KSI addresses loss to Tommy Fury

KSI's last boxing outing resulted in a defeat against Tommy Fury, Tyson Fury's younger half-brother.

Over a month and half after his defeat, he addressed it in detail for the first time on his YouTube channel. KSI explained his devastation in the aftermath of the fight:

"Quite frankly, I just didn't feel like making a video. Especially after the result of the Tommy Fury fight. I had trained so hard for these past few months. Working overtime to do what most people thought was impossible - that was to beat Tommy Fury. I felt like I had won the fight, so to have the judges completely take that moment away, yeah it sucked... I was angry, disappointed and eventually broke down and started crying. It wasn't fair. Life isn't fair."

He also blasted Fury for failing to knock him out despite having more experience:

"I look back at the fight, try to find any highlights, any showing of Tommy Fury beating me in that fight and there were hardly any and it's crazy that so many people felt like I won the fight...The fact that Tommy Fury was unable to knock out a YouTube that has been boxing for about three years is actually hilarious. Tommy has essentially been all his life and he struggled to even jab me. You needed the judges to save you. That's pretty embarrassing, bro."
