Result change
Incredibly, the Tommy Fury and KSI result has been changed.
That’s according to Michael Benson, talkSPORT’s online boxing editor.
“Tommy Fury’s win over KSI has now been CORRECTED to a unanimous decision, not a majority decision, because one of the judges’ scorecards was added up incorrectly,” Benson wrote on X.
“His card was announced as a 57-57 draw, when he actually scored it 57-56 to Fury – same as the other two judges.”
Don’t bank on a rematch
After disposing of KSI, Fury was asked if he would grant his foe a rematch.
Fury said in the ring: “We’ll see what’s next. If KSI wants another go, he’s going to have to sweeten up his attitude, because at the end of the day, it’s my turn – I’m the head of this table now.
“Crossover boxing belongs to me: I beat Jake Paul, I beat KSI, the two front runners. I’m the head of this table now.”

“These YouTube fights are not my highest point in life. I’m here to do a lot more than that.
“Tyson first fought for a world title at 27, I’m still years off that. So I don’t know who is going to be around and whoever does have the belt, I want to challenge for it. 100 per cent. I’ve not trained all my life [to stop now].
“Don’t forget I was a boxer before this YouTube stuff came about. I’ve not trained all my life to get in the ring with a YouTuber and get a good payday.

“It’s cringey to watch. Like, ‘What are these two guys doing?’ It’s appalling.
“Everyone agrees how s*** it was. And then they’ve got the audacity at the end to have an argument.
“You’ve just had six rounds to hit each other and you stood and held each other – now you wanna have a f***ing argument?
“I don’t think anybody should’ve won, it should’ve been a draw.”

Specsavers join KSI debate
Even Specsavers have joined the discussion over if KSI was “robbed” of victory against Tommy Fury.
The glasses manufactures tweeted this cheeky response:
Sidemen smash screen
Sidemen member Harry, aka Wroetoshaw, smashed his screen when finding out KSI did not beat Tommy Fury.
He tweeted: “Can’t believe this s*** man fuming.”
John Fury admits harsh decision
Tommy’s dad John has revealed that the result could have gone either way.
He said: “If either got the decision there would have been no qualms from me.”
One punch difference
Tommy Fury landed just one more shot than KSI in his points win over the YouTuber.
TNT was announced as winning via majority decision but one judge tallied up his scorecard incorrectly – so all three judges actually gave the win to Fury.
DAZN punch stats show Fury threw 159 punches but landed just 39, yet he won four out of six rounds according to each judge.
KSI was far more efficient than his opponent and connected 38 times from 124 punches thrown – a strike rate of 31 per cent.
However most of his damage came early in the fight and Fury was able to edge his way back into the contest.
And the punches he landed were more evenly spread out across the fight as two judges had him winning three of the last four rounds, with one judge giving him all four.
Logan rages at decision
Logan Paul has weighed in on the decision to hand Tommy Fury victory.
He believes his Prime business partner KSI did enough to win.
The American, who beat Dillon Danis earlier in the night, said: “Horses***. I think JJ won.”
KSI’s emotional tweet
KSI has reflected on last night with an emotional tweet this morning.
It read: “Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone. In the ring and watching it back I feel like I should have won.
“Either way I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to in the end.
“This little untalented nerd was able go toe-to-toe with a professional boxer.
“Use me as the living proof that hard work and self belief can get you anywhere in this life.”
Eubank backs KSI win
Chris Eubank Jr also believes that KSI beat Tommy Fury.
He said: “I thought KSI won, he landed more.
“It happens, you don’t get the decision. It makes you stronger. But everyone sees the fight differently.
“Some judges look at it as which boxer is moving forward, which is an amateur way of looking at it, but people see things differently.
“He had a solid game plan and it messed up Fury.”
Hearn makes KSI claim
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn agrees with KSI that he has been “robbed” of victory.
The Matchroom chief was asked if Tommy Fury’s win was the correct decision.
He responded: “No, he had a point deducted, KSI won the fight.”
McGregor calls out KSI
Conor McGregor has hinted that he would be willing to fight KSI despite his loss to Tommy Fury.
The UFC legend said in a now deleted Tweet: “Ya know what. Me and KSI is an exciting fight.
“A juicy nixer I used to call them back when I was a plumber now I’m on the lambo yacht he’s in a huracan.”
A “nixer” is slang for a side job.
Fur real?
Fans are convinced Tyson Fury was concerned that his brother Tommy had not done enough to beat KSI.
The boxer controversially edged the YouTuber on points after a laboured performance.
As the results were read out at the end of the sixth round, the cameras panned to a nervous-looking Gypsy King.
The WBC heavyweight champion was spotted with pursed lips as he looked on ringside.
Relief was then shown as Fury jubilantly burst into wild celebration when his younger sibling’s victory was confirmed.
