Fury, a professional boxer, vented his frustration on Good Morning Britain with the events inside the ring and revealed if a rematch between the two was still on the cards. According to Fury, KSI’s discontent is unwarranted.
Tommy Fury went on the British Morning Show to talk about what transpired between the two on fight night. It seems like there could be a rematch on the horizon, as Fury has refused to rule out a rematch. When asked about the rematch, Fury confessed, “I don’t know, I don’t know, we’re gonna see. Because that was a horrible fight to be a part of. He didn’t wanna fight, he didn’t want to stand there and give the fans a good fight.”
Fury’s response to the controversy has been a mix of exasperation and anger. “He just wanted to make it awkward, look horrible, and run around the ring for six rounds. It’s very irritating for someone like me who wanted to get in there and have a proper fight. So I am not too sure,” stated Fury. His statement refusing to rule out a rematch against KSI echoes his commitment to a fair fight, one that truly tests the mettle of both opponents.
Despite the ongoing debate surrounding his victory, Fury’s eagerness to face KSI again demonstrates his desire to definitively settle the score. In the coming days, boxing enthusiasts worldwide will be anxiously awaiting the unfolding negotiations for a much-anticipated rematch.
