Despite the claims by Fournier and others, KSI announced that he hit the former with a fair shot. In KSI’s language, it was a “massive shot” that got Fournier “dazed“.

According to Fournier, it is difficult winning when one is fighting the promoter on his own show. For the same reason, he believes the referee remained silent when KSI hit him with an illegal elbow. “He hit me with a clean elbow. The ref was right there, watched it. When you’re fighting the promoter on his own show – I’ve never been cheated like that in my life,” declared Joe Fournier.
