KSI is set to fight Joe Fournier at the Misfits x DAZN Series 007, and here's how you can catch the event. KSI plans to have four fights in 2023 before retiring from the sport, and this upcoming match will be his second professional bout of the year. In January, he knocked out FaZe Temperrr in the first round, a win that set the tone for his final year in boxing. KSI's second match of the year will be against Joe Fournier, marking his second fight ever against a professional boxer, having previously defeated Luis Pineda in 2022.
Rumors of a potential KSI vs Joe Fournier matchup began circulating in October 2022 when a fight poster was leaked. Fournier even challenged KSI to a fight in person after his victory over FaZe Temperrr in January. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting this highly-anticipated bout.

YouTuber KSI pushes Joe before fight night
On May 11, a live-streamed press conference was held where KSI and Joe Fournier engaged in some verbal sparring, and KSI even threw some dollar bills at Fournier to provoke him. However, things escalated during their face-off after the press conference when they came nose-to-nose. They were seen having a heated exchange before eventually bumping heads and being separated by their respective security teams.
The rivals later resumed the photo-op after the altercation had cooled down. However, KSI gave Joe Fournier a forceful shove, which caused him to stumble to the side. Fans online took notice of this altercation, and it only increased the excitement leading up to their fight on May 13.
This will be KSI's second fight of the year, with two more planned in 2023. One of these fights will be against the victor of the current Kingpyn tournament, while the other will be against either Tommy Fury or Jake Paul.
