Tommy Fury has been awarded a unanimous-decision victory over KSI after one of the judges tallied his score wrong.
Fury was announced as the winner in Manchester last night having been awarded the fight by two of the three judges at ringside. The third scored the fight a draw but had failed to add his scores together properly, and had in fact awarded the fight to Fury by the same 57-56 score as his fellow officials.
The PBA, which oversees many of the influencer boxing fights, has now changed the judge's score with Furry now a unanimous winner rather than one by majority decision. The change will come as another blow to KSI who branded the result "a robbery" after the final bell.
The judges' scorecards from Fury vs KSIKSI was furious with the result of the fight and immediately demanded an appeal - but his protest will likely fall on deaf ears. "Robbery, it's a robbery bro," he said. "How many jabs did he land? And he had a point taken off as well. You weren't landing. Look at your face, look at your eyes. Look at you.
"He is the man who is meant to be a pro boxer and he won a majority decision? It's outrageous man. The amount of times he hit me in the back of the head. So many times. And the referee only took one point? He kept doing it over and over. I'm sorry, it's outrageous. We're going to appeal, I want to appeal. I felt like I won that."

KSI seemed to soften his stance after watching the fight back - but still insists he won. "Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone," he wrote on social media. "In the ring and watching it back I feel like I should have won. Either way I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to in the end. This little untalented nerd was able go toe to toe with a professional boxer. Use me as the living proof that hard work and self belief can get you anywhere in this life."
