DAZN CEO Joe Markowski is calling for a KSI vs Tommy Fury rematch after the YouTube star was “robbed” of victory.
After much anticipation, KSI and Tommy Fury finally faced each other on October 14. Fighting for six rounds, Fury ultimately came out on top, winning by majority decision – soon corrected resolved into a unanimous decision.
However, it is fair to say that Fury did not win the fight without controversy and backlash, with many believing that KSI should have taken it home.
The YouTube star will appeal what he calls an “outrageous” decision, hoping his first loss will be overturned. Meanwhile, fans called KSI a “cheat” and a “robber” – especially noting Fury’s point deduction in the third round.
Among those who came to blows was DAZN CEO Joe Markowski, who immediately after the fight was one of the first to claim KSI had been “robbed” of victory. Not only that, the CEO is now calling on KSI to step into the ring with Fury again for a rematch.
DAZN CEO said KSI was “robbed” and should rematch Fury
After previously claiming in an Instagram story that the YouTube star was “robbed” after going six rounds with Tommy Fury, Markowski is now calling for a rematch.
Doubling down on his previous comments, the DAZN CEO urged KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, to appeal the result of the match, before suggesting a rematch between the two internet stars.
“Hold still. @KSI was robbed,” he said. “Please appeal and rematch @MamsTaylor.”
Now that the fight is over and done with, it’s unclear what will happen next for KSI and Tommy Fury, as both fighters appear to be going down different paths.
However, it’s fair to say that fans are more excited than ever to see KSI step into the ring alongside Jake Paul, who will soon announce his next opponent in December’s bout.
