KSI Cheated?! #Shorts
4,320KSI cheated! That’s what Joe Fournier and others are saying after KSI knocked him out during their exhibition fight over the weekend. Right, Joe and KSI were the main event of Misfits Boxing, which took place at Wembley Arena in London and KSI won with a knockout in the second round, though that knockout is very controversial over accusations that KSI hit Joe with an illegal elbow. After the match, you had Joe levying these allegations to reporters, saying: “He cheated, clear in black and white. You’ve seen the replays, it’s gone viral all over the world. He hit me with a clean elbow. The ref was right there, watched it. Obviously the guy owns the promoter, when you’re fighting the promoter, when you’re fighting the promoter like that at his own show…“I’ve never been cheated like that in my life.” There referencing the fact that KSI is a co-founder of Misfits, which threw the event. And Joe was not the only one who called foul here, you had the likes of Jake Paul adding: “I respect boxing too much to respect what that was. If that was indeed a real boxing match it will be ruled a no contest or disqualification.” Tons of other people agreeing, saying whether it was an accident or not, that should have gotten KSI disqualified. And right after the fight, KSI seemingly denied it then later just celebrating the victory on Twitter by saying: “Outboxed and outclassed in every department.” Teasing a fight with Tommy Fury and giving shoutouts to his team, fans, and Misfits. But more backlash rolled in, more people saying he hit him with an elbow, that the win is not valid. Joe also continues to call him out online, sharing headlines critical of KSI on Instagram And you do have some people on KSI’s side here, including Conor McGregor who tweeted about the incident. Right when asked about the knockout, Conor said: “I saw it, I liked it. He goin’, fair play, KSI. But then on the other side you had Jake Paul continuing to call KSI out.
