KSI vs Joe Fournier: Ring walk time, how to watch, PPV price, live stream, undercard
KSI returns to the ring this weekend to take on pro boxer Joe Fournier in his toughest test yet: everything you need to know ahead of the fight
YouTuber fighter KSI faces his toughest test in the ring this weekend when he takes on unreliable professional boxer Joe Fournier.
The Brit, who made a name for himself on YouTube before turning to music and more recently teamed up with former adversary Logan Paul to launch their highly successful Prime company, last beat FaZe Temperrr in January.
Before then, KSI, 29, quit both Luis Pineda and rapper Swarmz in one night, having taken a three-year hiatus following his hotly contested win over Paul.
Fournier is 40 years old and has only fought professionally once since his eighth appearance in 2016, but he has shared the ring with heavyweight David Haye and is undoubtedly the more experienced of the two.
KSI is looking for fights against both Jake Paul and Tommy Fury – and with this weekend’s all-important match fast approaching, Mail Sport writes takes you through everything you need to know.

What was said?
KSI, speaking exclusively to Mail Sport ahead of the fight, insisted that Fournier will not hear the final bell.
“Round four,” he said, predicting when the stoppage will come. He’s not going to make it easy. Defensively, I think he will be quite aware.

“But in the end I break him down, and in the fourth round I get the knockout. The final blow can be whatever I want: right hook, left hook, straight on. I can come in overhand, even change it and go left-handed, whatever I want.
Fournier, meanwhile, believes that KSI is not sure he will take the win. “I think the fact that they have a rematch clause shows how insecure they are on this,” he said.
“I would never want to be punched in the face by me. He’s someone who carries the Misfits brand on his shoulders and I think it’s way too much for him to fight someone like him.
“I’m one who knocks people out for a living and KSI will be shaken awake tonight.”
