Internet sensation KSI fumed with the result of the contest, so much so he launched an appeal to the Professional Boxing Association.
But the PBA have insisted there are NO grounds to overturn the result of the Misifts melee.
A statement read: “The PBA confirms that an independent review panel, consisting of two of the country’s leading King’s Counsel and a third lawyer, has determined that there are no grounds to overturn the @KSI vs. @tommytntfury fight result from October 14, 2023.”
Team KSI are far from happy with the result of their appeal and have vowed to fight tooth and nail to get the verdict overturned.
The social media star’s manager Mams Taylor said: “We will now move to the second of three possible stages of the appeal.
“As we continue to fight to have the decision of the bout rightly overturned.”
Neither KSI – real name Olijade Olatunji – nor Fury – the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson have publicly reacted to the news of the result being upheld.
Scores of influencer boxing fans, however, reacted to the news on X.

One wrote: “And rightly so. Tommy won comfortably.”
Another said: “Let it go, man, it’s over.”
And another said: “They’re actually doing everything in their power to win this appeal, like bro what are they appealing?”
One remarked: “Honestly embarrassing from KSI to continue with this.
“You can’t bounce around the whole fight and think you deserve a W.
“Let it go and fight Jake [Paul].
Another chimed in: “He lost get over it You own the Promotion company that runs the fight.
“The previous fight he hit the guy with his elbow which should have been a disqualification but was deemed a KO win. He is an idiot.”
KSI, 30, was consumed with rage after slipping to his first defeat in the influencer boxing scene.
So much so he claimed he was “ROBBED” of a victory.”
He said: “Obviously [Tommy Fury’s] a pro boxer.
“If I won, it’s a mockery for the sport. That’s how they see it.
“I won it bro. I got robbed. It’s outrageous bro… I was landing the cleanest shots, he couldn’t get any jabs off.”
