Israel Adesanya, former UFC middleweight champion, has shown support for YouTube star KSI following the controversial boxing bout against Tommy Fury. KSI, who had an undefeated professional boxing record prior to this fight, was defeated by Fury through a unanimous decision by the judges at the AO Arena in Manchester. However, there has been much debate surrounding the judges’ decision, with several individuals like Chris Eubank Jr and Shane Fury questioning the outcome.
Adesanya shared his opinion on his YouTube channel, stating that he believed KSI had won the fight. He mentioned the point deduction that was imposed on KSI and expressed his disagreement with the judges’ ruling. Adesanya also appeared baffled by the scoring system and questioned the judges’ decision-making process.
After the fight, KSI expressed his disappointment, feeling that he was “robbed” of the victory. The original decision was initially announced as a “majority decision,” but it was later corrected to a “unanimous decision” after a judge’s scorecard was calculated incorrectly. The judge in question scored the fight as a draw, but it was revealed that he had actually scored it in favor of Fury.
KSI argued that he had landed more clean shots and criticized the scoring system. Statistics from the fight showed that Fury had thrown more punches, but both fighters connected with a similar number of shots.
Chris Eubank Jr also disagreed with the official result, praising KSI’s boxing skills and calling boxing a “strange thing.” Eddie Hearn, who was involved in organizing the event, stated that KSI should have won the fight, considering the point deduction.
Despite the controversy, KSI remains adamant that he was the true winner of the bout. Adesanya’s support adds another voice to the ongoing debate surrounding the outcome of the fight.
