“Sparring Partners Smashing Him Around the Ring”: KSI’s Recent Eye Injury Causes a Stir Among Fans

British YouTuber KSI has made a name for himself in the sport of boxing with his skills. And he is regarded as one of the first influencers who dived into boxing. With his fight against Joe Weller in 2018, he paved the way to the ring for other social media stars. But, in his recent YouTube video, one prominent thing was his eye among all his jokes and laughter. The YouTuber seemed to have hurt his eye, and it was conspicuous. And fans did not hold back after seeing the injured eye of the 29-year-old.

KSI will step into the ring again on the night of May 13 against Joe Fournier, a 40-year-old businessman, and a professional boxer. And this eye injury comes ahead of KSI’s upcoming fight.

JJ uploaded a YouTube video, and even though his eye injury was not the main subject of the video, it took the internet by storm and caused a stir among the fans. The YouTuber claimed he got injured during sparring training for his fight against Fournier. He said, “Mind the eye, I did it in sparring, just clashing heads.”  He further claimed that his training camp is going well.

It is safe to say that the eye injury doesn’t look that bad, but we don’t see JJ getting injured too often. And this might be something new for the fans. Further in the video, KSI gave a reason why he took a break from everything for a while. He said that he couldn’t take many things in and that he needed a break to get back to his best.

KSI last fought Faze Temperrr, knocking the gamer in the first round of the fight. But, one of the most anticipated fights in the influencer boxing crossover scene is a clash between the Briton and the Ohio-raised internet sensation Jake Paul. And it seems like the two will meet in the ring to settle their differences soon.
