    British former world champion retires moments after being viciously knocked out in first round of comeback

    FORMER British world champion Kal Yafai announced his boxing retirement following a brutal knockout loss. Yafai was once considered one of the country’s best fighters during his four-year reign as WBA super-flyweight champ.

    But in 2020, his 26-0 unbeaten record was snapped by ring icon Roman Gonzalez.
    Yafai bounced back with victory over Jerald Paclar and returned in Los Angeles against Jonathan Rodriguez.
    But it ended in a disaster as he was dropped and stopped in the very first round.
    Yafai, 34, hung up his gloves right after the bout but revealed his mind was made up even before the first bell sounded.

    He said: “This was the end before the fight anyway. I had ‘The Last Dance’ on my robe and engraved in my shorts.
    “I knew I was coming to the end anyway.”
    Yafai, who represented Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, leaves the sport with a 27–2 record.
    The ex-champ – whose brothers Galal and Gamal are still boxing – was wished well in his retirement and even by his old rival Charlie Edwards.

    Edwards posted: “Just woke up and seen the result. Every dog has its day in this game.
    “I actually don’t hate Kal and I have shared some great memories with him throughout the years on the GB boxing team.
    “It’s a shame we couldn’t have our big night in the sport or boxing against one another but I wish him nothing but success, health and happiness in what ever comes next in life.
    “He did have a great amateur and professional career. Enjoy family time & retirement and well done on a great career.”

    One fan said “Back to the old YT boxing days, let’s go!”
    This could be one for the ages…
    Joe Weller called out Behzinga
    Joe Weller had some choice words for Sidemen star Behzinga before the main event kicked off.
    He said he wants to bring back YouTube boxing, and wants to fight the dad of one at Wembley Arena.
    KSI is backing it too!

    Room for improvement
    It wasn’t such a great night for TikTok sensation Simple Simon, who was knocked out by comedian Dapper Laughs within the first round after two quick knockdowns.
    Dapper Laughs however, he will be looking for another opponent, he will want to move up the ranks here and onto a main card before long.
    Fight of the night
    Fight of the night has got to go to the finale, Jarvis vs BDave.
    It was a spectacular fight, which saw Jarvis knock down his opponent within the first TEN seconds of the bout.
    BDave however, did really well to come back from that and put on a good showing to see the fight out, and attack Jarvis himself.
    It wasn’t quite enough however, as Jarvis walked away with the belt before calling out Alex Wassabi and Nichlmao.

    Jarvis speaks out after his win
    “I wanted to give the best fight I could and I did that”
    “The adrenaline, I couldn’t feel it, he has probably got the hardest head I have ever hit.”
    “Nichlmao, Alex Wassabi, if you’re watching let’s get it!”
    Jarvis beats BDave by unanimous decision!
    All three judges scored the bout 54-50 in favour of Jarvis!
    BDave did really well regardless, and can be proud of that performance despite the loss.
    Who is next for Jarvis?
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 5
    Into the final round now, as we get close to crowning a champion!
    Both guys cardio is holding up nicely.
    BDave has done incredibly well to recover from that first round knock down.
    It goes the distance, surprisingly, and both fighters will be extremely proud of that performance.
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 4
    A huge right hand from BDave in round four, and Jarvis is forced to fight here!
    Jarvis has definitely managed the fight better than BDave, but the latter brings the entertainment factor without a doubt!
    Jarvis hasn’t stung BDave as much lately as the fight progresses.
    He does get a nice combination done though as the end!
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 3
    This one is shaping up really nicely, I’m not sure BDave won that last round, but he definitely earned the respect of Jarvis there.
    There is blood coming out of the nose of BDave, who is showing the heart of a warrior, and he comes in with a big shot too!
    A fairly even third round there, a tough one to call.
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 2
    What a first round, and we are into the second now.
    I don’t see this one going the distance that is for sure.
    BDave looks as though he might be making his way back into the fight, but then Jarvis opens up the hands and responds really well.
    Jarvis vs BDave – Round 1
    5x three minute rounds, the main event, HERE WE GO!
    BDave is knocked down STRAIGHT AWAY!
    Within 10 seconds!
    This is not looking good for BDave at all…
    Jarvis lands another good right hand, and another.
    Credit to BDave for staying competitive here.
    And now Jarvis…
    He comes out to Kung-Fu Fighting!
    Another tune, fair play.
    He has apparently been sparring Floyd Mayweather, so it is time to see what he has learned.
    Here comes BDave
    Sweet Caroline is his walkout song, great choice, a classic.
    He predicted a three round knockout, so let’s see what he has got in the locker.
    SWEEEET CAROLINE –
    I’ll let you finish the rest at home…
    Joe Weller calls out Behzinga
    Joe Weller is in the ring with Olivia Buzaglo, and he is calling out Behzinga!
    “Has anyone seen Behzinga?”
    “Behzinga lets make this happen, Wembley Arena!”
    The main event is NEXT
    BDave against Jarvis.
    This is the big one coming up next.
    “I’m gonna knock him out in three rounds.” Says BDave.
    Jully Poca beats Alaena Vampira by unanimous decision
    It’s a deserved victory for Jully Poca over Alaena Vampira, she dominated that fight.
    Full credit to Alaena, who would make a great opponent for Elle Brooke.
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 5
    Poca looks a little uneasy at the start of this one, and Vampira is going for it in the last round.
    Vampira needs to go for the knockout here if she stands a chance of winning it.
    Poca is on her bike with 25 seconds to go.
    And it is all over!
    It will go to the judges…
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 4
    Alaena Vampira has come out fighting in the fourth round, and is gaining some confidence here!
    Poca is just coming back with flurries when she gets within range, but that round might well be the first that Vampira has won.
    Vampira is giving everything, but it looks like Jully Poca has got the power, and the win.
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 3
    Jully is an absolute weapon when she lets her hands go, and she does so here, such power in those arms.
    Vampira is showing that she can box, despite being 2-0 down so far.
    Vampira has blood pouring out of her nose now, but she doesn’t care.
    A great combo from Poca in that round, but Vampira is NOT giving up!
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 2
    A great round for Poca in the second, and Vampira is likely going to need to come back from this.
    They are shorter two minute rounds for women.
    Alaena Vampira vs Jully Poca – Round 1
    These two are at it from the get go!
    A really fast start from Jully Poca, and Vampira may not have been expecting that!
    Here comes Jully Poca!
    Another great walkout, and we are about to get underway!
    Alaena Vampira comes out!
    What an entrance that is!
    Alaena walks out of a coffin like a true vampire, and she looks DANGEROUS.
    Hope Jully has bought her garlic…
    The co main event up next!

    The 24-year-old Nontshinga went into the showdown as a huge 1/8 favourite with bookies in what many considered to be a routine defence on Saturday.
    But the previously 12-0 South African’s plans came crashing down in the second round as he was caught straight on the chin.
    The champion instantly collapsed and fell through the ropes before lying unconscious on his back on the canvas.
    Mexican Curiel, 24, had tasted defeat four times before this but now he is on the top of the world following the massive upset.
    READ MORE BOXING
    Speaking afterwards, he said: “It’s an absolute dream for me this victory.
    “It’s super important for me and my family, it’s a victory for Mexico… I spoke to my mother and I said to her, no one’s going to beat me tonight.
    “When I started at six years old, this was my dream, and I think someone is looking down on me from up there right now.”
    Curiel has now secured his place amongst boxing’s other great upsets.

    His countryman Andy Ruiz produced a shock in 2019 when he became heavyweight world champion by downing Anthony Joshua.
    Although 42/1 outsider Buster Douglas’ famous victory over Mike Tyson in 1990 is still widely-considered the biggest upset ever in the sport.
    Curiel’s win came prior to Joe Cordina’s successful IBF super featherweight title defence against America’s Edward Vazquez in the main event.
    After a hard-fought battle, Cordina had his hand raised after getting the majority decision to stretch his record to 17-0.
    He said: “It wasn’t my best performance, but it still got the job done.
    “He didn’t hurt me at any point. I beat two champions back-to-back, come on man, you need to give me my flowers.” More

    KSI vs Tommy Fury LIVE RESULT: Latest reaction as INCORRECT scorecard error revealed after controversial Misfits fight

    KSI and Tommy Fury’s big fight ended in a controversial decision at the AO Arena in Manchester!Fury was deducted a point but picked up the majority win as fans BOOOED the decision when his name was read out instead of KSI’s.
    Fans have slammed the controversial bout after the wrong result was announced due to a judge scoring his card incorrectly.
    While Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis was stopped early after security rushed into the ring in CHAOTIC scenes.

    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.”

    KSI vs Tommy Fury scorecards revealed showing WRONG result was announced
    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 slams KSI as a ‘sore loser’
    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 speaks
    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.”
    Credit: GETTY
    KSI planning to appeal
    KSI was left fuming with the controversial result and plans to appeal the loss.
    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.”

    Jake Paul slams ‘sore loser’ KSI
    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, with Paul in attendance for his brother Logan’s fight against Dillon Danis.
    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.

    Abdu Rozik steals the show
    Boxing fans were left baffled after spotting a light being beamed on Hasbulla’s rival Abdu Rozik during Logan Paul’s clash with Dillon Danis.
    many on social media were distracted by something outside of the ropes, a few rows away from the action.
    Tajikistani singer and social media influencer Rozik, 20, was clearly visible in the distance as a spotlight was being shone on him.
    He also appeared to be holding some form of boxing belt.

    Speaking after the fight, Fury revealed he had issues in his training camp, and admitted it was a “battle”.
    KSI was raging after the fight, clearly of the opinion that he was robbed.
    Why Tommy Fury was deducted a point
    Tommy Fury was deducted a point for hitting KSI twice in the back of the head on his way to victory.
    The Love Islander was warned the first time by the referee, but not let off again.
    There weren’t exactly any complaints from Tommy, with most coming from his raging corner.
    It was a poor start from the younger brother of WBC heavyweight king Tyson, with the crowd desperately trying to raise his spirits.

    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.

    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.
    “I’ve trained to be world champion. When all these fights have been and gone, I’m still going to pursue that.”
    Froch blasts Fury vs KSI fight
    British boxing legend Carl Froch labelled Tommy Fury’s clash with KSI “f***ing diabolical” and the “worst fight I’ve ever seen” in a scathing rant
    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.”

    Fury calls out McGregor
    Tommy Fury is keen to fight Conor McGregor next although the Irishman called out KSI in a deleted tweet yesterday.
    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.”
    KSI wants a rematch with Fury after claiming he was robbed of victory.

    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. More

    KSI vs Tommy Fury – Round 6 – FINAL ROUND
    They both land some good shots in the final round, Tommy in particular gets a good right hand halfway through.
    A minute to go, will one of them go for this now?
    No they won’t! They both think they have won it!
    It will go to a decision…
    KSI vs Tommy Fury – Round 5
    Both fighters have landed 26 punches each – that is how even this fight is so far.
    This is not the type of fight we were expecting from Tommy Fury, he looks as though the pressure might be getting the better of him.
    As soon as the referee stops the clinch, they seem to go straight back into it.
    Fury gets a few good hits at the end, but that round is too close to call as we head into the FINAL ROUND.
    KSI vs Tommy Fury – Round 4
    They are clinching every two seconds at the moment, and there is so much holding going on.
    Tommy is complaining to the referee about the amount of holding going on, but he needs to start moving back.
    KSI looks like he is starting to feel a little bit of fatigue now.
    KSI vs Tommy Fury – Round 3
    Tommy Fury gets a good left hook on KSI in the third round, and he is maybe starting to turn the momentum into his favour.
    Another good hit from Fury, this time with the right hand.
    Lots of holding going on in all of these rounds – Fury needs to keep this fight at a distance.
    KSI vs Tommy Fury – Round 2
    Good right hand from Tommy Fury early in the second round.
    Tommy gets a point taken for hitting KSI in the back of the head again!Tommy looks like he is trying to tire KSI, but he has proclaimed himself that he is a “different animal”.
    A point deduction for Fury the highlight of that round…
    He could be in trouble heading into the third!
    KSI vs Tommy Fury – Round 1
    It’s an energetic start from these two, particularly KSI.
    KSI lands a BIG right hand early on in the round!
    KSI is claiming that there was a shot to the back of the head from Tommy, and it looks as though there was – no point taken however.
    It looks like the Nightmare has caught Tommy a bit by surprise in the early stages of this fight.
    He may very well have won the first round of this one…
    Here we go!
    We are about to get underway here with the first round, full action is coming to you, NEXT.
    HERE WE GO!
    LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
    God Save The King
    An absolutely stunning rendition of the national anthem is belted out, and echoed by the crowd here in Manchester.
    Here he comes, the NIGHTMARE – KSI!
    He walks, or drives, out in a Lambo, to his first ever song – Lamborghini.
    He then brings out Giggs for a live performance of Talkin the Hardest!He truly is a showman.
    From playing video games in his room, to this, it is simply incredible.
    Tommy Fury walks out
    Here comes Tommy Fury, and he walks out to Wonderwall by Oasis.
    That is one way to get a Manchester crowd onside, it is practically a 20,000 person karaoke session here in the arena.
    Will Tommy win it?
    “Maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”
    Who is gonna win it?
    You have got one final chance to have your say…
    Who is going to win it, KSI or Tommy Fury?

    Are you ready?
    Logan Paul calls out McGregor and Rey Mysterio
    Logan Paul has just called out Rey Mysterio for the US title in WWE.
    He has then gone and called out Conor McGregor in boxing too!
    Not only that, but Jake Paul has asked Tommy Fury to “sign the contract” ahead of his fight against KSI coming NEXT!
    Logan Paul wins as Dillon Danis is disqualified!
    Logan Paul takes the win against Dillon Danis, as the latter is disqualified.
    Drama after Paul vs Danis!
    Dillon Danis attempts an MMA move on Logan Paul at the end of the fight, and security immediately rush the ring.
    Dillon Danis THROWS A PUNCH AT SECURITY, before being crowded into a corner.
    Logan Paul undoubtedly the winner of that fight.
    Logan Paul got the better of Dillon DanisCredit: Splash
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Final Round
    Logan Paul is coming out going for it in this final round.
    Danis looks like he is afraid of being made into a meme.
    Logan’s security enters the ring as Dillon Danis attempts what looks like an MMA move on Paul.
    Danis will lose a point for that.
    The crowd turn it on for Logan Paul!
    IT ALL KICKS OFF AT THE END!
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Round 5
    Dillon Danis does not look as though he is going to open himself up to win this fight.
    Danis is STILL talking…
    Much of the same in the fifth round, with no heavy hits.
    Danis has landed nine punches, Logan Paul EIGHTY-TWO…
    This isn’t even the main event!
    We’ve got KSI vs Tommy Fury coming up for you NEXT!

    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Round 4
    Danis comes out and actually throws a punch at Logan Paul.
    He is likely down three rounds to zero, so if his plan was to wear Logan down and then attack him, he is going to have to start taking action now.
    The fourth round comes to an end, and it looks as though all four of them could have gone in favour of Logan Paul…
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Round 3
    You can see Dillon Danis doing the old Anderson Silva move as he rolls onto his back, an MMA move.
    Of course the crowd reacts negatively to this, and he gets a big bad reaction from the Manchester Arena.
    Undoubtedly Logan Paul is still winning this one, but no sign of a knockout as we head into the fourth round of six…
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Round 2
    It looks like it is two rounds to nil so far in favour of Logan Paul.
    Logan absolutely unloaded the tank on Dillon Danis at the end of round 2.
    Obviously dominating the fight so far as Danis has been so defensive, Paul is definitely the favourite so far.
    Very clear that Danis is going to need to come out and attack a little if he is going to get a result here.
    Everyone will be well aware that if Danis attacks though, he will be open to a hard counter from Logan Paul.
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Round 2
    Everyone can see Dillon Danis is talking non stop to Logan Paul in this fight.
    Mocking Logan as he sticks with this defensive style.
    If he is going to win this fight then Danis needs to engage at some point.
    Logan is backing off a little, but he needs to attack harder if he is going to knock Danis out like he said.
    You can assume Danis is trying to tire Logan out…
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Round 1
    Halfway through round one and Dillon Danis has yet to throw a punch at Logan Paul.
    I think he is defending well thus far, but Paul could be too much for him as this fight goes on…
    Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis – Here we go!
    Logan Paul mouths “I forgive you” to Danis in the build up.
    They refuse to touch gloves.
    HERE WE GO!
    The American national anthem is BOOED
    The American national anthem is sung before Danis and Paul take to the stage, and it is met with boos all around Manchester. More
