      Many were left disappointed by the spectacle as both fighters spent much of the contest holding and clinching.
      Former super-middleweight world champion Froch, 46, has been damning in his assessment of Misfits Boxing in the past.
      And he pulled no punches when discussing the fallout of Fury and KSI.
      Speaking on his YouTube channel, Froch on Fighting, he said: “The fight was absolutely f***ing diabolical, it was crap, probably the worst fight I’ve ever seen.

      “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.”

      Froch also had his say on Logan Paul’s disqualification win over Dillon Danis on the undercard of Fury-KSI.
      Danis, 30, attempted to take Paul down with an MMA move in the final round of their fight and was subsequently DQ’ed after security stormed the ring.
      And Froch believes the farcical scene should signal the end of crossover boxing.
      He added: “I think this needs to be the end of Misfits Boxing.
      “I hope that’s the last we ever have to see of this Misfits Boxing absolute crap.” More

      The mixed martial artist was DQ’d after using a jiu-jitsu move to take down his opponent in the final round.
      A brawl ensued soon after the bell and security had to separate the two parties.
      The Maverick was then hoisted on top of his brother Jake Paul’s shoulders as he confessed his desire to start a family with Nina.
      Paul said: “I really wanted to knock him out so badly, but I told myself I wasn’t going to go in there and fight with emotion.

      Nina was then seen laughing with joy while a member of Paul’s entourage shouted: “Do it tonight!”
      Danis’ feud with Paul became very personal after Nina filed a £122,000 lawsuit and also took out a restraining order against the MMA fighter.

      The model took the American to court over alleged social media harassment.
      Danis allegedly posted explicit videos of her online in an attempt to get inside her fiance’s head.
      The 31-year-old claimed to have “suffered humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm” as a result.

      Fury, 24, declared he was “done with this crossover s***” following the fight.
      However, he immediately back-tracked on this by calling out Logan – who had beaten Dillon Danis in the fight before – and Jake Paul.
      After his fight, he said: “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 on to the next challenge now.
      “I’m done with the bulls***. F*** the bulls***, on to the next challenge. Any of the Paul’s want it I welcome it with open arms.”

      Meanwhile, KSI claimed the result of the fight was a “robbery” and wants to rematch TNT after landing just one punch less than his opponent.
      Stepping towards career fighters, one shock option for Fury is MMA legend Conor McGregor.
      Fury told Fight Hub TV: “I would love to share the ring with Conor McGregor. And if Conor Mcgregor wants it next I will 100 per cent share the ring with him.
      “I am a fan of Conor McGregor, I like him, he’s a good man, he got me into UFC.

      “If he wants to share the ring, my hand’s there, the offer’s there, I’ll have Conor next.”
      One outside of the box alternative could see Floyd Mayweather enter the ring against Fury.
      Mayweather has not stepped into the ring since facing John Gotti III in June.
      The unbeaten 50-0 boxer could smell the chance to earn some serious money and offer to face Fury in the ring.
      Mayweather has previously fought against Misfits boxing fighters, having beaten Deji in a November 2022 exhibition match and Logan Paul in June 2021.
      Whether he would want to lace up opposite a pro fighter seems doubtful.

      But Fury edged it despite having a point taken off during the contest as he claimed a second YouTuber scalp following his win over Jake Paul.
      So where does this leave KSI’s boxing career?
      Well, in truth, the internet sensation still has a host of options when it comes to future opponents.
      Here are five fights KSI could choose to take next.

      TOMMY FURY
      It remains to be seen whether Tommy Fury will want to rematch KSICredit: Splash
      Perhaps the most obvious next step for KSI would be a rematch with Fury.
      Given the controversy surrounding the result – with the scorecards incorrectly totted up – fans would definitely be interested in seeing the two rivals run it back.
      However, Fury may feel the risk is not worth the reward as KSI proved a tougher test than many thought.
      It is not known whether there was a rematch clause in the contract for their original fight.

      KSI and Paul have had a fierce rivalry on the internet for a number of years.
      A fight between the two remains perhaps the biggest money bout for both of them.
      And it also has the added spice of Jake’s brother Logan being in business with KSI – the pair owning the energy drink Prime.
      Jake bounced back from a defeat to Fury with a win over Nate Diaz last time out.
      Could now be the time that the two online sensations finally meet in the ring?
      CONOR McGREGOR

      The longer Conor McGregor’s absence from combat sports goes on, the better chance many will give KSI to beat the former two-weight UFC world champion.
      McGregor has re-entered USADA’s drug testing pool as he eyes a return to the octagon – with Michael Chandler heavily linked as his first opponent back.
      However, with the Irishman now 35 years of age, a bout with KSI could offer him his biggest possible payday.
      Would he be tempted into a crossover clash with Britain’s biggest YouTuber? It seems he could be…
      FLOYD MAYWEATHER

      It may seem a ridiculous proposition to suggest KSI could step into the ring with one of boxing’s greatest fighters in Floyd Mayweather.
      But since his final pro contest in 2017, Mayweather, 46, has turned his hand to staging a host of exhibition contests.
      He has already faced KSI’s business partner Logan and his brother Deji.
      Could KSI be next?
      Joe Fournier

      KSI initially won by second-round stoppage, before the result was later changed to a no contest after it became clear an elbow had caused the KO.

      Paul ended up winning by disqualification after Danis sparked a brawl inside the ring, but was awarded every round by the judges anyway.

      After Paul was announced as the winner – with Danis already escorted out of the ring – the Prime promoter then called out McGregor.
      Paul said: “Hey Conor, you see that?

      McGregor had declared that he’d be attending the fight to support friend and former training partner Danis, but didn’t show up at the venue.
      Meanwhile, Tommy Fury awarded a majority decision victory over KSI.
      But the YouTuber, 30, wants a rematch after claiming Fury’s win was a “robbery”.
