Social media sensation Logan Paul was seemingly shocked with KSI’s knockout of Joe Fournier.
KSI returned to the squared circle last night at the Wembley Arena in London against 9-0 pro-boxer Joe Fournier. In what was supposed to be his toughest test till date, ‘JJ’ managed to make light work of the 40-year-old.
The Brit started off strong and controlled the distance from the first bell. However, there wasn’t much action in the first round of the fight. In the second round, ‘JJ’ caught Joe Fournier with a massive overhand right which seemed to have wobbled him following which the 40-year-old got knocked out after catching an unintentional elbow to his face.
Despite KSI winning the bout in a controversial fashion, his business partner Logan Paul was seemingly impressed with the Brit’s performance. ‘The Maverick’ took to Twitter to share the real-time reaction of him and his girlfriend, Nina Agdal to the knockout.
In the video, Logan Paul can be heard saying:
“Oh he’s dead, he killed him! Oh my god! Oh he killed him!”
