    KSI vs Tommy Fury PPV buys ‘revealed’ with blockbuster bout raking in over £25MILLION

    And it was Fury who ultimately walked away with a controversial points win, handing KSI a first ever loss.
    The action itself proved to be few and far between leaving the paying public underwhelmed.
    But still the DAZN PPV event sold a stunning 1.3MILLION box office buys, according to Happy Punch.
    Priced at £19.99 in the UK, it means just over £25MILLION was made in PPV receipts alone.

    Promoters predicted it would actually surpass the British record PPV – believed to be 1.8m when Anthony Joshua beat Joseph Parker in 2018.
    Joshua’s last two losses – both to Oleksandr Usyk – reportedly sold 1.2m PPVs each.
    KSI, 30, is understood to have walked away with around £10m for the fight, with Fury, 24, making under half that.
    But he plans to APPEAL the loss having believed he did enough to win the scrappy six-rounder.

    Fury was docked a point in round two for punches to the back of the head but was handed a majority-decision on the night.
    But it was later overturned to a unanimous result after it was revealed one judge totted up his total of 57-57 wrong and instead scored in 56-57.
    After defeat, KSI raged: “That is a robbery. How many jabs did you land?
    “Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win? 
    “He is the man who is one who is supposed to be the pro boxer. He hit me on the back of the head over and over. It is outrageous. 
    “I want to appeal. I need to see it again. I felt like I won that.”

    And it was Fury who controversially walked away with a majority-decision win, which was later overturned to a unanimous.
    It raised eyebrows after the 2019 Love Islander was docked a point in round two for punches to the back of the head.
    The scrappy six-rounder was filled with ugly clinching and grabbing – a tactic actually encouraged by KSI’s head trainer Alexis Demetriades.
    Cameras captured the moment Demetriades told KSI, 30, to get up close with Fury, 24, and force his opponent into another penalty.

    He said: “You’re up on all the rounds and he’s got a point off.
    “Stay in the clinch with him and make him, he’s gonna hit you in the back of the head again and it will be another point off.”
    The clip was shared by KSI’s rival Jake Paul and garnered a negative response from fans.
    One said: “So KSI intentionally wanted to get hit at the back of the head.”

    Another added: “His coaches really lost him that fight.”
    After the dull affair, two judges scored the fight 57-56 in favour Fury while another totted up his total to 57-57 even. 
    But upon the release of the official scorecards, it was revealed official Rafael James had actually sided 56-57.
    The result has since been changed to a unanimous-decision win for Fury, which will only anger KSI after he revealed plans to APPEAL the loss.
    He raged: “That is a robbery. How many jabs did you land?
    “Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win? 
    “He is the man who is one who is supposed to be the pro boxer. He hit me on the back of the head over and over. It is outrageous.

    Ahead of last Saturday’s fights, Paul said: “I’m looking at some pro boxers.

    “Because I want to take this more traditional boxing route of moving up into the rankings, fighting professionals and taking the route to become world champion like a prospect of my calibre. 
    “So we’re looking at some pro boxers and they’re not going to be big names by any means.”
    Asked if that comes with risk, Paul said: “I want to be world champion, though. And there’s risk, for sure. 
    “But, for me I want to challenge myself, continue to grow in this sport and get to the top of it, from a skill level, 100 per cent that’s my goal.”

    The fight is set to not be a Pay-Per-View bout, with Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) teaming up with DAZN to announce the date.
    It will be his ninth professional bout, having won seven and lost one so far.
    That loss to Fury was the only time Paul had come up against a boxing professional, having previously taken on a host of fellow social media stars and MMA fighters.
    The 26-year-old told MVP: “Eight fights in the boxing game and I’m already its biggest name.
    “I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started.
    “My mission is to be a world champion and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”
    After the fight, Fury claimed he was “done” with crossover events, before immediately calling out the Paul brothers.
    He said: “I’m done with the bulls***. F*** the bulls****, on to the next challenge. Any of the Pauls want it I welcome it with open arms.” More

    It emerged afterwards that there was an error with the judges scores that read 57-56, 57-56 and 57-57 after the six-rounder.
    The one official that adjudged it to be a draw, Rafael James, failed to add up his scores correctly but now that has been rectified.
    That means that all three scores read 57-56 in Fury’s favour and it means that the Love Island star is the winner by UNANIMOUS decision.
    That leaves the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, 35, with an undefeated 10-0 record in the ring.

    But even the Gypsy King, who is preparing for his crossover fight with Francis Ngannou on October 28, appeared to be relieved when scorecards were announced.
    However, another of the Fury siblings, the believed to be 30-year-old Shane, delivered a brutal verdict on his loved one’s performance after Saturday’s showdown.
    After cheering him on from ringside, Shane was asked to assess Tommy’s display by Fight Hub TV.
    And he said: “He looks vulnerable now. He’s beatable now by all of them really, isn’t he?

    “They’ve only got to develop a little bit and he’s beatable. It was a bad performance by Tommy but he got the win.”
    That win came on the back of Fury’s victory over Jake Paul back in February and he said after getting his arm raised: “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.”
    Tommy’s father John seemed less worried about the decision, saying post-fight: “We did what we had to do. KSI didn’t wanna fight, he wanted to hold all night, he was smothering Tommy’s work.”
    KSI, 30, has called for a rematch and intends to appeal the result, claiming he was “robbed”.
    But Fury, who is dating fellow Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague and who welcomed baby Bambi Fury into the world, says he is done with crossover boxing.
    The star, who celebrated by gorging on pizza, 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 on to the next challenge now.” More

    But now that has been rectified so all three scores read 57-56 in Fury’s favour and it means that the Love Island star is the winner by UNANIMOUS decision.

    That comes on the back of Fury’s victory over Jake Paul back in February – where he weighed 184.5lb (13st 1lb) the night before his split-decision win in Saudi Arabia.
    This time he went into his latest bout at the slimmer weight of 182.6lbs – despite gaining THREE STONE after binging on £300 worth of cheesecake plus pizzas and burgers following that triumph eight months ago.
    Fury, who is dating fellow Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague and who welcomed baby Bambi Fury into the world this year, would reveal in the summer that his weight ballooned to over 16 STONE.
    He explained that after restricting himself to a diet during his training camp, he makes up for lost time after the bout.

    Fury said: “My logic — and it’s terrible – is that between fights I try to cram as much c**p as I can into my body so that when I have to get back in shape I’m sick of junk food.”
    And he certainly did that this weekend as he shared a photo of what appeared to be two chicken, mushroom and sweetcorn pizzas on Instagram before tucking into them.
    He captioned the snap with: “Been dreaming of you.”
    KSI, 30, has called for a rematch and intends to appeal the result, claiming he was “robbed” but Fury, who is now 10-0, appears to have no intention of facing the YouTuber again after promising he is done with crossover boxing.
    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 on to the next challenge now.”
