16/10/2023 | by Leon Berg

In an event that has the entire boxing community buzzing with excitement and controversy, Tommy Fury has triumphed over YouTube sensation turned professional boxer, KSI, in a fight initially declared a majority draw.

The bout, which topped the Misfits Prime card on DAZN PPV October 14th, was one of the most anticipated events of the year, drawing an eclectic fanbase from both traditional boxing and internet celebrity fandoms.

The fight, a gritty six-round affair, saw both competitors displaying tremendous heart and skill, much to the delight of the fans who have been following the build-up to this clash. Fury, who moved his record to an impressive 10-0-1, was initially announced to have secured a majority draw. However, a day later, in a surprising turn of events, the result was rectified to a unanimous decision in his favor after a ‘”math error”.

KSI, who’s now standing at 5-1-1 with 1 no contest, was visibly upset by the decision. Stats from the night indicated a very close match, with some rounds too close to call. Notably, KSI demonstrated higher punch accuracy, plus a point deduction on Fury, facts that his team and fans believed should have edged the decision in his favor.

The controversy didn’t end there. Shortly after the fight, a photo of what appeared to be a messy, almost illegible scorecard began circulating online, casting further doubt over the judges’ decision. This development has incited widespread debate amongst fans and experts alike, with many arguing about the transparency and integrity of the scoring process.

In response to the uproar, KSI’s camp has announced their intention to appeal the decision. They believe that the fight was, at the very least, an even match, if not one where KSI had a slight advantage due to his precision in the ring. The appeal will likely focus on the irregularities presented by the scorecard in question and any discrepancies between judges’ scores and the actual performance of both fighters during the match.

As we wait for more information on KSI’s appeal and any official response from the boxing authorities, the debate continues to rage on social media platforms and sports forums worldwide. Regardless of the final outcome, this fight will be remembered not only for the athletes’ prowess in the ring but also for the controversies that followed the final bell. It’s a reminder that in the world of combat sports, the battles aren’t always confined to the ring.
