Tommy Fury won via majority decision against KSI on Saturday night but it emerged that one judge gave an incorrect score.
The two went head-to-head in Manchester on Saturday night in their highly anticipated fight but fans walked away disappointed.
Both fighters failed to impress as they spent the majority of the rounds in the clinch and the lacklustre fight ended going to the judges scorecards.
Fury won via a majority decision with two out of three judges giving him the victory despite being docked a point in the second round for continually punching KSI in the back of his head.
But it later emerged that one of the judges, Rafael Ramos, added his card up incorrectly and awarded KSI 57 points instead of 56 which meant Fury should’ve actually won by unanimous decision.
And now it appears the result has been corrected to reflect that.
Tommy Fury’s win over KSI has now been CORRECTED to a unanimous decision, not a majority decision, because one of the judges’ scorecards was added up incorrectly. His card was announced as a 57-57 draw, when he actually scored it 57-56 to Fury – same as the other two judges.

Post-fight KSI said that the decision was a ‘robbery’ and that he planned to appeal the result.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani he said:
“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.”
Is KSI right to feel aggrieved?
