      It was eventually overturned to a unanimous after it was revealed the even score was actually totted up wrong.
      KSI was left raging after the result was read out and warned that he would launch an appeal with the Professional Boxing Association.
      The PBA – who sanctioned the bout – announced Chase DeMoor, Alexia Grace and Alex Wassabi had all launched appeals.
      And KSI’s manager Mams Taylor revealed they are in the process of doing the same after hiring legal help.

      Taylor posted: “JJ has instructed a King’s Counsel who advised the PBA yesterday that he would be appealing the result of the fight.
      “For obvious reasons, we will not get into the specifics of the appeal publicly and allow the process to play out in accordance with PBA rules.”
      Fury, 24, threw more punches at 159 compared to KSI’s 124 and landed one more shot at 38.
      But he was less accurate with 25 per cent of his punches landing with KSI’s connecting with 31 per cent.

      The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star kicked up a fuss following his first defeat and planned to take action.
      He said: “We’re going to appeal. I want to appeal. I’m sorry, that is outrageous. We need to see it again. I felt like I won that.”
      KSI, 30, later broke his social media silence and put on Instagram: “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.”

      And following the tight split-decision win, he was challenged by Paul’s bitter enemy KSI, 30.
      Again Fury walked away with a razor thin victory on the scorecards – and, according to Hearn, another healthy payday in the process.
      Speaking on The Overlap, he said: “Tommy is a professional boxer, but he’s terrible. He’s absolutely swam the channel.
      “He’s gone from making £40,000/£50,000 per fight to making £4million/£5m to fight a YouTuber.”

      Fury – now 10-0 as a professional – shot to mainstream fame after meeting now fiancee Molly-Mae Hague on Love Island.
      It has seen him break into the new wave of celebrity influencers fighting which brings in millions of viewers and pounds.
      And Hearn defended the crossover clashes amid ridicule from boxing purists – having called Fury “terrible” just days after his KSI victory.
      He said: “The ones that understand the bigger picture and the marketing side of sport get it.

      “But, a lot of them are very unhappy about it. They feel like it’s very unfair.
      “They’re saying ‘I’ve worked my entire life, I’ve been boxing since I was six’. But, as far as I am concerned, I don’t care. Tough s*** really. 
      “It doesn’t work like that. This guy has built his profile, his business and his following to a point where he has earnt to right to do whatever he wants. 
      “I don’t agree with the whole, it’s not fair, it’s taking opportunities away from boxers. I like to say, put it over there.
      “It’s an entertainment format and we are keeping the sport great over here.”

      Tommy came out the winner on the night after scoring a narrow points victory, with a fuming KSI taking to Instagram after the bout to say he had been “robbed” of victory.
      In a video posted to John’s X account, the father of Tommy and Tyson said: “This is a quick video for KSI. You owe me £200,000. We had a bet. I want paying.
      “Now don’t be like the other fella Jake Paul. Be a man and pay your bets. We had a bet live on a podcast, we’ve got all the evidence there, we’ll put it all together.
      “You owe me, John Fury, £200,000. I want paying. Thank you very much.”
      READ MORE ON BOXING
      The “podcast” John was referring to was a Twitch stream hosted by controversial streamer Adin Ross.
      John appeared in the stream alongside his son Tommy as they verbally went toe to toe with KSI.
      Fury said: “I will bet you $200,000 that he beats the s**t out of you. It’s only 200,000 because I’m not as rich as you guys. I’m only a working man.”
      KSI responded: “You know what? Deal. I’ll take your deal.”

      KSI then said he would give John’s bet to charity if he won.
      As of yet, KSI has not responded to John’s demands to be paid for the bet.
      John played an extremely active role in the promotion for the fight and was frequently in altercations with the YouTuber, turned musician, turned boxer.
      He was seen trying to smash down a glass cage that separated Tommy from KSI as he attempted to scrap with Tommy’s opponent as the two faced-off.
      John also threw a bottle at KSI earlier in the promotion for the fight which prompted KSI to spit at John.
      While the fight between Tommy and KSI may be over, it seems that a feud between John and KSI is just opening up. More

      Eddie Hearn tears into ‘terrible’ Tommy Fury as Love Island star licks wounds following snoozefest with KSI

      Professional boxer Fury – the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – put himself under immense pressure to stop KSI in the weeks leading up to the bout.
      But the 24-year-old failed to deliver in what proved to be a clinch-athon of a fight, which will have done incredibly little to change Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn’s opinion of his skills.
      During an appearance on the Stick to Football podcast, Hearn said of Fury: “Yes, he’s a professional boxer, but he’s terrible.
      “He’s absolutely swam the channel.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “He’s gone from making, I don’t know, £50,000 a fight to making £4/£5m to fight a YouTuber.”
      Hearn’s broadcast partners DAZN have embraced the controversial influencer boxing world, much to the annoyance of boxing purists.
      But he insists it won’t overtake traditional boxing – despite its immense popularity among Gen Zers.
      He said: “I think it’s a threat – anything that is going to deliver numbers.
      Most read in Boxing

      “You have to remember that the people that make boxing grow as a sport are the broadcasters.
      “As long as there is investment from the broadcasters, the sport will continue to flourish.
      “Then there is something else that brings numbers, and any broadcasters that look at it, they don’t really care much or as passionately about the sport as us – they just care about the numbers.
      “I don’t think it’s dangerous because I don’t think they are dangerous enough.”
      Fury was far from impressed with his performance but said in his post-fight interview: “I fought my absolute heart out and that’s all you can do.
      “I said from day one there will never be another Tyson Fury I’m just trying to be the best Tommy Fury that I can be.”
      A frustrated KSI – real name Olijade Olatunji – fumed at the result and took aim at Fury in his interview.
      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.”

      It followed after Danis spent several months attacking Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal online which resulted in the model filing a lawsuit.
      Paul claimed in the build up that he had no regrets in picking to face the renowned internet troll.
      But after his soon-to-be wife was put through such “torment”, the YouTube, WWE and boxing star backtracked.
      Paul said on his podcast: “I lied in the build-up when I said I didn’t regret choosing him as a partner.

      “I’m eternally sorry for Nina. I’ll spend the rest of my life apologising if I have to for putting her through that kind of torment.
      “It’s inhumane what he did. She’ll hold him accountable. But this is my life, I dragged her into this social media fight bulls***.
      “She did not sign up for this. I mean she did, she did of course but she didn’t know and neither did I.
      “I don’t think anyone knew the extent to which he would take things. No fight organisation or promotion has ever seen this type of build-up, this is gnarly.

      “And no fighter, I think, has a partner who can be exploited in the way that Nina can.”
      Paul, 28, got his revenge in the ring after dominating Danis, 30, for six rounds before his rival was DQ’d for attempting an MMA-style takedown.
      And following Paul’s post-fight revelation, Danis warned the mental warfare is not yet over.
      Quoting his training partner Conor McGregor, he posted: “I’m not done yet should of killed me when you had the chance.”
