Conor McGregor compliments KSI after illegal KO win over Joe Fournier

Conor McGregor admitted that he "liked" the illegal elbow KSI knocked out Joe Fournier with in their boxing match this past weekend.

YouTube boxer KSI remained unbeaten in the ring by stopping professional boxer Fournier in the second round of their fight at the Wembley Arena. 'The Nightmare' had 'boxing billionaire' Fournier badly hurt after landing a big overhand right and he closed the show moments later, but instantly reply of the stoppage showed the fight-ending shot was an illegal elbow.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor was quizzed on Twitter about the stoppage, to which he replied: "I seen it, I liked it. He goin’, fair play, KSI." McGregor previously mocked KSI in January ahead of his ill-fated fight against Bellator MMA star Dillon Danis by labelling him a "friendly little nerd", also insisting that he "couldn't care less" about influencer boxing.
