Joe Fournier ranks KSI above Jake Paul in YouTube boxing ahead of grudge fight

KSI's upcoming opponent Joe Fournier believes that his rival is the best fighter to come out of the influencer boxing space, ahead of rivals like Jake Paul.

The 9-0 boxer, who once held WBA international gold, will face his fellow Brit on May 13 at the OVO Arena, Wembley in the biggest test of the 29-year-old's boxing career. There is no love lost between the duo, with KSI frequently referring to his rival's extravagant outfits as "fake", and their last press conference got physical when Fournier pushed his opponent during their face-off.

But in a new video for the Misfits Boxing YouTube channel, the pair went face-to-face, with Fournier showing a surprising amount of respect to KSI. He did laugh off the idea that the social media star would be his toughest test to date but admitted that he feels that he's facing the best YouTube boxer.
