Two supersized stars to smash record for heaviest-ever boxing fight on KSI card
Two YouTube stars are ready to steal the show on the undercard of KSI's return to the ring – while smashing heaviest bout records.
Boogie2988 is set to face fellow social media sensation Wings of Redemption at Wembley Arena on May 13 – the same night KSI vs Joe Fournier headlines MF & DAZN: X Series 007.
The pair have both shared training footage as they look to prepare for their grudge bout across the Atlantic – together weighing around 800lbs.

Call of Duty playing Boogie2988, real name Steven Jay Williams, once weighed-in at 35st 5lbs (495lbs) until having gastric bypass surgery four years back.
Last July he hit the scales at 26st 13lbs (377lbs) in a testament to his desire to get healthy.
Wings of Redemption, Richard Samuel Jordan, once weighed 32st 2lbs (450lbs) since shifting some pounds but the accumulated weight is still enough for the record.

The bout is set to last for three rounds according to the announcement, with each round lasting two minutes.
Boogie said on YouTube channel Drama Alert: "I'm going into this thing with the plan to win. But if I could make it all the way through three rounds I will be happy with that.
"If I'm still standing at the end I will be very proud of myself. There are going to be some people tuning in to watch two fat guys and make fun of them.
"There's also hopefully going to be a few people who are inspired by this."
KSI, who has wins over Logan Paul, and Temperrr to his name among others, has said: "Oh my God. If someone would have told me this would happen 10 years ago I would have laughed and blocked them.
"Fam I still can't believe it's happening."
