As a fairly seasoned opponent, Fournier was anticipated to be KSI’s biggest challenge of his fledgling boxing career. Instead, the elbow missed, and the 29-year-old won by knockout for the fourth time in a row.
However, because it happened so quickly and the referee did not appear to notice, Fournier was declared out and KSI was first given the victory.
The result is now ruled out and will no longer appear on either man’s record as a victory or a defeat, according to the PBA’s official verdict on Friday.
“Today, on May 19, 2023, Mr. Joe Fournier and KSI were told of a ‘Reviewed Decision’ that was undertaken by Mr. Gareth Morris, the referee in charge of the match on Saturday, May 13, 2023 at the OVO Arena, Wembley, London, United Kingdom, according to their statement.
