What happened to KSI eye?
KSI, a popular YouTuber and now a boxer and rapper, has addressed the issue of his eye injury in his latest video ahead of his upcoming boxing match. In the clip, he can be seen sporting a visibly swollen eye, which he addresses at the start of the video by saying, "mind the eye." He explains that he got the injury during sparring as a result of a clash of heads.
KSI is currently preparing for his next fight against Joe Fournier, which is scheduled for May 13, 2023, and based on the update he shared with his subscribers on April 13, he seems to be doing well in his training camp. He also discussed the controversy he caused by using a racial slur during a recent Sidemen episode, for which he has apologized and taken a break to reflect and educate himself.
KSI admitted to making mistakes in the past but stated that he has learned from them and improved himself as a human being. He said, “I did it in sparring, just a clash of heads. But yeah, training camp is going well, obviously I took a little break [from social media]".
How did KSI get a black eye?
KSI, also known as JJ Olatunji, a popular YouTube star, suffered a black eye during sparring ahead of his upcoming boxing fight with former professional boxer Joe Fournier. The fight is set to take place on May 13 at the OVO Wembley Arena, and it is considered to be the toughest challenge of KSI's boxing career to date. Despite this setback, KSI has been gaining experience in the ring and knocking out opponents such as FaZe Temperrr, Swarmz, and Luis Pineda since his return.
Videos of KSI's training sessions with his coach Alexis Demetriades have surfaced online, showing him sparring with tough opponents such as undefeated boxer Idris Virgo. In his latest YouTube video, KSI explained how he got the black eye, attributing it to a clash of heads during sparring. He added that his training camp has been going well, but he has been pushing himself too hard this year, going "one hundred miles an hour in general."
It is unclear how the injury will affect KSI's preparations for the fight, but it is unlikely that he will have to withdraw from the event since there is still a month left until the seventh Misfits Boxing card. KSI will be hoping that his black eye heals in time for the fight, as Fournier has shown in his brief boxing career that he carries power.
If KSI wins his fight against Fournier, he could potentially set up a massive clash with Tommy Fury, as the two have been naturally linked together after Jake Paul confirmed he would fight Nate Diaz in August. KSI believes that he will face a whole new pressure on his shoulders after Paul's defeat to Fury in February.

What word did KSI say?
KSI, a YouTuber turned boxer, has issued an apology for making a racial slur during a recent video with his YouTube group, The Sidemen. KSI, whose real name is Olajide William Olatunji, created a four-letter derogatory word “P*ki” for people of South Asian origin from a selection of letters in a Countdown challenge. He has since acknowledged that there is no excuse for what he said and has expressed remorse for his actions.
KSI has also announced that he will be taking a break from social media. The video has been deleted from The Sidemen's social media, and the group has been criticised for laughing after KSI said the slur. Many of KSI's fans are also not convinced by his apology and find it disingenuous. Aisha, a KSI fan, thinks it is "disgusting" that KSI and The Sidemen did not see anything wrong with the word.
She believes that KSI's younger audience does not realize how offensive the word is, which is a major concern. Hamza, another KSI fan, is surprised that the slur was not edited out of the video. He believes that the video's presence on YouTube demonstrates a normalization of a particular type of racism. This is not the first time KSI has faced criticism for his language.
In March 2021, he apologized for using "transgender slurs" in the past, tweeting: "Honestly didn't even know they were slurs. I know now though."
When is KSI vs Joe Fournier match?
The light-heavyweight boxing match consisting of six rounds is scheduled for Saturday, May 13th, and will take place at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London. The main event ring walks are set for 10:30 pm. KSI, one of the participants, expressed his excitement and stated that he will knock out a professional boxer, which Jake Paul was unable to do.
He also warned his opponent, Fournier, that once he lands a punch on his chin, he will go to sleep. On the other hand, Fournier said that the fight is significant, and he will shatter KSI's fan base by knocking him out in the ring, just like Jake Paul did. He also added that KSI will have a rude awakening once he steps into the ring with a real boxer like himself.
