KSI vs Joe Fournier live stream: How to watch fight online and on TV this weekend
YouTube star ASI returns to the ring on Saturday fighting boxer and businessman Joe Fournier at Wembley Arena.
KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) has faced Logan Paul twice in the past and most recently fought gamer FaZe Temperrr, which he won by knockout in January. His rematch with Paul – a win after the first draw – is the only pro fight of his career. The rest were exhibitions.
Meanwhile, his compatriot Fournier has a 9-0 professional record and lost an exhibition match with former world champion David Haye on points in 2021. The 40-year-old started his career in the fitness industry before moving into the nightclub business.
The 29-year-old KSI meets his most credible opponent by far in another exhibition match this weekend. Here you will find everything you need to know.

KSI’s next fight isn’t scheduled yet, but he’s been talking to Jake Paul for a while in hopes of arranging a fight.
KSI fought Logan Paul, Jake’s older brother, to a tie in an amateur bout in 2018 before defeating the American in a professional rematch a year later.
Logan Paul fought boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in 2021, while Jake has been far more active – winning 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 defeat, a points loss to Tommy Fury. The YouTube star will now box former UFC fighter Nate Diaz in August.
