KSI’s return to the ring against 9-0 pro-boxer Joe Fournier at the Wembley Arena in London left social media sensation Logan Paul seemingly impressed with the Brit’s performance. Notwithstanding the contentious manner in which KSI won the fight, Logan Paul posted on Twitter his and his fiancée Nina Agdal’s in-the-moment response to the knockout.
In the video, Logan can be heard saying, “Oh he’s dead, he killed him! Oh my god! Oh he killed him!”

The contest was meant to be KSI’s hardest test to yet, but he handled the 40-year-old Fournier with ease. Although there wasn’t much action in the opening round of the fight, the Englishman began out strong and dominated the distance from the opening bell.
Joe Fournier, 40, was knocked out in the second round by an inadvertent elbow to the face after KSI caught him with a powerful overhand right in the opening round that appeared to stagger him. Following the contest, Jake and Logan both posted comments on social media about KSI’s contentious victory. Logan paid respect to his PRIME partner in crime by saying “Another one.”

After the way Saturday’s main event went, Fournier is demanding a rematch with KSI, but KSI is probably going to go on to a fight with Fury. After that, given that KSI previously defeated Logan back in 2019, the English social media sensation will try to schedule a long-awaited matchup with Jake Paul.
I respect boxing too much to respect what that was. If that was indeed a real boxing match it will be ruled a no contest or disqualification.

Since the playback revealed that the elbow was impacted rather than the glove, he found it difficult to accept the loss.
