KSI's win against Joe Fournier has been overturned to a "no decision" after he knocked out the nightclub owner with an illegal elbow.
The YouTube boxer competed in his second fight of the calendar year last weekend against Fournier having previously knocked out content creator FaZe Temperrr in January. KSI had Fournier on wobbly legs in the second round after landing a big overhand right and he found the stoppage just moments later, but instant reply proved the fight-ending blow came in the form of an elbow.
Fournier lodged an appeal with the PBA [Professional Boxing Association] earlier this week and the governing body have now overturned the result to a no decision. A statement from the PBA read: "Even though KSI was winning the fight, the blow with the forearm/elbow has been found to be accidental and the obvious disappointment that will follow, it has been decided that the contest is declared a no decision in accordance with the rules."
