Deji claims judges protected “Fury” name
The fight between KSI, also known as ‘The Nightmare,’ and Tommy ‘TNT’ Fury was incredibly close. They landed nearly an equal number of shots during the six rounds the fight lasted. It was a contest that left viewers uncertain about the outcome.
Both corners appeared confident of securing the victory after the fight, but many spectators believed that KSI should have won. Tommy Fury had a point deducted for hitting KSI on the back of his head on multiple occasions.
Deji, KSI’s younger brother, was also present at the event and appeared visibly shocked by the choice. He expressed concern that the boxing world might not welcome a YouTube boxer defeating a professional boxer.
Deji further elaborated on his belief that the judges might have been influenced to protect the Fury name, which holds significant power in the boxing world. He argued that if KSI had won, it could have been seen as a mockery of the sport. Professional boxer Chris Eubank shared a similar perspective.

KSI vs Fury scores altered
KSI was going to appeal to the PBA about the way the fight had been scored, he and a lot of his fans were hopeful that the decision given on that night may get overturned.
There has been a recent update regarding the same, but this is not what KSI or his fans had hoped for, turns out there was a calculation error by the judge who called the fight a draw.
‼️ Tommy Fury’s win over KSI has now been CORRECTED to a unanimous decision, not a majority decision, because one of the judges’ scorecards was added up incorrectly. His card was announced as a 57-57 draw, when he actually scored it 57-56 to Fury – same as the other two judges.
