KSI has claimed there is ‘no evidence” that he lost to Tommy Fury in their boxing match.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer suffered his first defeat in the ring at the hands of Love Island star Fury last October. The lacklustre fight headlined Misfits Boxing’s Prime Card in Manchester as Fury won a split decision despite being deducted a point in round two for punches to the back of KSI’s head.
KSI refuted the decision moments after his defeat and threw a tantrum by kicking a screen in his post-fight interview. Over four months on from the fight, KSI has still stood by his original comments that he shouldn’t have lost the fight. "I stay undefeated, I didn't lose! There's no evidence,” he said. “There's no evidence of Tommy Fury beating me up, show me the footage of Tommy Fury beating me up. You can't! There is none, you can't find it, I win. I beat Tommy Fury. That's right, didn't lose, I won."

Fans have since mocked KSI for still talking about the result several months on as one user wrote: “Seriously no way that this man is actually saying he won against Tommy in February near to March now.” A second user added: “That fight was so long ago why is he still yapping about it.”

KSI hinted that he could retire from boxing after his controversial defeat to Fury but has since backtracked on that claim by revealing his fight plans for later this year. “I will fight this year, but, I won’t say who,” KSI said last month whilst speaking before Misfits Boxing’s event in Leeds.
When asked by Mirror Fighting if a fight between KSI and bitter rival Jake Paul would take place this year, Mams Taylor, who promotes Misfits Boxing, said: “It’s a risky bet.” Paul returns to the ring next weekend against unknown professional boxer Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico.
