KSI sees Tommy Fury appeal rejected but furious manager devises three-part plan
Verdict delivered on Tommy Fury's win over KSI
KSI’s appeal to overturn his loss to Tommy Fury has been rejected by the Professional Boxing Association (PBA). However, the YouTube star’s manager Mams Taylor insists they will continue to fight their case.
Fury defeated KSI via unanimous decision in October at the Manchester Arena. Their bout was originally declared a majority decision but the result was altered after it was revealed that one scorecard had been added up incorrectly.
KSI felt he had been “robbed” and went on to appeal the result with the PBA, who oversees influencer boxing in the United Kingdom. But a statement from the sanctioning body on Friday confirmed that there were “no grounds” to overturn the result.
“The PBA confirms that an independent review panel, consisting of two of the country’s leading King’s Counsel and a third lawyer, has determined that there are no grounds to overturn the @KSI vs @tommytntfury fight result from October 14, 2023,” read a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter).
