And KSI is already in peak condition as she showed off his abs and hulking pecks after a training session.
The social media sensation gave fans a glimpse into his preparation as he fired off combinations on the heavy bag.
And he fears it might put Fournier, 40, off having dealt with Alex Wassabi and Dillon Danis pulling out against him in the past.
KSI told his Misfits promotion: “This is why we don’t like showing footage.
“Because, every time we do it terrifies our opponent and then they pull out. Happened with Alex Wassabi, happened with Dillon Danis.
“And I’m hoping it doesn’t happen with Joe Fournier because I’m a scary guy, I’m a dangerous guy and when I’m in the ring people understand the levels and they get scared.”
KSI, 29, also revealed he will turn his attention to Tommy Fury, 23, if he beats Fournier at Wembley Arena.
Jake Paul, 26, suffered defeat in February to Fury, losing a split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
And Paul elected to snub the rematch as well as a grudge match with KSI to return on August 5 against ex-UFC contender Nate Diaz, 37.
So KSI is ready to move on and instead focus on Fury, having been left unimpressed with the bout in the Middle East.
He said: “I’m very serious, I feel like I can destroy him.
“I saw what Jake Paul did to Tommy Fury and I was like, ‘Wow, Jake is trash.’ Put me in with Tommy Fury and I’ll show everyone the levels.
“And I know people are writing me off, saying I’m s***, I’m trash, I’m nowhere near Tommy Fury’s level.
“And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s see then.’ Put me in the ring with him, and let’s see and I’ll make you a f****g believer. Simple.”
Tommy Fury beat Jake Paul on points

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch is different. Some punches require more force than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It determines his position and the direction he will face. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A good combination starts with a strong punch and ends with a weak one.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Boxers learn to train their mind and bodies during sparring sessions. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
