    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.

    But TNT should have actually won via unanimous decision, with judge Rafael James wrongly totting up his score as 57-57 – even though he had marked the contest 56-57 in Fury’s favour.

    However some fans were still not convinced and felt Fury did not do enough to win four rounds, which he required due to a point deduction in the second round for punching KSI in the back of the head.
    One fan said: “I can’t see how the second round was scored to Tommy, nor can I get behind that third judge’s mathematics. Fishy situation this like.”
