Landing a well placed upper cut in Round 4, Logan was able to send KSI to the canvas, however he continued to hit his opponent while he was down, landing one punch to the back of KSI’s head. Referee Jack Reiss was forced to take off 2 points from Yankee for this technical foul which would later cost him the match.
