KSI has revealed that he's suffered a nasty eye injury in training for his fight against Joe Fournier.
The British YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to return to the ring on May 13 at London's Wembley Arena, however his preparations are irrefutably not going as he would have hoped.
KSI has recently been embroiled in a scandal after using a racial slur as an answer during a Countdown-inspired YouTube video, which has since been taken down.
The 29-year-old has repeatedly apologised in the wake of the controversy and cut a far more reserved figure than his usual self at last week's press conference to preview his fight with Fournier.
Now, KSI has returned to YouTube and revealed his latest setback - a gruesome injury to his left eye.
"Mind the eye," he said as he instantly addressed his altered facial appearance at the start of his new video.
"I did it in sparring, just a clash of heads.
"But yeah, training camp is going well, obviously I took a little break [from social media].
"I feel like it was good for me, I was really able to just step back and reflect on my whole life, my whole situation.
"Because I feel like I've just been going at 100mph in general, especially this year.
