Tommy Fury’s win against KSI amended to unanimous decision

By Our Reporter On Oct 17, 2023 0

Tommy Fury’s win against KSI has been corrected to a unanimous decision after one of the judges’ scorecards was tallied incorrectly.

It was announced that the judge in question scored the fight as a 57-57 draw, when in fact he scored it 57-56 for Fury.

The other two judges also scored the six-round fight 57-56 against Fury, as the Love Island star scored a controversial victory in Manchester.

Earlier on Sunday it was revealed that there had been an error with the scorecards, although many felt KSI had gotten the better of Fury on the night.

After claiming he was “robbed” on the night, the YouTube sensation posted on X: “Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone. In the ring and looking back, I feel like I should have won

“Anyway, I feel like I achieved what I wanted in the end. This little, untalented nerd could take on a professional boxer. Use me as living proof that hard work and self-confidence can get you anywhere in this life.”

Chris Eubank Jr was also stunned by the decision, with the professional fighter claiming the YouTuber ‘boxed better’ than Fury, while Eddie Hearn called the decision ‘horse s***’.

Fury’s brother, Shane Fury, even admitted he was “very lucky” to get the decision that night.

The 24-year-old claimed he was done with crossover fighting after Saturday’s bout, but left the door open for a potential clash with Jake or Logan Paul.

Fury defeated Jake Paul on points earlier this year and now appears open to a rematch, with his boxing record now standing at 10-0.

Paul was involved in a controversy of his own at the Misfits event on Saturday night.

While Paul gained the upper hand over Dillon Danis during the fight, the MMA star attempted to knock down his opponent in the final round, leading to a massive brawl.

Paul was awarded the win via disqualification after guards had to enter the ring to separate the fighters.
