Tommy Fury narrowly defeated Olajide Olatunji, widely known as KSI, to maintain his unbeaten run in the sport.
Tommy, Tyson Fury’s little brother was deducted a point and struggled for a larger part of his fight with the YouTuber-turned-boxer who was left fuming after falling to a majority decision defeat.
Tommy celebrates his second successive win over an influencer, after beating Jake Paul, another YouTuber-turned-boxer in February.
However, KSI has refused to agree with the judge’s scorecards and he interrupted Fury’s post-fight party to let him know he felt robbed.
The two rivals had some arguments inside the ring before KSI claimed he would be appealing the first defeat of his boxing career.
“It’s outrageous,” he told news men during his post-fight interview. “We are going to appeal. I wanna appeal, bro. I’m sorry, that is outrageous. We need to see it again. I felt like I won that.”
Meanwhile, the fight itself didn’t feature many standout moments, and both fighters had their share of shielding and throwing punches.
KSI started strongly, landing a had punch that would have won him a round with few other notable shots, Fury on the other hand, lost a point in round two for repeated head shots.
While Tommy Fury has ruled out an immediate rematch, he remains open to facing either Jake or Logan Paul in his next bout.
