Tommy Fury says KSI boxing fight was ‘a horrible watch,’ but blames opponent

Tommy Fury calls his boxing match against KSI ‘a horrible watch,’ but says the blame should go elsewhere.

[autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] knows his fight with influencer [autotag]KSI[/autotag] was not good. It was far from it.

The professional boxer and reality T.V. star thinks his fight against KSI in the main event of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card was a bad display of boxing.

The bout took place Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, England. Fury won the fight by majority decision, as two judges scored the fight 57-56, while a third saw the fight as a draw.

“We knew it was going to be an awful fight,” Fury told Fight Hub TV. “My dad predicted this a week ago. He said it was going to be a very scrappy fight, it was going to be a horrible watch, and that’s exactly what it was.

“I’m not going to beat around the bush. Was it my best performance? No, very far from it, and it was a horrible watch. I haven’t watched it back yet. At the end of the day, what do you want it to be when just one man wants to hop up and down and not engage? In traditional boxing, you stand there and you fight. You don’t up and down the ring and jump in with a little shot. So it’s a scrappy, scrappy affair. Everyone knows what we’re doing. We all know KSI is awkward anyway. He’s not a boxer. He’s a horrible man to fight.”

Fury also had a point deducted for a shot in the back of the head. Fury thinks the referee favored his opponent, as KSI didn’t get a point deduction for clinching. He believes this didn’t help promote the action.

“Listen, the ref was on his side, clearly,” Fury said. “He never took a point off him the whole fight. He was holding the whole fight and every time I was putting my hands out like that, and he was holding. He was just jumping in with one shot and then holding. I was pressing all the time, and I was pushing and doing everything on the inside. I was pressing the pace and that’s what matters. KSI can’t just jump up and down and lunge in a shot and hold. What is that?

“… It is what it is. I came out with the W on my own town Manchester like I aid I would, and I thank Jesus Christ every single day for everything he gives me.”

Darren Till stunned by ‘sh*te’ boxing on The PRIME Card: ‘Hell won tonight… That’s how bad it was’

Darren Till was stunned at how bad the boxing quality of Saturday’s The PRIME Card was.

[autotag]Darren Till[/autotag] was not impressed with what he saw on Saturday at The PRIME Card.

Till, a former UFC title challenger, was present for Misfits Boxing’s event at AO Arena in Manchester, England. It was headlined by a pair of boxing fights, [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] vs. [autotag]KSI[/autotag] and [autotag]Logan Paul[/autotag] vs. [autotag]Dillon Danis[/autotag].

With the event in the books, Till was stunned about how low the quality of the boxing displayed that night was.

“Hell won tonight because we’re living in hell right now. That’s how bad it was,” Till told Seconds Out.

In the co-main event, Danis was out-struck by Paul, before he attempted to grapple and was disqualified.

Till respects Danis for his jiu-jitsu, but was not complimentary of his boxing against Paul.

“He’s terrible,” Till said. “He’s a great jiu-jitsu fighter. … Dillon Danis is a jiu-jitsu fighter. He’s not a boxer. He’s f*cking sh*te. He’s sh*te. They’re all sh*te. What do you want me to say? I’m standing here for one of them to even look at me and say one thing. They’re all sh*te.”

Till mutually agreed with the UFC to terminate his contract earlier this year. and is now a free agent. He went to spectate at The PRIME Card, but also to see if there were any potential fights of interest.

He found none.

“I don’t have much to say,” Till said. “I came here looking for some fights and no one, only ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry wants to fight with me. He’s a proper, real fighter.

“Listen, Tommy Fury, I’ve said it to other people: God bless him. He’s a good guy and I like his family, but he’s awful and they’re all awful. I’d f*cking fight everyone in one night. I’d comatose them all, I promise you. I’m in the best gym right now in Liverpool.”

Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card results: Tommy Fury loses point, still wins majority nod vs. KSI

Even with a point deduction, Tommy Fury was declared the winner over KSI in the Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card main event in England.

Despite a point deduction, [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag] remained undefeated by picking up a close victory in his hometown against KSI.

The professional boxing bout scheduled for six three-minute rounds was the main event of [autotag]Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card[/autotag] at AO Arena in Manchester, England. The event aired live on DAZN and ESPN Plus pay-per-view. Two judges saw the fight 57-56 in Fury’s favor, while a third saw the fight as a draw, resulting in a majority decision win for Fury (10-0) over KSI (1-1).

The fight got off to a quick start as KSI bounced around light on his feet with a sideways stance. Fury, keeping a more traditional boxing stance, came forward with punches while being cautious of the quick, darting movements of KSI. After both missed with big punches causing a clinch, a short punch from Fury landed to the back of the head leading to pause in the action, and complaints from KSI.

Fury repeated the same action in the closing moment of the first round, and again in the first minute of Round 2. The referee saw enough of the illegal strike and docked Fury a point. When the fight resumed, KSI landed clean right hands before they brawled in the clinch.

The referee was busy breaking up clinches in Round 3, but both fighters found a home for a couple of clean punches. Fury got the better it though, as he connected with a few nice left hooks as KSI attempted to close the distance.

In Round 4, Fury looked to counter the fast movement from KSI with more lefts. Once again, the referee was forced to break up multiple clinches. The round concluded with Fury unleashing a combination as the bell sounded.

When KSI threw first, Fury slipped the punch, resulting in a clinch. The same occurred when Fury offered and KSI ducked. Most of Round 5 was spent in close quarters, aside from an exchange in the closing seconds.

The fight was close going into the final round. With both needing to put a stamp on the fight, the final frame saw more exchanges in space. KSI and Fury landed in exchanges, but as the fight went to the scorecards, it was unclear who would be announced the winner.

Two of the judges thought Fury did enough to earn the win.

During his post-fight interview, Fury said he had to work through an injury in the closing stages of fight camp, but did not want to make excuses for his performance. He also made it clear he has no intention to live up to his brother Tyson’s boxing legacy, but is happy to be able to provide for his family with each boxing bout.

While Fury was humble in victory, the result did not sit well with KSI.

“Robbery,” KSI said. “How many jabs did he land? … I’m the YouTuber, you’re the boxer. I understand you have to win.”

KSI, Tommy Fury, Logan Paul, and Dillon Danis were insufferable, causing John Fury to meltdown and flip tables and chairs in London.

LONDON – It was to be expected.

The first press conference promoting The PRIME Card, which featured a mix of influencers and fighters in [autotag]KSI[/autotag], [autotag]Tommy Fury[/autotag], [autotag]Logan Paul[/autotag], and [autotag]Dillon Danis[/autotag] was complete chaos.

Endless cussing and shouting over each other, personal insults, and props, including a giant birthday cake of a knocked-out Danis with a camel toe, it all ended with the inevitable – a full-blown skirmish.

After about 10 minutes, Tommy Fury’s trainer and father, John Fury, had heard enough. He stood up and went on a tirade before flipping and kicking over press conference tables off the stage. From there, all hell broke loose, with KSI and Paul on one side, and Fury and Danis on the other separated by security. Bottles of PRIME, the cake and anything that was available was hurled by both sides in attempts to attack each other.\

“We knew it was explosive. We didn’t know it would come from John Fury in the end, but that’s one way to end a press conference,” promoter Kalle Sauerland said after things calmed down and everyone was removed from the stage.

You can watch the press conference melt down in the video above.
