Who is Joe Fournier? Background, record, championships, biggest wins of KSI's next opponent
Joe Fournier is set for another high-profile boxing fight when he faces KSI live on DAZN and DAZN PPV on May 13.
The former light heavyweight champion took up boxing professionally in 2015 and boasts an unbeaten record over 10 fights, but he is perhaps best known for his investments in nightclubs, running a chain of gyms, and his friendship with former world heavyweight champion, David Haye.
Fournier initially retired from boxing due to a scaphoid injury but returned to the ring in 2021 to fight Haye after his April 2021 clash with Colombian singer Reykon.
DAZN takes a look at the career of Fournier ahead of his third exhibition clash.
What is Joe Fournier's professional record?
John Ryder boasts a 9-0-1 record in the professional ranks with all of those wins coming by way of knockout.
He also has an exhibition fight to his name from September 2021 when he fought his friend, former world heavyweight champion David Haye, losing by decision.
Championships
Joe Fournier fought Wilmer Mejia in the Dominican Republic on 8 December 2017, winning by knockout in the eighth round.
After the win he was awarded the vacant WBA international light heavyweight belt.
Biggest Wins
Fournier overcomes Meija in 8-round contest; December 8, 2017
Fournier's unbeaten record did not translate into a shot at a full world championship, and with his business interests elsewhere, he perhaps understandably does not have a host of big fights on his track record.
For that reason, the win against Meija six years ago which was followed by a WBA belt is probably his biggest win.
