As of yet, the venue is currently unknown.

But there's already bad blood between the two after a dramatic face-off in the ring at Misfits 20.

KSI revealed his original opponent withdrew and called out Bridge, before the pair came face to face and KSI threw jibes at the former England hero for his past fall outs with ex-team-mate John Terry.

Team mates at Chelsea, Bridge and Terry famously fell out over allegations that Terry had an affair with Bridge's ex-partner, Vanessa Perroncel, in 2009, which she has denied.

He said: "Wayne Bridge, aren't you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex. That is what you are known for."

Bridge replied: "You want to go there do you?"
