      And KSI is already in peak condition as she showed off his abs and hulking pecks after a training session.
      The social media sensation gave fans a glimpse into his preparation as he fired off combinations on the heavy bag.
      And he fears it might put Fournier, 40, off having dealt with Alex Wassabi and Dillon Danis pulling out against him in the past.
      KSI told his Misfits promotion: “This is why we don’t like showing footage.

      “Because, every time we do it terrifies our opponent and then they pull out. Happened with Alex Wassabi, happened with Dillon Danis.
      “And I’m hoping it doesn’t happen with Joe Fournier because I’m a scary guy, I’m a dangerous guy and when I’m in the ring people understand the levels and they get scared.”
      KSI, 29, also revealed he will turn his attention to Tommy Fury, 23, if he beats Fournier at Wembley Arena.
      Jake Paul, 26, suffered defeat in February to Fury, losing a split-decision in Saudi Arabia.

      And Paul elected to snub the rematch as well as a grudge match with KSI to return on August 5 against ex-UFC contender Nate Diaz, 37.
      So KSI is ready to move on and instead focus on Fury, having been left unimpressed with the bout in the Middle East.
      He said: “I’m very serious, I feel like I can destroy him.
      “I saw what Jake Paul did to Tommy Fury and I was like, ‘Wow, Jake is trash.’ Put me in with Tommy Fury and I’ll show everyone the levels.
      “And I know people are writing me off, saying I’m s***, I’m trash, I’m nowhere near Tommy Fury’s level.
      “And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s see then.’ Put me in the ring with him, and let’s see and I’ll make you a f****g believer. Simple.”
