Anthony Taylor makes bold KSI vs. Joe Fournier prediction and calls out the winner

Anthony Taylor makes bold KSI vs. Joe Fournier prediction and calls out the winnerDAZN

Anthony Taylor has made his prediction for the main event of MF & DAZN: X Series 007 between KSI and Joe Fournier on Saturday night. 

Taylor features on the undercard when he takes on the dangerous Salt Papi and is hoping a win over the unlikely knockout artist can put him in a position to face the likes of KSI. 

Speaking to OLBG about KSI vs. Fournier, Taylor claimed that Fournier's past experience against low level opposition will work against him in his fight at the OVO Arena Wembley. 

"Joe Fournier is going to lose. When was the last time he fought? It's been two or three years. Look at his record," Taylor began.

"I don't want to say he's been rigging his fights, that sounds criminalising and that's not what I mean. He's picked opponents that he can beat - mainly journeymen who he's probably paid approximately £3,000 for who have no chance of beating him. In that respect, he's bought his wins.

"If you pay them enough money, they'll come to fight, but they won't win. Look at his last fight, he fought a Colombian singer. 

"KSI is no singer, we know that from his music, but he has been training non-stop, gaining experience in the ring. I think it will go the distance but it's KSI's fight for me. Activity will be the difference." 

But while Taylor is hopeful that he can secure a fight with KSI, he is not too optimistic that it will be next as a result of the 29-year-old's star power.

"Me versus KSI only makes sense when it makes sense for him. We are a pawn in his game. He pulls the strings. The same with Salt Papi. KSI is not ducking Salt, it's just not the right time."
