After using an elbow to knock out Joe Fournier, Olajide Olatunji wants to fight Tommy Fury next.
English YouTuber, rapper, singer, and boxer of Nigerian descent Olajide Olayinka Williams "JJ" Olatunji known professionally as KSI returned to the boxing ring early on Sunday, May 14, 2023.
At the London OVO Arena Wembley, KSI defeated Joe Fournier via knockout.
The 29-year-old former YouTuber turned professional boxer earned his second victory of 2023 after defeating FaZe Temper in January.
Given that Fournier represented his hardest challenge yet, KSI was fired up from the first bell and adopted an aggressive position, backing up his opponent for most of the opening round and connecting with many blows.
With a little more confidence, Fournier entered the ring to begin the second round.
He kept the battle in the center of the ring and questioned KSI.
That all changed, though, as KSI stunned the 40-year-old with a powerful overhand right before delivering the knockout punch a split second later.
Replays seemed to suggest that KSI elbowed Fournier in the final shot, but the winner was not having it after the fight.

Speaking immediately after the fight he said, "I hit him with a massive shot, and he was dazed.
"He was scrambling, trying to hold on to me for dear life. I was like, 'brother, nah, nah, nah. It's D-Day. Your soul is mine."
On the undercard, KSI's brother Deji Olatunji recorded an impressive win against British rapper, singer, and boxer Brandon Scott known professionally as Swarmz.
KSI vs Tommy Fury
After defeating Fournier, KSI faced off in the ring against British professional boxer and reality television personality Tommy Fury.
Tommy Fury defeated Jake Paul earlier this year and a fight against KSI will dominate the trends on social media.
