JOE FOURNIER has officially lodged an appeal following his controversial knockout loss to KSI.
The nightclub-turned boxer faced YouTube sensation KSI on Saturday night at Wembley Arena.
Joe Fournier was controversially knocked out by KSI
And it ended in chaos when Fournier was left out for the count in round two and unable to continue.
But replays revealed KSI landed an accidental but illegal elbow which looked to have caused the KO.
Despite the post-fight footage revealing the brutal blow, the win still stood causing Fournier to threaten action against organisers.
And now the Professional Boxing Association – who sanctioned the bout – confirmed to SunSport that Fournier has appealed the loss.
A statement read: “We have invited representations from each contestant and their representatives before the matter is reviewed in line with our rules and procedures.
“We are also seeking legal counsel as to the issues involved to ensure all matters are dealt with properly and fairly while seeking to uphold the integrity of boxing.
“Any decision or otherwise on the matter will be made available to the contestants on or before 4pm GMT Friday 19th May 2023.
“No further comment will be made until after that time.”
