Joe Fournier teases KSI rematch after \u201celbow knockout\u201d overturned DAZN \/ Joe FournierProfessional boxer Joe Fournier has responded after KSI\u2019s \u201caccidental elbow\u201d knockout which has been overturned by The PBA after review. On May 13, KSI and Joe Fournier finally stepped in the ring \u2014 going blow for blow in front of a sold-out crowd at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London. Fournier was expected to be KSI\u2019s most challenging opponent thus far, yet the YouTube star still managed to pull off a shocking second-round KO victory over the professional boxer. Although, upon review, it appeared KSI actually struck his opponent with an accidental elbow \u2014 leading to outrage from boxing fanatics. However, after just under a week since the bout, on May 19, The Professional Boxing Association (PBA) released a statement announcing KSI\u2019s KO victory over Joe Fournier has been overturned and declared a No Decision. Joe Fournier reacts after KSI \u201celbow knockout\u201d ruled no contest In an Instagram post following the statement, Fournier reacted to the news overturning the decision on the \u201caccidental elbow\u201d that put the fight to a jaw-dropping stop. \u201cWell, we have some news, I\u2019m still undefeated, still no one can knock me out, and we\u2019re back baby,\u201d he said. \u201cThe PBA has ruled it is officially a no contest \u2014 it was an illegal elbow and I\u2019m still undefeated, and still look brand-new.\u201d Fournier continued, thanking \u201cbig name\u201d celebrities, athletes, and fans who\u2019ve reached out in masses to support the self-proclaimed \u2018boxing billionaire\u2019. He added: \u201cBut, the PBA did make up for it, so did DAZN, Misfits and Wasserman to make sure there was a fair shout to the athletes that sacrificed a lot to be on these cards. \u201cNow you know if there\u2019s anything dodgy they rectify it, so respect to that and you know where it\u2019s at now baby, the rematch.\u201d Following the controversial knockout, KSI quickly shut down allegations that he intentionally cheated, explaining his rendition of events in the ring, claiming his glove made contact before the elbow. It\u2019s unclear whether or not we\u2019ll see the pair of them touch gloves again, as it seems KSI has other targets in his sights such as Tommy Fury, and long-time rival Jake Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
