KSI shares different angle of his 'cheating' KO hours before being stripped of win

KSI has shared a different angle of his fight against Joe Fournier after recently being stripped of his win.

The YouTuber ended up winning the fight on 13 May after knocking out his competitor in the second round, but one move from him had caused controversy among boxing fans.

Some viewers even went so far as to accuse him of 'cheating' in the fight and call for him to be disqualified.

The match lasted for two rounds.

The moment involved a blow, which appeared to have been made with his elbow.

His competitor also reckoned that KSI should have been disqualified, saying he 'felt' his elbow 'go past my face'.

The win was then stripped as a result of an investigation from the Professional Boxing Association (PBA).

Now after deliberation the PBA has reached a conclusion on the fight.

After reviewing it, they found that the controversial blow had not been intentional.

A press release from the Professional Boxing Association said: "Even though KSI was winning the fight, the blow with the forearm/elbow has been found to be accidental and the obvious disappointment that will follow, it has been decided that the contest is declared a No Decision in accordance with the Rules.

"The PBA has conducted the review properly, fairly and with legal assistance throughout as the bout was sanctioned and regulated under the unified rules of boxing."

KSI has since been stripped of the win.

Despite losing his victory, KSI has taken a different spin on the news.

He tweeted: "Still undefeated. Feels good man".

A very 'glass half full' outlook.

However, the YouTuber also shared a video to Instagram, showing a 'different angle' of the fight from outside the ring.

The video seemingly shows his glove coming into contact with Fournier's jaw before his elbow.

When the accusations first came to light, KSI issued a statement which read: "I worked very hard for this fight and had an intense and gruelling camp.

"There’s no better feeling than being in that ring and having my hand raised in front of my loyal and amazing fans who I appreciate so much.

"Unfortunately the victory which was inevitable no matter what, is tarnished and I hate that. It sucks!

"After landing my overhand he was pretty much out on his feet and I went for a short right hook as Joe clinched me and fell into me. I landed that hook and my glove made contact but appears to have been followed by unintentional contact with my forearm."
