      KSI hires lawyer as he starts legal battle to appeal Tommy Fury fight result after controversial defeat

      by

      KSI has hired a lawyer to start a legal battle to appeal his controversial loss Tommy Fury. On the night, Fury was awarded a majority-decision win after two judges scored it in his favour with one card read out a draw.

      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.”

      Eddie Hearn ‘reveals’ staggering Tommy Fury earnings for YouTube fights despite Love Island star being ‘terrible’

      by

      EDDIE HEARN claimed Tommy Fury is earning millions to fight YouTube stars – despite being “terrible.” Fury, 24, beat social media sensation-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, in their Saudi Arabia grudge match in February.

      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.”

      Usyk has two points victories over Joshua and believes Wilder’s feared power is the difference between the two.
      He said on his YouTube channel: “It would’ve been a phenomenal match. Wilder’s unique line’s if Wilder clips, one’s unable to fight back.
      “I’m going with Wilder on 60 per cent for the contest. He’s a puncher, and Joshua could be set upon.
      “Deontay’s able to send someone flying when he touches one. They usually fly.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      AJ most recently knocked out Robert Helenius, 39, in August after seven rounds and looked on course to face Wilder, 37, next.
      But after talks with Saudi Arabian backers broke down, promoter Eddie Hearn warned the dream bout faces postponement.
      And Hearn revealed Joshua, 34, could instead be back in an interim bout in December after targeting March or April for a fight with Wilder.
      But AJ could also turn his attention to IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic, 31, as an alternative.

      Fury, 35, and Usyk, 36, have signed for an undisputed title decider in Saudi Arabia.
      So Hrgovic is in line to fight for the IBF “interim” belt which guarantees him a shot at the champion.
      Or he will inherit the full title if the victor of the unification was to be stripped or vacated.
      Hearn wants Joshua in a build-up fight before moving onto either Wilder or an IBF title shot.
      He revealed:”I think realistically December/January will be the date for his next fight, and then he’ll fight Deontay Wilder or he’ll fight for the IBF world heavyweight title.
      “He wants to become heavyweight champion, he wants to fight Deontay Wilder, he wants to fight Tyson Fury.
      “But he also wants to stay active, and that’s what he’s asked me to do to try and get him in the ring as soon as possible.”

      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

      Eddie Hearn reckons Fury is a “TERRIBLE” boxerCredit: STICK TO FOOTBALL PODCAST
      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.”

      And Hearn told on The Overlap how the Manchester United legend could end up in the ring with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.
      He said: “He won’t mind me saying but after every big fight, especially with a YouTuber, sometimes Rooney will fire me a message. “And I actually said to Wayne…”
      Rooney’s former United team-mate Gary Neville then chimed in: “Did you not see him against Phil Bardsley?”
      The ex-Old Trafford captain is referencing an infamous sparring session when Rooney was knocked out by Bardsley.

      Hearn joked: “That was in the living room after about eight bottles of red.”
      He continued: “Wayne Rooney had a very limited amateur pedigree but could still fight.
      “Wayne Rooney training, and I said to him, ‘Imagine the shape you could get in as well. You’ll get right back into shape.’

      Rooney, 37, is now back in England after taking over at Birmingham.
      But the ex-England striker has not played since 2021 when he finished his career with Derby.
      Paul, 26, on the other hand is three years into his professional boxing career and has a record of seven wins and one loss.
      That defeat came in February against rival Tommy Fury, 24, but the American bounced back in August by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      Now Paul is set to return again on Friday, December 15 with an opponent – who is expected to be another pro boxer – yet to be confirmed.

      Tommy Fury fresh-faced in first TV appearance after ‘six rounds of hugging and star jumps’ and reveals KSI rematch plan

      TOMMY FURY showed off a fresh-faced look in his first TV appearance just days after his win over KSI. Fury walked away with a controversial points win over the YouTube, music and crossover boxing star last Saturday in Manchester.
      Tommy Fury showed off a fresh-faced look in his first TV appearance since beating KSI
      But KSI raged at the “robbery” decision and revealed plans to APPEAL his first ever loss.
      Fury has hit back to mock KSI’s boxing style and the fact the fight was promoted on his Misfits Boxing banner.
      He said on Good Morning Britain: “At the end of the day he can come out and say what he wants but hugging and doing star jumps in the ring does not win a fight.
      “And he can go on about how he was robbed but at the end of the day it was his show, his officials, his judges so he’s saying your own people that you employ have robbed you?”
      READ MORE ON KSI
      Fury, 24, was left unmarked after the scrappy six rounds with KSI, 30.
      He was initially awarded a majority-decision win after two judges scored it 57-56 his way 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, who refused to confirm or rule out a rematch.

      He said: “I don’t know, we’re gonna see. But that was a horrible fight to be a part of.
      “He didn’t wanna fight, he didn’t want to stand there and give the fans a good fight.
      “He just wanted to make it awkward, look horrible and run around the ring for six rounds.
      “It’s very irritating for someone like me who wanted to get in there and have a proper fight.”

      KSI fumed after the result was read out and revealed plans to APPEAL his first ever defeat.
      Even DAZN CEO Joe Markowski was in agreement and doubled down on his view online.
      He posted on X, formerly Twitter: “Stand by this. @KSI was robbed. Appeal and rematch please.”
      Markowski still has much to smile about after the Misfits Boxing event reportedly sold 1.3MILLION pay-per-views, according to Happy Punch.

      But much of the paying public would have been left underwhelmed by the bout, which was filled with ugly clinching and grabbing.
      Fury, 24, was even docked a point in round two for punches to the back of the head during one of many tie ups between the two.
      So it raised eyebrows when he was awarded a majority-decision win after two judges scored it 56-57 in his favour and another 57-57 a draw.
      But it was later revealed official Rafael James had actually sided 56-57 for Fury, with his win since being changed to a unanimous-decision.
