Who will KSI fight next after last night’s controversial knockout?
YouTube star KSI beat Joe Fournier with a controversial knockout on Saturday, finishing the former professional boxer with an accidental elbow. KSI, 29, landed the bigger punches throughout the first round of the exhibition bout at London’s Wembley Arena, and he tagged Fournier, 40, with a huge overhand right in Round 2. That was followed by an attempted right hook, with KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) instead making contact with his elbow. The strike sent Fournier tumbling to the canvas and left him staring up at the ceiling, unable to beat the referee’s count. In a post-fight interview, KSI denied that he had stopped his fellow Briton with his elbow, before calling Tommy Fury into the ring for a face-off, which ended with the pair being separated. KSI’s controversial win was his fourth straight KO victory in as many exhibition bouts. The YouTube star, who rose to fame as a gamer but also raps, previously fought Logan Paul twice, drawing with his fellow YouTuber in an amateur bout and beating him on points in a professional rematch. Meanwhile, Fury – half-brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury – is best known for his time as a contestant on Love Island, but he is also unbeaten as a pro boxer. The 24-year-old outpointed Logan Paul’s brother Jake in February. No fight between KSI and Fury has been scheduled, and for some time KSI has been exchanging words with Jake Paul in hopes of arranging a bout. Jake Paul has gone 6-1 as a pro after stopping KSI’s brother Deji in his amateur debut in 2018. Last time out, in February, 26-year-old Paul suffered his first loss, a points defeat by Fury. The YouTube star is now set to box ex-UFC fighter Nate Diaz in August. Click here to subscribe to The Independent’s Sport YouTube channel for all the latest sports videos.

Couple told to cancel their wedding after admitting they 'track' each other's location
A popular TikTok couple has shared their "controversial" hot takes about their relationship, including the man taking charge of finances and tracking each other's location. The viral clip that's racked up 1.4 million views has left fellow TikTokers praying it's satire. Rachel Fiona and her fiancé Ryley Wilson (@drachel) kickstarted their video by saying they track each other's location. Why? Well, according to Ryley, "Well, 'cause I'm possessive, and she's a baddie. Can't have any other guys hitting that." The pair then move on to hot take number two: Money. Ryley makes all of the "major financial decisions." They then shared how they don't have friends of the opposite gender. "Again, she's a baddie," Ryley said, once again reiterating that he's "possessive." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Rachel then said any household chores including cleaning and laundry are her responsibilities. Meanwhile, taking out the rubbish and "fixing things" are his jobs. It didn't take long for people to flood the comments, with some urging the pair to "not go through with the wedding". "Oh here are the red flags," one person wrote, while another added: "The fact he’s repeatedly admitting he’s possessive and controlling. Girl I’m so sorry for your future trauma and you're dating down." @drachelfiona hot take #controversial #gendernorms #relationship #couplestiktok @ryleykwilson The pair later followed up with a second clip in response to people calling their decisions "red flags". "Every relationship is so different & this is just what works for us," the couple wrote as the caption. "We really do, do all of these things," Rachel told viewers, adding that the reasons were, in fact, satire. They said how they share locations for "safety reasons," and so Ryley can "surprise her when she's on the way home." Rachel and Ryley said they openly discuss finances, but he ultimately gets the "final say." @drachelfiona Replying to @itslikeimwastingurhonor again every relationship is so different & this is just what works for us?✨☺️ #couplestiktok When it comes to friends of the opposite sex, they said they just "don't go out of the way" to make new ones. Lastly, Rachel said she doesn't do the chores just because "she's a woman," with Ryley saying she likes to do things a certain way which is "fine with me." Still, people weren't overly sold.
