‘I f***ing hate losing man.’

A controversial result

KSI speaks
‘Robbery bro . How many jabs did you land? You got hardly any shots,’ asks KSI.
‘I’m the YouTuber, you’re the boxer. You have to win. I understand.
‘The amount of times he hit me in the back of the head. So many times. He was just grabbing me. I’m sorry. It’s outrageous. We’re going to appeal. I want to appeal. I need to see it again. I felt like I won that’.
Tommy Fury on KSI
‘Listen, he’s an awkward man. At the end of the day I got the victory. We are 10-0.’ said Tommy Fury.
‘I haven’t spoken to him. A lot went in the build-up. I’m done with this cross-over s***. Any of the Paul’s want it, I welcome it with open arms’.

TAG TEAM RESULT: DRAW
