- Result: Tommy Fury def. KSI by MAJORITY DECISION
Follow our live blog below to keep up to date with all the action from the AO Arena…
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.
Fury on his preparation struggles
He said: “I couldn’t use my right hand for six weeks, I’m not an excuse-maker, I couldn’t use my hand for six weeks.”
Fury later added: “I fought my heart out in there, and that’s all I can do. I said there will never be another Tyson Fury and I’m just trying to be the best Tommy Fury I can be.”

Fans have slammed KSI vs Tommy Fury after the wrong result was announced due to a judge scoring his card incorrectly.
Fury was awarded a majority decision victory with scores of 56-57, 56-57 and 57-57 being announced.
But TNT actually won via unanimous decision, with judge Rafael James also scoring the contest 56-57 in his favour.
James scored four rounds to Fury and two to KSI, but miscalculated the YouTuber’s overall tally so his scorecard read 57-57, leading to the wrong result being announced.

JAKE PAUL slammed KS as a “sore loser” as he demanded an appeal to his “robbery” loss to Tommy Fury.
KSI was beaten as a boxer for the first time after six scrappy rounds at Manchester’s AO Arena.
He came out on the wrong end of a majority-decision despite Fury having a point taken for punches to the back of the head.
Still his aggression and work rate saw him scrape a win – leaving KSI in rage at the result.
He said: “We’re gonna appeal. I want to appeal. I’m sorry that is outrageous.”
In a separate rant, KSI fumed to Fury: “Robbery, it’s a robbery. You weren’t landing, look at your face.
“Look at you. I’m the YouTuber and you’re the boxer, you have to win.”
Fury, 24, came into the Battle of Britain bout having beaten KSI’s arch rival Paul, 26, over eight rounds in February.
The American was ringside to watch his old rivals do battle having cornered brother Logan, 28, to victory over Dillon Danis, 30.
And he was quick to rub salt in the wounds after watching KSI suffer the same fait as him against Fury.
Paul posted on X, formerly Twitter: “HAHAHAHA KSI SORE LOSER CHOKING UP.
“Only thing that got robbed is his hair line It’s okay KSI me too it’s gonna be okay bubba.
“I took my loss like a man from the scorecard read and showed the youth how to learn from it and come back to take a W.
“This 30 year old man crying for an appeal.”

Tommy Fury has REFUSED KSI a rematch after narrowly winning in their big grudge match on points.
Fury said after his win: “He goes his way, I go mine. I’m done with all this s***, all this crossover s***.
“I’m onto my next challenge now. I’m done with the b*******, f*** the b*******.”
Tommy Fury says he’s done with crossover boxing
Tommy Fury claims he is done with crossover boxing but called out the Paul brothers for a future fight.
The former Love Island star vowed to end crossover boxing by defeating KSI, which he did via a split decision at the Manchester Arena last night.
It is the second time Fury has defeated a YouTuber in the ring this year, having also beaten Jake Paul on points in February.
After defeating KSI the 24-year-old promised he was finished with crossover fighting, yet seconds later challenged Jake and his brother Logan Paul to a fight.
He told DAZN: “He goes his way I go mine. I’m done with all this s***. All this crossover s***. I’m not part of that I’m here to fight and we go onto the next challenge now.
“I’m done with the bulls***. F*** the bulls**** onto the next challenge. Any of the Pauls want it I welcome it with open arms.”
KSI, 30, wants a rematch after claiming Fury’s win was a “robbery”.
He believes he should have won as he told his opponent he barely landed a punch, while Fury also had a point deducted for punching KSI in the back of his head.
John Fury on KSI post-fight
John Fury said: “I did go over to KSI [after the Tommy Fury fight] and try to be reasonable with him.
“I said, ‘Fair play to you,’ I put my hand out to him and he wouldn’t even shake it.
“That’s up to him, but they need a lesson in how to be men. He spat at me, so I could’ve said I’m not going near him.
“But I know the fight game and what you do at the end of a fight is shake the man’s hand – win, lose or draw.
“But these people don’t get it today. I’m old fashioned.”

He said: “Robbery, it’s a robbery. You weren’t landing, look at your face. Look at you.
“I’m the YouTuber and you’re the boxer, you have to win.”
