Conor McGregor praises KSI after controversial win over Joe Fournier WikiMedia Commons\/Boxing SocialUFC superstar Conor McGregor has given his seal of approval to KSI\u2019s boxing career despite the YouTuber\u2019s controversial win over Joe Fournier. Over the last few months, KSI has returned to boxing in a pretty big way. The British YouTube icon defeated two fighters \u2013 Swarmz and Luis Pineda \u2013 in one night and then took down FaZe Temperrr after Dillon Danis pulled out of the fight. His most recent fight, though, wasn\u2019t as clean as those previous results. On May 13, he stepped into the ring with Joe Fournier \u2013 who has some professional fights \u2013 and KSI was pretty dominant in the early goings. The YouTuber scored a knockout win in the second win with what, initially, seemed like a devastating hook. Though, on replay, it was actually his elbow that delivered the final blow, causing a bit of controversy around the result. Conor McGregor responds to KSI\u2019s win over Joe Fournier A few critics, including longtime rival Jake Paul, have hit out at KSI for celebrating the win, and have given it the classic asterisk treatment because of the elbow. However, Conor McGregor is a fan of his work so far and decided to give the YouTuber a shoutout following the win. \u201cI seen it, I liked it. He goin\u2019, fair play, KSI,\u201d the Irish fighting icon said after a fan asked if he\u2019d seen the fight. While fans were pleased with it, he didn\u2019t draw any sort of response from KSI himself. KSI has, in the past, stated that he\u2019d like to fight McGregor if the opportunity comes about, but he\u2019s currently eyeing up a fight with Tommy Fury next. A win there would go a long way in his personal battle with Jake \u2013 given that Tommy defeated Jake quite easily \u2013 but it remains to be seen if the longtime YouTube rivals will fight after all this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
