KSI v Tommy Fury LIVE: Boxing results as Logan Paul v Dillon Danis and main event end with shock results
Follow live updates from the highly-anticipated boxing matches in Manchester
KSI and Tommy Fury squared off in the boxing ring in a poorly executed contest defined by clinching and wild swinging. Fury, so composed in his win over Jake Paul earlier this year, seemed to want to match the unorthodox style of KSI but found himself confused as to how to tackle the fight.
A points deduction in the second round further put Fury on the back foot only for him to find a bit of momentum in the third round. The fight seemed even throughout with KSI’s corner adamant that he was in front on the cards. When the decision was announced in Fury’s favour, KSI was shocked and labelled the decision a ‘robbery; in his post-match interview causing Fury to brand him a ‘bad loser.
Moments before their encounter Logan Paul and Dillon Danis’ co-main event developed into a brawl that forced security to intervene.
Danis, who twice tried to choke out and wrestle Paul to the ground, was issued a disqualification after six rounds in which Paul dominated from start to finish. Months of bad blood between the two men came to a head as Paul remained composed and collected utilising a mix of jabs and heavy hooks to unsettle the former MMA fighter whose main goal was to avoid a knockout.
The scenes at the end of the fight led to Paul branding Danis a ‘coward’ and a joke of a fighter before he left the stage with the British crowd chanting his name.
