KSI sustained a massive black eye during the Joe Fournier bout sparring
In preparation for his upcoming bout against Joe Fournier, KSI has been dedicating himself to rigorous sparring sessions to hone his boxing skills. YouTuber's journey into the world of professional boxing has been far from conventional, having faced off against Logan Paul in two highly-publicized bouts. The first match ended in a draw, while 'The Nightmare' emerged victorious in the second fight with a narrow split decision.
Fournier is expected to provide a tougher test for 'JJ' compared to his previous opponents, as he holds an impressive professional record of 9-0. This makes him the most experienced boxer that KSI has faced, which makes their upcoming fight even more intriguing.
The social media celebrity revealed his injuries during a recent YouTube video:
"Mind the eye. I did it in sparring, just a clash of heads. Training camp is going well... I've just been going one hundred miles an hour, in general, this year."
