What was the outcome of KSI vs Tommy Fury?
The conclusion of the match between Tommy Fury and KSI on Saturday in Manchester generated significant controversy. It was the main event of MF & DAZN: X Series 010 – The Prime Card, where Tommy Fury secured a majority decision win after a fiercely contested bout lasting the full six rounds. Nonetheless, KSI strongly believed he deserved the victory in the fight. This sentiment was expressed during the post-match interview when he conveyed his dissatisfaction with the decision.
KSI bolstered his argument by highlighting the numerous warnings issued to Fury for illegal head strikes, eventually resulting in a point deduction during the second round. In KSI’s view, there should have been additional deductions, which might have swayed the judges in his favor, considering the closely contested nature of the match. During the match, KSI came out aggressively, and it wasn’t until the third round that Tommy Fury began to secure any rounds for himself.
In response to the decision, KSI expressed his desire for a rematch with Fury, while Fury himself conveyed that he was finished with crossover boxing after this match. The event also featured an exciting undercard, including a surprise defeat for Salt Papi and tag team action, making it one of the most anticipated DAZN X crossover events to date.
