KSI has suggested he is "scared for" his rival Joe Fournier as he plans a big KO in his latest YouTube boxing fight.
YouTube star KSI has made a significant return to the ring in his influencer boxing career and will make his latest big step in a tough examination against Fournier at the OVO Wembley Arena on May 14. 'The Nightmare' has had several successful outings since returning to the ring last August including wins over Swarmz, Luis Pineda and most recently against FaZe Temperrr.
Fournier will provide the toughest test of his credentials to date given his seven professional wins which even saw him pick up a WBA international light-heavyweight title. Having stopped all of his rivals so far since making his comeback, KSI has warned Fournier that his power should not be disrespected despite having less experience.
He said during an interview with his promotional label Misfits Boxing: “I can’t wait to show the world what Jake Paul couldn’t, knock out a pro boxer. Each fight, people are seeing a better KSI and I’m honestly scared for Fournier because once I land my right or left hand on his chin, it’s night night. As soon as people enter the ring with me, they realise they are in hell.
"And they either leave the ring bruised, battered or sleeping. In the ring, I am an evil man. Honestly I have power in both hands these days, I am a scary man and I bring the fight. I am not here to tactically beat you, I am here to bring the pain and I am here on pace ready to go every round. I have had a few people who have said I don't have any power.
"But it says a lot when I hit Swarmz and Pineda and they didn't want any part of it. Then you saw it when FaZe Temperrr when he was unable to stand up. It just shows that I am getting better, I am on a different level and I am able to constantly show it. I think he knows that he is sleeping."

KSI is eyeing a number of huge fights if he is able to progress beyond Fournier including settling his rivalry with Jake Paul. The American is expected to first meet Tommy Fury in a rematch before the fight can be made, which was initially targeted for December.
Negotiations are currently on hold while both men prepare for their next exploits, but a winner-takes-all public agreement has been put in place by both fighters. KSI and Paul returned to do social media battle earlier this week after the Briton's fight announcement demanding that they each sign the contract.
