An error has been spotted after the scorecards from KSI vs Tommy Fury were revealed.
On Saturday night, KSI and Fury battled inside the ring in front of a packed-out AO Arena in Manchester.
To the surprise of many, YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI dominated the fight in the early stages.

Fury had a point deducted in the second round after hitting KSI on the back of the head but the hometown boy eventually grew into the fight.
After six rounds, the bout was controversially given to Fury via a majority decision.
During the aftermath of the fight, the scorecards from the judges were leaked on social media, and a huge mistake was spotted.

When the result was announced, it was revealed that judge Rafael Ramos scored the fight 57-57.
However, the round-by-round tally on his scorecard shows he only gave KSI 56 points and 57 points to Fury.
This means that Fury should have technically won by unanimous decision.
KSI was absolutely furious with the result and stated that he intends to appeal the decision. Fury could potentially appeal too if he wants to change the decision from majority to unanimous.

KSI said: “Robbery. It’s a robbery.”
He then told Fury: “How many jabs did you land? You got hardly any shots off. Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber and you’re the boxer, you have to win.
“The amount of times he hit me in the back of the head and the referee only gave one point, and he was doing it over and over.”

He added: “It’s outrageous. We’re gonna appeal. We need to appeal. I feel like I won that.”
When asked about a potential rematch, Fury said: “He goes his way and I go mine.
“I’m done with all this, this crossover, I’m here to fight and we go onto the next challenge now.”
