But not before making a counteroffer to Fournier’s previous offer to buy KSI’s promotional company for $10 million. KSI took out a stack of one-dollar bills, totaling $1000, and offered to buy Fournier’s club.
He then dramatically threw the money in Fournier’s face, only for it to be scooped up by undercard fighter Anthony Taylor.
KSI also claimed that Fournier had told professional boxers Chris Eubank Jr and James DeGale that they couldn’t come to his club if they punched him in the face, a statement that Fournier denied.
The face-off between the two fighters was predictably heated, with the pair literally butting heads. Even after posing for pictures, KSI gave Fournier a forceful shove to get back at him for the first press conference.
