King Kenny is an English YouTuber and professional boxer best known for his prank videos on his YouTube channel KingKennyTv. He is also one of five members of the YouTube group Beta Squad with fellow YouTubers Niko Omilana, Chunkz, Aj Shabeel, and Sharky. Alongside YouTube, he has started participating in professional and exhibition boxing matches like many other internet influencers.
YouTube Career
King Kenny had originally started his social media career with the YouTube channel KenDaKid, although he had to shut it down due to copyright infringement. He later launched a new channel titled KingKennyTv on July 3, 2013, but the earliest video on the channel, New Channel - king kenny tv - Welcome to my world :D, was not posted until March 2014. While he initially made a few vlogs and other videos, his channel soon became primarily a hub for prank videos. He also started to feature his 8-year-old brother Wisdom in his prank videos like TEACHING A 8 YEAR OLD HOW TO DRIVE *ALMOST DIED* *POLICE CALLED* and TEACHING A 8 YEAR OLD HOW TO DRIVE *SOMEONE DIES* #2.
Apart from pranks, he often created Fortnite-related content with his brother on the channel, including 1 KILL = 10,000 V BUCKS FOR MY 9-YEAR-OLD BROTHER (FORTNITE) and 9 Year Old Kid WINS 10,000 V BUCKS In 1 Kill = 1 Spin Challenge! For a brief period, the two brothers also uploaded a few videos on another channel called King Kenny Extra, but it is currently inactive. He later created a separate personal channel called King Kenny More in September 2021 and continues to post updates about his life, channel, boxing matches, etc. there. In February 2019, he joined the British YouTube group Beta Squad with fellow YouTubers Niko Omilana, Chunkz, Aj Shabeel, and Sharky.
Boxing Career
King Kenny made his boxing debut in an exhibition match against YouTube gamer FaZe Temperrr on March 5, 2022, but lost. He then won two back-to-back professional matches, against FaZe Sensei on August 27, 2022 and against DK Money on November 19, 2022. However, he then lost a professional match against Ashley Rak-Su on March 4, 2023. It was followed by two more exhibition match wins against My Mate Nate on April 22, 2023 and Whindersson Nunes on July 15, 2023. However, he lost his last pro match against Anthony Taylor on October 14, 2023 for the vacant MFB light heavyweight title.
During his appearance on The Good Enough Podcast in January 2024, he revealed his plans to make a return to boxing in March or April. The same month, it was announced that he will go head-to-head with female YouTuber and streamer Talia Mar on an “exclusive map" live on Twitch in a partnership event with the army called “Operation: Belong”. The move drew a lot of criticism, with YouTuber ImAllexx calling it "dystopian" and "disturbing".

King Kenny was born as Kenny Oghenovo Ojuederie and has a brother named Wisdom who often appears on his YouTube videos.
