And the Brit will need to meet Paul, who he has been aching to fight for the past two years - as The Trouble Child will be at the corner of Wassabi.

According to Keemstar (Youtube and Instagram), the YouTube star reportedly shared the news via Twitter.

Paul and Wassabi did not confirm the partnership. This would be a problem for KSI.

Paul will corner Wassabi three weeks after his showdown against Hasim Rahman Jr.

At Madison Square Garden, the former Disney star will face Rahman Jr., the son of Hasim Sr., a former heavyweight champion.

Since his controversial split decision win over Paul's brother Logan, KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) has not been in the ring.

He'll be even more determined to raise his hand against Wassabi, who beat his younger brother Deji back in March.

The 29-year old is looking forward to the challenge ahead and says: "I can't WAIT to punch the man with whom I have been beef for years."

"The man I have laughed at for years, my brother's beating man, the man who has signed his death wish every time we enter the ring.

"I am a different animal, and you will realize that fact on August 27, 2007"

However, KSI is already in serious trouble going into the fight after he suffered a BROKEN NO during training.

He stated that he had broken his nose. This is my nose, and it's not looking good bruv.

"It looks better now, but it was too long for man at the time it happened."
