We present a search strategy for the first Kaluza–Klein (KK) mode of the Higgs boson in the framework of the Randall–Sundrum (RS) model with a deformed metric. We study the production of this massive excitation in association with a 
pair at the large hadron collider (LHC). The KK Higgs primarily decays into a boosted 
final state and we then end up with an interesting four-top final state of which two are boosted. The boosted products in the final state improve the sensitivity for the search of the KK Higgs in this channel whose production cross-section is otherwise rather small. Our results suggest that masses of the KK Higgs resonance upto about 1.2 TeV may be explorable at the highest planned luminosities of the LHC. Beyond this mass, the KK Higgs cross-section is too tiny for it to be explored at the LHC and may be possible only at a future higher energy collider.
