The fight between Tommy Fury and KSI has become a source of a huge controversy that has left the fans divided in their opinions about the winner of the fight. While some agree that Fury was the clear winner of the match-up. There are also a lot of fans who argue otherwise and claim that KSI should’ve won the fight. KSI himself has shared his dissatisfaction with the result and called it a “robbery.” Moreover, even the former champion Chris Eubank Jr. picked his side and asked for a rematch.
Originally, ‘TNT’ was declared as the winner of the fight via majority decision. However, it turns out the judge who had scored it a draw had actually scored it 57-56 in favor of Fury in the scorecard. Thus, after the mistake came to light, it was quickly rectified and Fury was declared a winner by a unanimous decision. But what do the fans have to say about this?

KSI really doesn’t have a leg to stand on over his “robbed” allegations now.
Not even one judge gave him the win. Not even a draw. And the whole event was ran my Misfits so he had every advantage.

Meanwhile, a fan pointed out that, “All 3 judges only gave KSI 2 rounds of the fight. The judge who scored it 57 to 57, miscalculated his total score.” Moreover, he pointed out that if not for the point deduction, “he would’ve won 56-58.”
All 3 judges only gave KSI 2 rounds of the fight. The judge who scored it 57 to 57, miscalculated his total score. The original score for all three judges is in fact 56 to 57 in favor of Tommy Fury. Get rid of Fury’s 1 Point deduction, he would’ve won 56-58💯 #KSIFury #NoRobbery pic.twitter.com/wQpu516Q05
