KSI controversially knocked out 'boxing billionaire' Joe Fournier with an ELBOW in the second round of their fight.
'The Nightmare' bagged his second knockout win of the calendar year after stopping FaZe Temperrr in January. KSI came firing out of the blocks as the bell sounded to get his fight with Fournier underway, quickly tossing his rival to the ground with an MMA-style throw that wasn't scored as a knockdown
After an uneventful first round, KSI landed a huge overhand right in the second stanza that forced Fournier on the retreat. The nightclub owner was badly hurt and KSI finished the fight just moments later. Instant reply showed the fight-ending blow came in the form of an accidental elbow, but the result still went down as a knockout win in KSI's favour regardless of the illegal blow.
KSI said after the win: "I want to give a big shoutout to every single one of you that came through to see me from my bedroom playing FIFA to knocking out a 9-0 pro. First round I tried to give him a fly-by and we weren't able to get it. the timing was off and he was keeping that awkward range.
"I just saw it was open for the overhand. the overhand he said he wouldn't get caught with is the same overhand that I knocked his a** out with." KSI was then questioned by commentator Todd Grisham about the illegal elbow, to which he replied: "Nah bro, I hit him with a massive shot. He was dazed and scrambling, trying to hold onto me for dear life. I was like 'Brudda, it's D-day, your soul is mine.'"

KSI then called out professional boxer in Tommy Fury after his win - and the Love Island star got in the ring to face-off with him. "I wanna do this, do what Jake Paul couldn’t and knock you out. I want it this year, I’m hungry. I need it, you’re getting f***ed," KSI told Fury to which he replied: "Sign me up, easy money, you are going to sleep in four rounds. No defence, no head movement, you’re getting knocked out. You will be ticked off and Misfits is going to be over."
Security were then forced to break up a scuffle between KSI and Fury as they pushed each other and almost came to blows. Fury was last in action against KSI's bitter rival Jake Paul in February, winning a unanimous decision to hand the YouTuber boxer his first professional defeat.
