Chris Eubank Jr isn’t the only one who shares the opinion that KSI won, the majority of the boxing world believes that. KSI himself believes that he won and even quoted the decision as a “robbery.”
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who attended the event as a fan, shares the same opinion as Chris Eubank Jr. as well as KSI. Speaking after the fight, Hearn was asked whether the right man won the main-event contest to which he replied: “No, he Fury had a point deducted.”
“KSI won the fight,” Eddie Hearn added. Disappointed with the fight’s outcome, KSI immediately demanded a rematch, but Tommy Fury didn’t share the same enthusiasm.
