Joe Fournier has reacted to his knockout loss to KSI being reversed.
'The Badass Billonaire' and 'The Nightmare' faced off earlier this month in Wembley Arena. The bout was expected to be the biggest test of the YouTuber's career thus far, but it didn't look that way on fight night.
Instead, the British star scored a second-round knockout win. Fournier was rocked with an overhand right, with the YouTuber attempting to blitz. However, the businessman wound up being knocked out with what seemed to be a short right hook.

Replays quickly showed KSI landing an accidental elbow in the clinch when he attempted to land the right hook. While some argued that Fournier would've lost anyways, he didn't agree and filed an appeal with the Professional Boxing Association.

Just a few days later, the PBA reversed the result to a no-contest. As a result, KSI's win has been removed, while Fournier has had his sole loss removed from his professional record. He's very happy by that news, as evidenced by his reaction on Twitter:
"We have news, I'm still undefeated. Still, nobody can knock me out and we're back baby. The PBA have ruled it is officially a no contest, it was an illegal elbow, so I'm still undefeated. Still look brand new... So respect to that, and you know where it's out now baby, the rematch. Woo!"

KSI vs. Joe Fournier: Will there be a rematch?
Sadly for Joe Fournier, a rematch with KSI is a massive longshot.
Following the knockout victory, 'The Nightmare' remained in the ring for a faceoff with Tommy Fury. 'TNT' defeated Jake Paul in February, handing the YouTuber the first loss of his professional career.
Well, Fury had so much fun beating a YouTuber he's intending to try it again. In the ring, Fury went back and forth with him over a potential fight, before eventually getting into a dust-up. Luckily, the two were separated before things got too bad.
However, that staredown likely means 'The Badass Billonaire' will miss out on a second paycheck. Since the knockout earlier this month, the YouTuber has admitted that he planned to face Fury next regardless of the no-contest result.
As a result, fans shouldn't expect to see KSI vs Joe Fournier 2 any time soon.
