In a sport like boxing, emotions often run as high as the steaks. Several weeks after a controversial loss against KSI, Joe Fournier is back making the headlines. Previously, KSI defeated Fournier via knockout in the second round of their bout. However, the bout was later declared a no-contest because reviews showed KSI hitting him with an elbow. With that said, why is Fournier losing his mind over the KSI and Tommy Fury?

During KSI and Tommy’s recent face-to-face, both fighters boasted about their superiority over the other. Fury claimed Jake Paul made similar claims about beating him but failed to do so in the ring. Meanwhile, KSI said he knocked out Fournier with an elbow in his previous fight in an effort to show dominance. However, the comment from KSI flamed Fournier’s anger, which resulted in him blasting KSI.

Furious backlash from Joe Fournier

While appearing in an interview with iFL TV, the enigmatic British boxer went berserk over KSI’s comment. Explaining his frustration about the situation, Fournier said, “Have some f***ing respect.” Fournier goes on to profanely explain that he did not disrespect him, yet KSI was gloating about illegally elbowing him. 

Later in the interview, Fournier challenged KSI to fight him again, “You wanna say I’m s*** well, f**king fight me, sign the contract.” However, that did not satisfy Joe’s anger, so he took a few more digs at KSI and warned him, “But till then, shut your mouth. F**king D****.” With that said, is a fight between Joe and KSI even possible? With the decision overturned, both fighters are undefeated, and a rematch would make all the sense. But only time will tell if the fight can materialize.
