KSI admitted his win over Joe Fournier is tarnished after knocking out the nightclub owner with an illegal elbow.
The YouTube boxer competed in his second fight of the calendar year this past weekend having previously knocked out FaZe Temperrr in January. KSI bagged another knockout win but it didn't come without controversy as instant reply showed the fight-ending blow came in the form of an elbow. The sequence came just moments after KSI had Fournier on wobbly legs after landing a big overhand right.
Fournier was furious after the loss and said he intends to appeal the loss with the PBA [Professional Boxing Association] which sanctioned the event. KSI originally dismissed that he knocked out Fournier with an elbow when quizzed in his post-fight interview, but 'The Nightmare' has now issued a statement on Twitter admitting the illegal blow.
