      The pair, 29 and 40 respectively, took part in a fiery pre-fight press conference in the Big Smoke on Wednesday afternoon – which was followed up by a tasty face-off.
      And a bust-up could’ve ensued after Fournier double-handed shoved KSI – real name – Olajide Olatunji – in the chest.
      KSI refrained from reacting to the push, remaining calm and opting instead to continue to stare down the British businessman.
      Prior to landing the first physical blow of their rivalry, a fired-up Fournier roared: “At the end of the day I am coming to take the guy’s whole legacy.

      “I’m here to be the new face of Misfits. I want to have a scrap with the guy.
      “The guy made his career playing FIFA. He beats me at FIFA but this isn’t FIFA.
      “This is us standing there 18lb, 10oz gloves and he talks about explosive and power but it is all relative.
      “David Haye didn’t knock me out so I would like to trade with him and I want it to be a fight that goes down in history.

      “I want him to be the best he can be I don’t want me to walk all over him in 40 seconds, like I think is going to happen.”
      KSI responded with his own jibes, but it was his apology for using a racial slur in a recently-aired YouTube video which dominated the presser.
      He said: “I would like to take this opportunity to offer my deepest and sincere apologies for my words and actions.
      “In a recent video, I used a racial term that is offensive to so, so many – especially in the South Asian community.
      “There were no excuses for what I said and I recognise I’ve caused a lot of hurt and disappointment to so many people – so many people who look up to me.
      “And my ignorance has only reinforced the negative stereotypes that have existed for way too long in this country.” More

      The British rapper, real name Olajide William Olatunji, made the slur during a video with his YouTube group, where they were playing a Countdown challenge.
      From his selection of letters, KSI caused outrage by creating a four-letter derogatory word for people of South Asian origin.
      The video has been taken down and he issued an apology for an offence he may have caused.
      However, fans have criticised the 29-year-old despite his apology, claiming he should have known better.

      And this isn’t the first time the popular YouTuber has found himself in hot water, having courted headlines for a number of wrong reasons over the years.
      ‘Rape jokes’
      KSI was accused of trivialising rape by making what was referred to as “rape faces” in a series of his online videos.
      The clips show the star in a variety of settings, turning to camera with a menacing expression and making sexually suggestive gestures.
      Many said pulling his “rape face”, which would regularly appear in his videos, trivialised sexual assault.
      Most read in Boxing
      He apologised for his past content in 2020 after a backlash from women’s charities and social media users.
      Sexist behaviour
      KSI sparked controversy in 2012 when he asked women at Eurogamer Expo what STIs they have.
      He asked one woman what was her “favourite STI”, to which she reluctantly replied “chlamydia”.
      KSI then asked her: “Is that because you have it?”
      Another part of the clip saw him quiz a woman at the gaming conference about the size of her breasts, stating: “I can’t see them?”
      That video has seen been removed from YouTube, with KSI later expressing his regret over the incident. 
      He said: “I’m in shock. I can’t believe I was like that. People enjoyed that video?!
      “I can see now why I got into a lot of trouble. I was such a virgin back then.
      “I think if I do anything remotely close to this again, I will change my whole outfit so I can show people that I’m a different character.”
      He was banned for life from Eurogamer Expo events.
      Microsoft axing
      In 2013, Microsoft severed all ties with KSI after the company was criticised for employing him to promote the launch of Xbox One.
      KSI had performed a song with three other artists but Microsoft faced backlash from fans.
      Widespread anger and concern over his involvement saw Microsoft vow not to work with him again at any point.
      Offensive remarks
      In another YouTube video, uploaded in August 2014, KSI asks a Page 3 model about her sex life, while repeatedly calling her a sl*t in the voiceover.
      He has also since apologised for his behaviour with a spokesman saying he had made a “mistake as a teenager”.
      While in 2021, KSI issued an apology after being accused of being transphobic something he strongly denied.
      Suicide controversy
      In 2018, KSI released a new diss track music video with a Logan Paul look-alike ahead of their boxing fight.
      The video was made in reference to Logan’s scandalous Suicide Forest footage which landed his fellow YouTuber in very hot water.

      Despite how controversial that video was for his Prime drink partner – who was then a rival – KSI decided to make light of the situation.
      KSI’s representatives have been contacted for comment. More

      Just a month beforehand, Paul, 26, had announced his deal with the PFL, which will see him in both a promotional and fighter role. 
      He looks set to rematch Fury, 23, in the ring this year, but PFL CEO Peter Murray insisted it will not slow down his MMA debut. 
      Murray told SunSport: “Jake’s an incredible competitor and it was a great fight. 
      “But as it relates to MMA, Jake is training in the PFL SmartCage, he’s got his own setup and we’re excited about his focus on MMA.

      “More to come on those details and his debut in MMA but full board, we’re really excited for his debut.” 
      The PFL is MMA’s only seasonal format, consisting of qualifying and knockout stages. 
      Points are earned per method of victory in the opening two bouts with the top four in each division progressing into the semi-finals. 
      From there, it is victory-or-go-home culminating in a winner-take-all finale fight where a title belt and $1m cash prize lays in wait.

      The American has already began training for his MMA switch with talks for an opponent also ongoing for his PFL debut which is set for 2024.
      Murray said: “From a planning standpoint of course, we’re having a number of conversations regarding, first and foremost, timing and opponent. 
      “The opponent being the number one topic of conversation but we build around that.”

      Paul’s brother Jake was recently on the receiving end of a defeat by Tommy Fury, but Logan now wants to get revenge by taking on boxing champ Tyson.
      However, rather than in a boxing ring, Paul wants to face Fury in the Octagon.
      Speaking to BT Sport, he said: “You know what I would do because I saw Tyson talking s***?
      “I would fight Tyson in a MMA fight.

      “I really would, I don’t really care how big he is if you have not wrestled or done any ground work I don’t care how big you are, you better land the first two punches that you throw and they better knock me out.
      “Otherwise I’m taking you to the ground, I’m taking your back and I’m choking you out.”
      Fury himself has teased switching into the MMA.
      The 34-year-old trained with Darren Till during the build-up to his rematch with Deontay Wilder, while he also told Francis Ngannou he would box him in 4oz MMA gloves inside of a cage.

      Paul’s one and only pro boxing fight resulted in defeat to KSI – now his business partner for their PRIME drink – who made a special appearance at Wrestlemania.
      The Brit was wearing a PRIME outfit, and attempted to help Paul complete a Frogsplash on Rollins, before he was dragged onto the table for Paul to smash into instead.
      Paul also competed in an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather, which Money convincingly won.
      However, this did not stop Paul from declaring he would “knock out” Fury after his brother defeated Tommy, though Jake beating the ex-Love Island star never came to pass.
      The Gypsy King has not been a silent party against Paul either.
      Speaking weeks after Tommy beat Jake, he said: “Logan Paul, you little b****.
      “It seems that my little brother beat your little brother and now you’re both a pair of losers. All the Paul family suck.”
      It comes after talks for Fury’s heavyweight unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk fell through, despite Usyk agreeing to a 70-30 split.
      However, Anthony Joshua now seems to have Fury in his sights once again following his unanimous points win over Jermaine Franklin.
      AJ, 33, said: “Save all that s***. If we’ll f***ing fight, let’s go.
      “Shut the f*** up and that’s just how I feel because I got to save my energy for the fight.

      CONOR McGREGOR ramped up his feud by Carl Froch after saying he would “slaughter” him and George Groves in the cage. The pair have rowed in the past but Froch took it one step further when he claimed he had the beating of the ex-UFC champion in the cage.

      He said on his YouTube channel: “I’d fight Conor McGregor in the cage.
      “I could be getting myself in trouble here or into a position I can’t wiggle out of, but I think I’d take him on in the cage. He’s too small.”
      McGregor hit back with a laughing face and tweeted promoter Eddie Hearn: “Get this signed up lad.”
      The Irishman then menacingly followed it up days later by adding: “I’ll slaughter Froch and Grove at the same time in the cage.”

      McGregor, 34, has boxed professionally just once before, losing to American legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, in 2017.

      And the former featherweight and lightweight UFC champ fired back last year in a furious rant about Froch.

      “Little wally of a thing I’ll slap you around you little toffee nose toss pot.”
      Froch – who retired from boxing in 2014 after knocking out Groves – insisted it would be a mismatch if the two were to fight in the ring.
      He told Boxing UK: “He’s not a boxer, he doesn’t want to fight me, he’d get absolutely f***** up, but he might do the same to me in the cage and that is why we are both champion in our own right.
      “He knows, if he wants a roll around, he knows where to come, but he ain’t going to want this smoke.”
