YouTuber turned-boxer KSI and British billionaire and professional boxer Joe Fournier will be going off at each other today. As the fight date nears, both fighters seem to be pumped up and ready to prove their mettle in the ring. The rivalry between the two started back in January after KSI defeated Faze Temperrr. KSI at the time revealed that the next target in his mind was Fournier and ‘The Billionaire Badass’ had a similar thought as well. Not only that, but the two of them nearly came to blows after Fournier shoved KSI during last month’s press conference.
The tension was almost palpable as the duo faced off for the final time a day before the fight. The duo exchanged a lot of insults as it seemed like they could go off on one other at a moment’s notice. Both stood their ground as they came up with clever insults for one another. Notably, Fournier made fun of KSI for not being able to grow a beard. KSI appeared very confident as he claimed that after him, he will defeat Tommy Fury. His plan then is to hand a defeat to Jake Paul. KSI even removed Fournier’s glasses in the midst of the heated exchange.
The video from the face-off was uploaded by boxing reporter Micheal Benson on Twitter. Fans were quick to respond to the video. They went wild in the comments as shared their responses to the video. Fans have previously trolled KSI- Fournier undercards as they went off on each other online.
