KSI was seriously impressed with YouTuber OJ Rose's knockout against reality TV star Callum Izzard on Saturday night.

The pair fought on the ninth edition of KSI's promotional company Misfits Boxing's collaboration with DAZN, with Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers and ex-Love Islander Idris Virgo in the main event.

Rose and Izzard engaged in a brutal battle, both swinging wildly from the opening bell.

But, it was Rose who came out on top, as in round three he marked the beginning of the end with a clean one two that saw Izzard's head drop.

From this point, Rose was landing at will and a crushing right uppercut saw Izzard fall to his knees, as the referee waved off the contest.

Ringside footage shows KSI stood up with his hands on his head and his mouth wide open, clearly stunned by the knockout.

And the social media star turned boxer will be hoping to pull off a similar shot when he comes up against Tommy Fury.

The two men are due to fight on October 14 and the build-up to the fight has been heated with Fury promising to send KSI home in an ambulance on fight night.

Meanwhile, KSI told DAZN: "I cannot wait to destroy Tommy Fury [on] October 14 ladies and gentlemen...

“A YouTuber is going to knock out Tommy Fury and there’s nothing you can do about it.
