitting #1 on The Official Big Top 40 with his summer smash, “Not Over Yet” featuring BRIT and Ivor Novello-nominated star Tom Grennan, 3x BRIT nominated KSI premiered the official remix during his highly anticipated return to the ring tonight at The O2, London drafting in trailblazing rappers Headie One and Nines. The remix is out now and available to listen to HERE.

 

The inaugural MF & DAZN: X SERIES 001, powered by Misfits Boxing witnessed KSI defeat rapper Swarmz after 2 rounds. Continuing to defy expectations and break the traditional boundaries of boxing, KSI also conquered 23-year-old professional boxer from Mexico, Luis Alacarez Pineda. In a showstopping finale, King of Drill, Headie One performed the remix in front of a 20,000 strong sold-out crowd at The O2 and a global livestream audience via DAZN PPV during KSI’s final ring walk of the night.

 

KSI says, “This collaboration is perfect for my fight return. Headie one and Nines came through and took this song to another level, capturing the spectacle of my boxing return at The O2.”

 

Witnessing the spectacle were some of the biggest names in music, sport and entertainment including Big Zuu, Chris Eubank Jr., David Haye, Davide Sanclimenti, Joel Dommett, Kano, Lady Leshurr, Logan Paul, Louis Theroux, Mo Gilligan, Saffron Barker and Snoochie Shy.

 

Tonight, marked almost 3 years since KSI’s initial record-breaking foray into boxing when he fought Logan Paul at a sold-out Staples Centre in 2019 which became the biggest white-collar fight in history. “Down Like That”, the track that was released during the 2019 bout featuring Rick Ross, Lil Baby & S-X remains one of KSI’s most successful singles.

 

Not Over Yet” is produced by Digital Farm Animals (Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding Mimi Webb) and Billen Ted (Mae Muller, JC Stewart, Armin van Buuren) and written alongside Sara Boe (Anne-Marie, Birdy, Zara Larsson) and Rick Boardman (Marshmello, Louis Tomlinson, Clean Bandit).

A pioneering, YouTuber (fourth most followed channel for a British artist behind Ed Sheeran, One Direction and Adele) approaching 20 billion cumulative views, his 40.8 million subscribers know him as a creator, an artist, a mate who brings the passion (and the jokes) to whatever he does. He’s a businessman with a portfolio of interests, from owning his own music label, The Online Takeover and his own boxing promotions company, Misfits Boxing to one of the fastest growing beverages, his Prime Hydration drink (recently partnered with Arsenal FC) is set to surpass $140 million in revenue in its first year. As a performer and all-round entertainer, he can light up stages (Reading, TRNSMT, a Wembley headline) and screen: an upcoming documentary for Prime Video, produced by Louis Theroux, promises to lift the lid on the extraordinary life of the 29-year-old from Watford. And as a boxer, the amateur-turned-professional fighter is undefeated, with his last bout, against Logan Paul at Los Angeles Staples Centre in 2019, a global pay-per-view knockout. 27th August marks his return to the ring when he steps out at London’s O2 to fight rapper Swarmz and professional boxer, Luis Alcarez Pineda. As a musician with over 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, he’s also well-versed in coming out on top. His second album, summer 2021’s All Over the Place entered the charts at #1, an emphatic follow-up to the previous year’s debut, Dissimulation, a #2 hit which was the biggest selling debut album of 2020. In rapid succession there’s been a flurry of hits, on his own merits (making him the British Breakthrough Artist of 2020) and with others (Don’t Play with Anne-Marie, Lighter with Nathan Dawe), making for eight Top Ten singles in total. As prolific as he is innovative, KSI was the only artist to be nominated twice in the Song of the Year category at the 2022 Brit Awards. That’s KSI in 2022: in the ring and in the charts, he’s punching well above his weight. Get ready for his next knockout.
