KSI's new boxing promotion Misfits has announced the first-ever WWE style tag-team boxing match, as the YouTuber continues to push celebrity fights into the limelight.

The Misfits upcoming show in Telford next month, the fifth hosted by KSI since starting up his new boxing promotion, will be headlined by Jay Swinger and Nichlmao.

But there is a huge twist on KSI's next show, promising a 'double trouble' - a tag-team boxing match between two teams of social media stars, that will include the YouTube sensation's former boxing rival Luis Pineda.

The Mexican, who was comically knocked out by KSI last summer, will join up with BDave to take on Canadian comedian Kyle 'Stromedy' Godfrey and Austin Sprinz, the 'Fantastic 2', who share millions of followers on social media in a 2v2 on the under-card at the Telford International Center on March, 4.

The Misfits co-president Mams Taylor confirmed the announcement in an interview on its official YouTube channel.

'People will hate on it, people will love it, some will understand, some won't,' promoter Mams Taylor told the promotion's YouTube channel.

'But at the end of the day this is what Misfits is about. We've got serious competition in there, we have fun, we have antics, we have sports entertainment and that's what we're about.

'So get used to it, love it, lump it, whatever you want. But we're here to stay and make some noise in an area which it's never been done before. Real combat sports, with real entertainment on another level.' 

In a brief statement on Twitter, KSI shared the announcement with a series of laughing emojis, saying: 'Boxing Purists ain't going to like this one.'  

The tag-team bout will take place under standard boxing rules for fighters in the ring, with 16oz gloves used to make the fight safer. 

Although the exact rules on tagging opponents in and out during the fight is yet to be decided.   

'It's a little bit safer for everyone,' Taylor added. 'If people are concerned 'what about the safety?' The rules will ensure that there's safety precautions put in place. 

'Look, this is boxing, this isn't a pottery class, this isn't golf, this isn't darts. If you get in that ring, it isn't safe.

'You can make it safer by doing certain things and we already do that by the most stringent testing. 

'The medicals, everything else we have is more thorough than traditional professional boxing. So we take all the measures but we still want to make sure that we entertain and that's what it's about for us.'
