KSI and Joe Fournier set to face off and all you need to know about Misfits Boxing 7

YouTuber KSI and Joe Fournier will face off tonight ahead of their Misfits Boxing Series 007 clash later this month.

The bout has been billed as the 'biggest challenge ever' in crossover boxing history due to Fournier's previous professional experience in the ring. So far, the 40-year-old from London has taken part in 10 fights, winning nine by knockout - the other ended in a no contest.

In 2021, Fournier fought friend David Haye in an exhibition fight which ended his winning run. However, he is still billed as the favourite ahead of fight night.
