YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI looks to keep his perfect record intact when he returns to the ring on Saturday night, May 13, against Londoner Joe Fournier.
The 29-year-old celebrity from Watford, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, will square off against 9-0 professional boxer Joe Fournier, who won all his bouts by knockout and once shared the ring with David Haye during an exhibition bout at Wembley Arena in London.
Massive money-spinning fights against his long-time rival Jake Paul and Tommy Fury await for KSI, but he must first get by his toughest, riskiest opponent yet.

Predictions
Ryan Garcia Former WBC interim lightweight champion: “I don’t even know who Joe Fournier is.
“Obviously, KSI is not going in there to lose this fight. Why would he risk it against Joe Fournier? No shot at Joe. I don’t even know you, bro.
“I’m sorry, man. I’m just talking about boxing.”
Anthony Taylor Former Tommy Fury opponent: “Joe Fournier is going to lose. When was the last time he fought? It's been two or three years. Look at his record. I don't want to say he's been rigging his fights, that sounds criminalising and that's not what I mean. He's picked opponents that he can beat – mainly journeymen who he's probably paid approximately £3,000 for who have no chance of beating him. In that respect, he's bought his wins.
“If you pay them enough money, they'll come to fight, but they won't win. Look at his last fight, he fought a Colombian singer. KSI is no singer, we know that from his music, but he has been training non-stop, gaining experience in the ring. I think it will go the distance but it's KSI's fight for me. Activity will be the difference.”
