When is he fighting KSI and what has he said?

Fournier will fight YouTube star KSI at Wembley Arena on May 13, 2023.

He believes that his greater experience will prove too much for the popular content creator, comparing their bout to Tommy Fury's fight against YouTuber Jake Paul.

He said: "This is huge, it’s as big as it gets, it’s on DAZN pay-per-view at Wembley, against one of the biggest global superstars, not just in boxing. 

“But I am going to break a lot of little hearts when they see KSI unconscious on the canvas. This is way too soon to fight me, but the deal is done, and just like Jake Paul, he will find out that when he gets into the ring with a real boxer, it’s a whole different ball game. He is in for a rude awakening.”
