He's set to fight Tommy Fury on Saturday
This morning (12th October) Jordan and Perri were joined on KISS Breakfast by KSI, ahead of his highly-anticipated fight with Love Island star Tommy Fury.
And, KSI totally dropped the bomb by telling Jordan and Perri he was going to become a dad! "I'm going to have child, oh, you don't know?" he said, leaving Jordan and Perri stunned.
"Tommy Fury's going to be my son," he told them: "I'm adopting Tommy Fury, I'm going to change his name to Tommy Fumbles." 🤣
The rapper was then asked if he had to give up Prime or boxing, what would it be, to which he replied: "I'd say, if it was after the Tommy fight then, yeah, I'd give up boxing. At that point, I've done what I needed to do!"

KSI didn't finish school
Apparently, when money-savvy KSI found out he was earning more than his teachers from YouTube and sponsorship deals, he decided to quit when he was in sixth form. He has admitted that his parents weren't too supportive of his decision.
In an interview on This Morning in January 2023, KSI explained his decision in more detail: "It got to the point where I spoke to my teacher and you know like, 'I'm making this amount' and he was like, 'How much is it?' and I was like, '£1,500 a month'.
"He was like 'that's more than me'. I was like 'rah' and at that point, I was like I'm out! I don't need to be at school anymore."
Of his parents' reaction, he opened up: "They wanted me to be a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, all of that and I had no interest in that. First of all, I just wasn't smart enough - that was just a lot for me to do. I couldn't go into sport because I was just terrible. I was just terrible at all of that so I told my parents I wanted to be a YouTuber and they laughed.
"They were just like, 'We worked so hard to get you into private school… We're in debt, so much debt to get you into the best position possible and you want to throw it away to just be a YouTuber and I was like 'yes!'" Thankfully, KSI was able to pay back his parents' debts!
