Tommy Fury was given a majority-decision victory over KSI after two judges gave him a win and one judge gave him a draw on his boxing match. After it was found out that the even score had really been calculated incorrectly, it was subsequently reversed to a unanimous decision.
After hearing the verdict, KSI became furious and threatened to file an appeal with the Professional Boxing Association. Chase DeMoor, Alexia Grace, and Alex Wassabi all announced their appeals, according to the PBA, which authorised the contest.
After obtaining legal counsel, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor disclosed that they are currently doing the same.

KSI’s manager at Misfits Boxing, Mams Taylor, said on Friday that the lawyer for KSI had informed the PBA (the body that approved the fight) that their formal appeal would be submitted soon.
Last weekend’s hotly contested fight sparked a lot of discussion and controversy.
Fury won the boxing match by a unanimous decision, receiving identical scores from all three judges (57-56).
On the night, it was initially declared as a majority decision; however, it was later changed to a unanimous decision after it was discovered that one judge’s scorecard had been totalled up wrongly.
In the immediate aftermath, KSI declared that he would appeal the judgement.
A legal appeal over the outcome of KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury last weekend has been lodged. “JJ has hired a King’s Counsel, who yesterday informed the PBA that he would be contesting the outcome of the fight. For obvious reasons, we won’t discuss the contents of the appeal publicly and instead will let the PBA procedures be followed, according to Misfits Boxing owner Mams Taylor’s social media posts.
Since losing to Fury, the YouTuber has been public about his displeasure with the fight. A disappointing majority decision resulted from their contest, which frequently involved more grappling than punches. “It was a robbery. … How many jabs did you land? … Look at your face. Look at your eyes.”
The 30-year-old made the comment in reference to Fury’s frequent use of illegal rabbit punches to the back of the neck. In the second round, Fury was penalised one point for a bunny punch. He did not, however, experience any additional consequences for his actions.
