KSI was left dumbstruck after his opponent Tommy Fury was deducted a point before winning a majority decision at the Misfits event at Manchester’s AO Arena on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Fury, brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, remains unbeaten as a professional boxer, with 10 wins from his 10 bouts, including four knockouts.<\/p>\n

His win was marred by a controversial points decision after he landed 12 jabs and 39 punches which connected compared to KSI’s 38 as well as having a point deducted for a rabbit punch.<\/p>\n

KSI said immediately after the fight: “It’s a robbery, how many jabs did he land? I’m the YouTuber, you’re the boxer, I understand, you have to win. I want to appeal.”<\/p>\n

KSI, an influencer, professional boxer and musician, drove out in a Lamborghini before bringing out ‘Giggs’ for a performance of Talkin the Hardest.<\/p>\n

‘The Nightmare’ threw a straight right hand in the opening round which seemingly stunned Fury at a raucous AO Arena before the 24-year-old caught the back of KSI’s head, much to his disgust.<\/p>\n

Fury was deducted a point in the second round for another shot to the back of KSI’s head.<\/p>\n

The Briton, who rose to fame on YouTube before crossing into boxing, was showing more stamina with a combination of uppercuts and overhead rights.<\/p>\n

KSI was ducking and diving in the third as the bigger Fury began to lean on his opponent, beginning to find his range.<\/p>\n

The fighters began to clinch a number of times in the next, although both came close to unloading with right hands before KSI took to the inside at the start of the fifth in a tight encounter.<\/p>\n

KSI then kept Fury at arms’ length throughout the final round and believed he had pulled off the shock win as he celebrated in his corner.<\/p>\n

However, the judges scored the cruiserweight fight 57-57, and 57-56 – by two of them – to Fury.<\/p>\n

KSI won his only previous fight as a professional against Logan Paul. He has fought eight times in total, with five wins, one draw, one no-contest and now one defeat.<\/p>\n
