Joe Fournier Believes Tommy Fury Beats KSI With Ease
Joe Fournier thinks Tommy Fury will beat KSI if they do end up boxing next.
Fournier and KSI fought just a few weeks ago and the fight was overturned to a No Contest after KSI KO’d Fournier with an elbow after missing the punch. It was a disappointing result, but it doesn’t change the next fight for KSI as he has been vocal that he wants Tommy Fury.
Although KSI has been oozing with confidence ahead of the matchup with Fury, Fournier doesn’t think it will go well for him.
“No, he can’t win that fight – Tommy Fury beats him all day long,’ Fournier told Daily Mail Sport. ‘Fury is a real boxer. People talk about Love Island and might take the piss out of him, but I think Jake Paul is better than KSI – and Tommy beat Jake Paul! I think Jake Paul should actually be proud of his performance even though he didn’t win. In six years, he caught up with a professional boxer from a great boxing family. Tommy’s dad, Peter Fury, knows what he’s talking about; he’s not some dummy. He’s been around boxing all his life. Fury beats KSI and does it comfortably.”
Part of the reason why Joe Fournier believes Tommy Fury will have his way with KSI is due to the fact he says KSI didn’t punch hard.
Instead, Fournier says KSI was faster than he thought but didn’t have any power behind his punches.
‘We thought he’d be very strong, but he turned out not to be that strong at all,’ Fournier explained. ‘He doesn’t punch hard. He was very fast; he’s way faster than a lot of professional boxers I’ve been in with. He actually has tremendous speed, but he has no punch power. He hit me with a bowling ball right hand with 10-ounce gloves on. I should’ve been looking up at the sky.
“You take any top 25 fighter in the light heavyweight division, they hit you like that and it’s game over. Even a middleweight, a Gennady Golovkin,” Fournier said. “We knew he’d be awkward, but in the second round I started getting my timing. I got a lot of confidence from the first round, because I realized he doesn’t have any power. The guy’s been knocking out kids and YouTubers, but I wasn’t marked up at all. There’s no power there.”
