Famous British celebrity KSI returned to the boxing ring to face a businessman-turned-boxer at the latest Misfit Boxing fight event. The bout was not a professional boxing match. It was an exhibition bout consisting of six rounds. KSI knocked out Joe Fournier in the second round, but it was without controversy.

The popular YouTuber stunned Fournier in the second round with a swift overhand attack. As Fournier moved backward to protect himself, KSI threw a barrage of strikes, and one of them landed clean, knocking Fournier out. However, analysts and boxing fans witnessed the replay of KSI landing an illegal elbow to knock out Fournier.

KSI has consistently called out Jake Paul and Tommy Fury for a boxing bout. In his sole professional boxing bout, KSI won a split decision over Jake’s brother Logan Paul. The YouTuber-turned-boxer believes a fight with Jake Paul can generate huge PPV revenues. He only fought Fournier to avoid any ring rust.

Ring rust is a real thing. Athletes may not return to peak form if they sit out of active competition for an extended period. KSI fought Fournier to remain in active competition and entice Tommy Fury or Paul to a boxing match. However, KSI came under fan scrutiny as he illegally elbowed Fournier to win the match.

As soon as the result was announced, Tommy Fury entered the ring to promote a possible future bout between the both. Fury has a professional record of nine wins and no losses. If both boxers agree on a contract, KSI will compete in his second career boxing bout.

The fight would be massive in the United Kingdom as both hail from there. England has not had a Brit vs. Brit contest in lower weight classes in the 21st century. KSI is a popular YouTuber, and Fury is the younger brother of the heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. A potential fight would be massive for English boxing fans.
