Ex-WWE Star Wins Boxing Debut By KO - Calls Out KSI!
This multiple-time champion scored an impressive victory in his boxing debut.
Not only did last night see the former John Morrison make his boxing debut, but the three-time Intercontinental Champion scored a knockout victory before then calling out KSI.
At last night's Creator Clash 2, the real-life John Hennigan - or should that be Johnny Boxing now? - defeated Epic Meal Time's Harley Morenstein. After dominating his opponent for the first two roads, the one-time IMPACT World Champion knocked Morenstein out in the third round.

Post-fight, Johnny dismissed both Jake Paul and Logan Paul as future opponents, before instead putting YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI "on blast".

For what it's worth, KSI ha yet to respond to this challenge.
Interestingly, Hennigan was accompanied to the ring by a host of familiar wrestling faces, with the star's wife Taya Valkyrie, MMA badass Josh Barnett, LA Knight, Karrion Kross, Scarlett Bordeaux, Vic Joseph, Mojo Rawley, Jake Hager and 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan amongst those partaking in Johnny's ring walk.

In terms of WWE, John Morrison was a part of the company's November 2021 round of "budget cuts". Since then, the 43-year-old has competed for the likes of AAA, MLW, GCW, Bloodsport and had a cup of coffee in AEW.
