‘What a joke’: Tommy Fury vs KSI result changed after scorecard blunder

The result of the boxing fight between Tommy Fury and YouTuber KSI has been overturned after a scoring blunder was spotted.

The scorecard on the right had it 57-57 instead of 57-56.

Fans have branded the KSI vs Tommy Fury fight a “bit fishy” after the wrong result was announced due to a judge adding up his own card incorrectly.

Fury was awarded a majority decision victory with scores of 56-57, 56-57 and 57-57 being announced.

But Fury should have actually won via unanimous decision, with judge Rafael James wrongly totting up his score as 57-57, even though he had marked the contest 56-57 in Fury’s favour.

The result has now been changed so the record shows Fury won via unanimous decision, not majority decision.

‼️ Tommy Fury’s win over KSI has now been CORRECTED to a unanimous decision, not a majority decision, because one of the judges’ scorecards was added up incorrectly. His card was announced as a 57-57 draw, when he actually scored it 57-56 to Fury - same as the other two judges.

James scored four rounds to Fury and two to KSI, but miscalculated the YouTuber’s overall tally so his scorecard read 57-57, leading to the wrong result being announced.

However some fans were still not convinced and felt Fury did not do enough to win four rounds, which he required due to a point deduction in the second round for punching KSI in the back of the head.

One fan said: “I can’t see how the second round was scored to Tommy, nor can I get behind that third judge’s mathematics. Fishy situation this like.”

Another added: “Very suspect scorecards.”

A third wrote: “Again, proof in the putting that he was robbed.”

And another commented: “How can you give a 10-8 round to Tommy it’s getting overturned.”

KSI, 30, has called for a rematch and intends to appeal the result, claiming he was “robbed” as Fury barely landed a punch.

But Fury appears to have no intention of facing the YouTuber again after promising he is done with crossover boxing, but he called out Jake and Logan Paul for a fight.

Logan defeated Dillon Danis after the latter was disqualified for attempting an MMA-style takedown.

The fight descended into chaos after the final bell as security had to enter the ring to stop Danis lunging for Logan, with the MMA star aiming a punch at a security guard.

Meanwhile Jake, who was in his brother’s corner, labelled rival KSI a sore loser following his defeat.

He said: “HAHAHAHA KSI SORE LOSER CHOKING UP.

“Only thing that got robbed is his hair line It’s okay KSI me too it’s gonna be okay bubba.

“I took my loss like a man from the scorecard read and showed the youth how to learn from it and come back to take a W.

“This 30 year old man crying for an appeal.”
