The long-term rivals entered the ring on Saturday night for their highly anticipated clash, after a war of words that lasted months.
Tommy Fury has defeated KSI on a majority decision after the pair faced off in a six-round cruiserweight match in Manchester. The professional boxer was given the nod 57-56 by two judges with a third scoring the contest 57-57. 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.
In the third round, he was ducking and diving as the bigger Fury began to lean on his opponent, beginning to find his range. 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 round in a tight encounter. 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.
