The bout is scheduled to take place on 31 August at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland and will include a special concert following the main event featuring KSI.
Originally, English internet personality KSI was scheduled to return to the ring and face American YouTuber Slim Albaher and American mixed martial artist Anthony Taylor in an outnumbered tag team match. The bout was cancelled due to an injury KSI sustained.[32]
On 2 June 2024, KSI confirmed on Twitter his return to ring for August 2024 after a back-and-forth with Jake Paul.[33] Paul then leaked supposedly that KSI's opponent would be former unified light welterweight champion Amir Khan, and offered to fight Khan in February 2025 if he immerged victorious.[34] Khan then responded to Paul seamlessly confirming his next bout against KSI.[35] On 4 June, Khan confirmed he's deep in negotiations to face KSI next.[36]
On 8 June however, KSI uploaded a YouTube confirming the bout with Khan will not happen in August and instead later on in the year. KSI then challenged Slim Albaher and Anthony Taylor to a 2 vs 1 outnumbered tag team match, giving them 24 hours to accept.[37] Within an hour, both Albaher and Taylor accepted on Twitter.[38] [39] On 30 June, the bout was officially announced between KSI, Albaher, and Taylor, along with a launch press conference at the Hilton London Wembley in London, England.[40] However, fans began to speculate if the bout had been cancelled following KSI deleting the bout announcement across his social media.[41] Albaher accused KSI of "ducking" their bout, stating he was the one who withdrew.[42] On 1 August, KSI confirmed his withdrawal in a Twitter post due to an injury sustained.
On 7 August, it was announced that Danny Aarons will now face former professional football player Danny Simpson as the new headliner for X Series 17, following Beavo's withdrawal due to injury. Additionally, KSI will perform a special concert in place of his previously scheduled bout.[43]
