The next boxing match for KSI, one of the pioneers of modern-day celebrity boxing, has finally been set. Prior to taking on Jake Paul, KSI is preparing to face Joe Fournier in his subsequent bout.
Combat sports participation has become increasingly popular among celebrities and personalities with significant social media influence. One of the main participants who kickstarted the trend was KSI. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been teasing a fight with Jake Paul for quite some now, but it turns out he has other plans before going up against The Problem Child.

When and where will KSI take on Joe Fournier?
KSI, Logan Paul’s partner in business, is now certainly prepared for the biggest challenges of his boxing career. He has been searching for a big fight for a while, and with Joe, he will undoubtedly be interested in staging an exhibition where he can display his charismatic boxing skills.
“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.”

The CEO of Misfits Boxing warns his next ring opponent to be ready for bruises or batters because in the ring the internet influencer is an ‘evil man’. In the main event of Misfits Boxing 4 at Wembley Arena in London in January, the YouTuber-turned-boxer defeated FaZe Temperrr.

In a little under two months, KSI faces Joe. The bout is slated to take place at the OVO Arena Wembley in London on May 13 and will be broadcast live on DAZN and DAZN PPV.
🤷♂️ “Fournier has more experience than Tommy Fury and Jake Paul. But the difference is, I’m KSI man.”

Fournier, who has a perfect 9-0 record in professional boxing, is anticipating a thrilling contest with KSI. The 40-year-old fighter has nine victories under his résumé, all via knockout. However, the billionaire boxer warns to break the heart of all KSI fans.
“I am going to break a lot of little hearts when they see KSI unconscious on the canvas. This is way too soon to fight me, but the deal is done, and just like Jake Paul, he will find out that when he gets into the ring with a real boxer, it’s a whole different ball game. He is in for a rude awakening.”
