KSI vs Tommy Fury LIVE: UK start time, results, undercard and stream

Tommy Fury once more overcame the challenge of a game YouTube fighter by claiming a majority decision win over KSI in a scrappy cruiserweight headliner at a packed-out AO Arena in Manchester.

Fury has concentrated on lucrative crossover contests in recent months, seeing off Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia in February and now dispatching British foe KSI to extend his record to 10-0 as a professional With brother Tyson, the WBC heavyweight champion, at ringside, Fury landed several eye-catching blows but the bout underlined the relative novice status of both combatants with multiple clinches.

Despite being docked a point for repeatedly punching to the back of KSI’s head while on the inside, Fury was given the nod 57-56 by two judges with a third scoring the contest 57-57 after six rounds. You can re-cap all the action right here...

McGregor and Danis planned "secret move"

Conor McGregor knew Dillon Danis was going to pull off a "secret move" against Logan Paul long before the MMA fighter was disqualified for attempting a takedown.

Danis took on Paul in a boxing fight in Manchester last night in the support act to Tommy Fury's controversial win over KSI. But Danis barely threw a punch over the five completed rounds before he attempted to take Paul to the canvas in the final session.

But it appears his takedown attempt was premeditated with McGregor taking to social media during the fight to say: "Watch out for the secret move, we gonna blow the socks off this arena and then I’m going sideways on the lambo at 220d." A photo also circulated of McGregor, a teammate of Danis', video calling his fellow MMA fighter.

KSI speaks out

"Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone. 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."

Wrong result!

Tommy Fury was awarded victory against KSI by all three judges - but one added up his scores wrongly.

Fury outpointed KSI over six hard-to-watch rounds on Saturday night and was announced as the winner on two of the three officials' scorecards. The other was believed to have scored the fight a draw, but when the scorecards were later released on social media, it was clear a mistake had been made.

While two of the judges scored the fight 57-56 to Fury, Rafael Ramos supposedly scored it 57-57, but a closer look at his car shows he did in fact score it the same as his fellow officials. Fury should, therefore, have been declared the winner by unanimous decision.

Jake Paul hits out at KSI

Jake Paul hit out at KSI after the YouTuber called "robbery" on his defeat by Tommy Fury.

Fury edged out KSI over six rounds in Manchester on Saturday night despite being deducted a point in the second round for punching to the back of his opponent's head. Fury also outpointed Paul earlier this year as he continues his mission to 'end' influencer boxing.

But Paul claims that while he took his defeat with good grace, KSI embarrassed himself. "Hahahaha KSI sore loser choking up," he said.

McGregor praises Danis

Conor McGregor has insisted he was impressed by Dillon Danis despite the MMA star being disqualified against Logan Paul.

Danis was making his boxing debut on Saturday night against YouTuber Paul at the Misfits Boxing Prime card in Manchester.

The multiple-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion barely threw punches for the whole fight and Paul was awarded the first five rounds before Danis attempted to take him down in the sixth, with security guards then storming the ring as the fight was prematurely ended.

McGregor praised Danis for his performance but admitted his teammate needed to let his hands go more before being disqualified. "What a spectacle, ya’s’r welcome," he said. "Are yous not entertained?

"I was impressed [by Danis], good shots. He needed to let them shots go, some of them ones he was throwing was alright."
