YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI will look to move one step closer to a fight against Jake Paul when he faces Joe Fournier in his latest exhibition clash.
KSI, 29, made his boxing return last August after almost three years out on from his two-fight series against Logan Paul, who is now his business partner as the pair Prime Energy together. KSI beat professional boxer Luis Pineda and rapper Swarmz in a farcical 'two fights in one night event' and was last in action against FaZe Temperrr in January.
Fournier, 40, is a self-proclaimed 'boxing billionaire' with a professional record of 9-0. Despite his unbeaten record, none of Fournier's wins have come against world-level competition with most taking place on the regional circuit in the Dominican Republic. Fournier hasn't fought since being beaten by former two-weight world champion David Haye in their September 2021 exhibition. So here's all you need to know about the fight...

KSI : "I think for me with this fight, I felt like I needed to level up. I felt like I really needed to test myself, same with how Jake Paul tested himself against Tommy Fury and failed. I want to be the person that succeeds. I know this is going to be a hard fight, my coaches have told me this several times. I know Joe is not going to make this easy for me but I've trained so hard for this.
Fournier : "At the end of the day I'm coming to take this guy's whole legacy and be the new face of Misfits. I want to have a scrap with the guy, I don't want to just put him to sleep in 40 seconds. This is me standing there as 180lb throwing real punches in 10oz gloves that I'm very accustomed to. I will like to trade with him, I want to stand there in the middle of the ring and put on fireworks."
