KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) appears to be still grappling with the aftermath of his recent loss to Tommy Fury.

Fury clinched a close win over the YouTuber-turned-boxer through a majority decision in the main event of Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card in Manchester last weekend.

Following an unexpectedly competitive bout, the fight's outcome was marked by a judge scoring it as a draw with a 57-57 score, whereas the remaining two judges favored Fury with a 57-56 score. 'The Nightmare' did not take kindly to this decision and, after the fight, voiced his discontent by deeming it a "robbery." He immediately announced that he would appeal the ruling.

Following confirmation from KSI's manager, Mams Taylor, it was revealed that their legal counsel had informed the PBA (the commission responsible for sanctioning the fight) of their intention to submit a formal appeal. Recent reports from combat sports journalist Michael Benson indicate that the 30-year-old Briti has formally lodged his appeal regarding the loss to Tommy Fury.

KSI's actions triggered a diverse range of responses from fans.

One fan wrote:

"What a fu*king baby lmao"

Another wrote:

"Does it even matter? That moment was taken away in the ring"
