KSI, also known as Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, took on Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury on Saturday night. The prevailing opinion among fans and experts is that the bout left much to be desired. One of those experts is a British promoter. He recently took to X (former Twitter), dissecting and describing the Saturday night event. What did he say? Hint – He didn’t like the main card!

Sam Jones, a popular boxing manager in the UK, has been keeping up with the KSI vs. Tommy fight. So, after finally witnessing the matchup on Saturday night, Jones decided to express his dissatisfaction through X. And boy, did he have some words for the event. While expressing his opinion, Jones bashed KSI for his performance against Tommy while claiming the overall event was entertaining.

Jones voiced his disappointment by describing KSI’s performance as abysmal. He then contended that Tommy Fury did not know how to counter the YouTube boxer. “KSI was terrible last night. Tommy didn’t have a clue how to deal with the star,” wrote Jones. Nevertheless, Jones argued that the fair result of the fight should have been a draw. 

Jones then diverted his attention to Dillon Danis and Logan Paul. He claimed Dillon’s performance was embarrassing, “Dillon Dannis after trolling Logan’s woman was an embarrassment.” However, Jones praised the overall event, asserting it was fun to watch. “The show overall was very good, entertainment, brilliant production, and was fun to watch,” wrote Jones. While Jones commended the event, he remained skeptical about the fight being a genuine boxing match.

Despite the controversy surrounding the decision, Tommy Fury edged the win against KSI on Saturday night. KSI’s strategy was keeping his hands low, using jabs, and clinching Tommy, something the latter failed to overcome. Despite the KSI’s effective strategy, one judge scored the fight as a draw, and the other two saw it as 57-56 for Fury.

But KSI didn’t agree with the decision; he branded it as a “robbery” and demanded a rematch. What’s more, KSI isn’t alone in thinking the decision was unfair; many voiced their opinion in favor of KSI. The naysayers argued Tommy was even deducted a point for hitting KSI on the back of the head, and neither fighter landed significant punches. These factors contributed to many questioning the decision.
