'Boxing billionaire' Joe Fournier ready to replace Dillon Danis and fight KSI

Joe Fournier has insisted he will replace Dillon Danis if he pulls out of his upcoming fight against YouTube star KSI.

Fournier, 39, holds a professional record of 9-0 but is mostly known for his exhibition clash with former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion David Haye last September. The pair went eight rounds in an uneventful affair as Haye won a unanimous decision against his pal, with Fournier earning $6million for the farcical fight.

The 'boxing billionaire' makes his fighting return on the undercard of KSI's upcoming Misfits x DAZN event on January 14, in which the YouTuber faces Conor McGregor's training partner Danis. Fournier announced he will fight former UFC flop Tony Christodoulou on the card whilst adding he is ready to fill in for Danis if he needs to.
