KSI and Joe Fournier’s trash talk took a bizarre turn during their recent face-off ahead of their fight.
The pair are set to clash on May 13 at Wembley Arena in London and this will be a step up in opposition for ‘The Nightmare’ KSI, given that Fournier is a 9-0 professional boxer.
Ahead of the clash, the pair came face-to-face in a video on the DAZN Boxing YouTube channel and things got weird.
At one point, Fournier said: “They call you ‘The Nightmare’, but you’re just gonna be a wet dream, that’s all you’re gonna be bro, that’s it.”
KSI couldn’t hide a slight smile, as he replied: “You’re loving these lines.”
This took a more light-hearted tone than the last time the two men met as Fournier attempted to push KSI across the stage with security having to step in.
KSI has admitted going into this fight that he has inexperience and perhaps ability disadvantage against Fournier, but that has made him no less confident that he can get the victory.
“He’s probably the better boxer as well, but I have a lot of freakish traits that really make me stand out,” KSI said.
“For me it’s my explosiveness, it’s my power, I’m a very fast and explosive guy.
“When I hit people they stay hit and they feel it, especially in ten ounce gloves. I’m a problem.”
KSI continued: “I truly do believe in myself, I have this dog in me that really doesn’t want to lose.
“Even if I’m on the back foot and even if I’m getting pieced up, I will find something within me to keep going.
“I will go down on my shield… I don’t care about getting knocked out, I want to make sure I win no matter what.”
