However, the referee didn’t term it as a knockdown as he felt that the punch landed on his back-head. Moving further, in round 4, it was Logan Paul who put KSI on the canvas after landing a bunch of punches. The referee counted this as a knockdown but cut a whopping 2 points as he felt Paul blatantly attacked KSI’s back head.
