Jake Paul's ex-boxing coach helps to train KSI's rival Joe Fournier for showdown

Jake Paul's former coach BJ Flores is helping Joe Fournier prepare for his upcoming fight against KSI.

'Boxing billionaire' Fournier, 40, serves as the latest opponent for YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI as the pair meet at Misfits Boxing 7 on May 13 at Wembley Arena. Fournier holds an unbeaten professional record of 9-0 with most of his wins coming on the regional circuit in the Dominican Republic. The 40-year-old hasn't stepped foot in the ring since being beaten by former two-weight world champion David Haye in September 2021.

Paul parted ways with his trainer Flores after suffering the first defeat of his professional career to Love Island star Tommy Fury in February. Fournier has now posted a video with Flores as he gears up for his fight against KSI and the trainer said of Fournier's skills: "I don't want to say too much but you looked good, a lot of good things today. Showing some good tools and good weapons, looking forward to the next few sessions. It'll be a good fight."
