“It’s stupid and I believe most people are on my side,” stated KSI as he found out that the incident has reached the epitome of online popularity. JJ was stating that the cause of his elbow connecting to Fournier’s face was actually an accident. Apparently, when JJ punched him, Fournier, who already has taken a blow from the YouTuber, feinted against him.

Thus, instead of moving back, KSI’s foe came towards him and this is what eventually resulted in that controversial move. Additionally, KSI is quite happy that the ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor has tweeted in support of what he did. JJ even joked about how Jake Paul might be infuriated with McGregor’s statements.
