Although controversies are nothing new in the boxing world, a recent claim has shocked the sport and raised questions about the veracity of one fighter’s undefeated record. A fellow fighter has entered the spotlight as the highly anticipated bout between KSI and Joe Fournier approaches, making an unexpected assertion that has fans and experts alike doubting the fairness of the sport.

A single tweet started a contentious discussion around Fournier, who is well-known for being rich outside of the ring. However, it is unclear whether these accusations are true or if it’s just another instance of pre-fight talk intended to stir people up and generate buzz.

Joe Fournier’s undefeated record is under scrutiny

The storm of controversy began when professional boxer Anthony Taylor took to Twitter to question the credibility of Joe Fournier’s fight record, implying that Fournier’s billionaire status might have played a role in his undefeated streak. Taylor’s tweet read, “Since Joe is a ‘Billionaire,’ I’m convinced he bought his wins🤣😭😭 to fight @ksi.”

The tweet quickly caught the attention of the boxing news outlet IFNBoxing, who tweeted, “‼️@anthony_foreal is convinced Joe Fournier RIGGS his fights 😱🤯 Do you think this is a serious conversation to have? 🤷‍♂️🤔 #IFNBoxing #MisfitsBoxing” The controversy adds intrigue to KSI’s already scheduled bout with Fournier next weekend.
