KSI claims his majority decision loss to Tommy Fury was a “robbery” and says he will appeal the result of the fight in the coming days. The British YouTube star caused Fury real problems and felt he deserved to win the nip-and-tuck affair.
In a furious rant after the fight, KSI shouted: “It’s a robbery, how many jabs did he land? I’m the YouTuber, you’re the boxer, I understand, you have to win. I want to appeal.”
Fury responded: “You can land two shots every round but I was the one pushing the pace, I was the one throwing the shots.” According to the punch stats, Fury landed 39 punches compared to KSI’s 38 punches over six rounds.
It was an ugly contest with a lot of clinching and holding from the ex-Love Island star. There was a feeling that the decision could go either way after the final bell had sounded and a point deduction for Fury in the second round was a big talking point when it came to tallying up the scores.
But the judges gave it to Fury with scorecards of 57-56,57-56 and 57-57. Fury downplayed a rematch and claimed he was “done” with crossover boxing. Meanwhile, KSI insisted that they had to run it back after such a close contest.
When asked about whether he wants a rematch, KSI replied: “Yes. It was a robbery, bro. [I won] rounds one to three, and one point off. How did I lose a six-rounder? Unreal. He’s the man that’s meant to be the pro boxer, and he won a majority decision. It’s outrageous.”
Earlier on, Fury said of his victory: “I fought my heart out in here, I fought my absolute heart out. That’s all I can do. I said from day one – there’s never going to be another Tyson Fury, I’m just trying to be the best Tommy Fury I can be.
“He [KSI] is an awkward man, I’ll give him that. At the end of the day, I got the victory – I’m 10-0. I’m done with all this crossover s**t – I’m done with that.” Fury was expected to face Jake Paul in a rematch at the start of next year but that is now up in the air.
Fans have come out in their hordes on social media and are demanding a second fight with KSI be booked but whether Fury will entertain it is yet to be seen.
