Punch stats show Tommy Fury only landed one more punch than KSI in controversial victory

Tommy Fury might have beaten KSI on the judges' scorecards, but the punch stats show it was a very close fight.

On Saturday night, after a scrappy contest, Fury emerged victorious by majority decision, but many believed KSI had done enough to earn the win.

According to the punch stats, KSI threw 124 punches compared to Fury's 159, but the social media star landed 38 of those shots, while ex-Love Islander Fury only managed one more.

But, in the judges' minds this was enough to secure Fury the win, although KSI wholeheartedly disagreed.

"It's outrageous," KSI said in his post-fight interview. "We are going to appeal. I wanna appeal, bro.

"I'm sorry, that is outrageous. We need to see it again. I felt like I won that."

And KSI was not the only one who thought he deserved to win, as middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr agreed, saying on the broadcast: "I think KSI won.

"I thought he landed more shots, pushed the pace more and boxed better…

"Tommy has been brought up and boxing's been his life.

"For KSI to go in there and do six competitive rounds with this guy, in a fight a lot of people thought he won, it's a huge thing.
