KSI and Joe Fournier collided inside Wembley Arena in London, England on May 13, and the bout ended in spectacular, albeit controversial, fashion.

In the main event of Misfits X DAZN X Series 007, Fournier challenged KSI for the Misfits Boxing Cruiserweight Championship. There was some bad blood going into the fight. The pre-fight press conference saw lots of shoving between the two. During the weigh-in, KSI removed Fournier's sunglasses from his face, and Fournier shoved him in response.

KSI looked sharp early on, utilizing his movement and pressuring Fournier. In the second round, Fournier got his lights shut off, but the replay showed that KSI appeared to land an elbow that the referee completely missed.

Here's a look at the finish of KSI vs. Joe Fournier:

After the fight, Tommy Fury, who had brawled with Idris Virgo in the crowd earlier in the night, entered the ring. KSI had called him out and the two got testy in the ring. Fury called the fight "easy money" and then shoved his potential opponent.

Whether or not KSI vs. Fury is indeed next remains to be seen, but since both combatants want the fight, it may not be difficult to make the bout a reality. KSI has said he wants to fight Jake Paul in the future, and a win over Fury could very well lead him to the promised land.
