The post-Kght stats from the six-round clash

between Tommy Fury and KSI in Manchester
have been released, and they seem to back up
claims that the latter was actually the more
impressive of the two, even in defeat.

Ad

Both promised to knock each other out in the

dramatic build up to the Kght, but neither
landed much of anything over the course of six
rounds. KSI was content on repeating the same
leaping right hand and Fury — the one who is a
professional boxer — was unable to Kgure out
how to counter the strategy.

The stats were provided by CompuBox, and

they show that although Fury was victorious, he
was not the busier of the two in a clash riddled
with more clinching than Kghting.

Punch stats from KSI vs Tommy

Fury
Over the Krst three rounds of the Kght, KSI
landed 10 more power punches than Tommy
Fury (23-13). At the end of the Kght, KSI still
held a 35-27 advantage in power punches
landed. Fury out-landed KSI in the third, fourth,
and sixth round, but was deducted a point for
hitting the back of KSI’s head in the second.
Despite the deduction, the judges awarded Fury
the decision.

It is also shown that although Fury threw more

punches in total (159-124), he was a lot less
accurate, only one more punch connected than
those of the YouTuber (39-38), so in terms of
percentage, KSI was actually more accurate,
connecting with 31% of his punches compared
to 25% for Fury.

KSI even earned good reviews from some of

boxing's elite, along with others in the Kght
scene. Chris Eubank Jr believed the wrong man
won, saying: "KSI landed more shots, pushed
the pace more, and boxed better. For KSI to go
in there and do six competitive rounds with this
guy, in a Kght a lot of people thought he won,
it's a huge thing."

Conor McGregor was also impressed with KSI,

posting (and since deleting) on his X page:' "Ya
know what. Me and KSI is an exciting Kght. A
juicy nixer I used to call them back when I was
a plumber now I’m on the lambo yacht he’s in a
huracan."

KSI had a simple plan of keeping his quick

hands low, lunging with a jab, and then
grabbing onto his opponent. It was hardly
sophisticated stuff, but Fury looked totally
unable to solve the puzzle, and could never get
his jab working convincingly, nor bring his
superior size to bear.

For all the goodwill that Fury built up by

defeating Jake Paul earlier this year, his boxing
pedigree goes back into question by being
unable to Knd the mark against KSI. It wasn’t a
robbery as KSI proclaimed it was, but the Kght
was close due to neither Kghter landing
anything of substance.

What is next for KSI & Tommy

Fury?
As for what is next for the pair, Fury has hinted
that he would like to take on Logan Paul having
already defeated his brother Jake earlier this
year. His father John, however, declared that
his son will 'take on whoever has the most
followers.'

KSI, meanwhile, earlier this week revealed three

names he would like to step into the ring with in
the future. He said: “I know after this Kght (vs
Fury), I’m probably going to feel a little bit lost
and think, ‘I'm going to need something to
excite me again.' And just going to Kgure it out,
whether that’s a Kght with Conor McGregor,
Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul, whatever, we’ll
see."
