KSI vs Joe Fournier Preview
This next weekend will mark KSI’s return to the ring for his most important bout to date, which will take place against Joe Fournier, his first professional boxing opponent.
When KSI squares off against Joe Fournier in an exhibition bout on Saturday, May 13, it will be the most difficult challenge he has faced in his boxing career to this point.
In 2018, YouTuber and musician KSI competed in his first amateur boxing match, which he won by knocking out Joe Weller. The Londoner then engaged in a fight with Logan Paul in August of that year at Manchester Arena, which ended in a draw. After being promoted to the professional ranks, the fight took place at the Staples Center, where KSI prevailed against Paul in a split decision. August 2022 marked KSI’s comeback to competition, and on their first night back, they won over Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
Fournier, who works in business, began boxing in 2015. His last professional bout was a retirement win against Reykon in April 2021, giving him a record of 9-0 with one no-contest in the record books. The exhibition fight between David Haye and the Brit took place in 2021 and resulted in a loss for the Brit by unanimous decision.
The YouTuber and rapper made his comeback to the ring in August of last year, three years after his two-fight series versus Logan Paul. Since then, he has won victories against professional boxer Luis Pineda and rapper Swarmz in a “two fights in one-night event.” KSI’s most recent bout, which took place in January of this year against FaZe Temperrr, was a resounding victory for KSI, who defeated his Brazilian opponent with relative ease.
The 29-year-old star will also be seeking to get closer to a showdown with Jake Paul if he can prevail over the formidable Fournier, who is 40 years old and a self-proclaimed ‘boxing millionaire’ with a professional record of 9-0. If the star can defeat Fournier, he will edge closer to a bout with Paul.
Ahead of the battle, KSI has struck a tone that is both confident and apprehensive, stating that he is enjoying the opportunity to put his skills to the ‘test’ against Fournier: “I believe for me with this fight, I felt like I needed to step up. I had an overwhelming feeling that I needed to put myself to the test, much as Jake Paul competed against Tommy Fury and came up short.
“I want to be the one who ends up being successful. My coaches have drilled it into my head that this is going to be a tough battle, and I am well prepared for it.
