Fans have slammed KSI vs Tommy Fury after the wrong result was announced due to a judge scoring his card incorrectly.
Fury was awarded a majority decision victory with scores of 56-57, 56-57 and 57-57 being announced.
But TNT actually won via unanimous decision, with judge Rafael James also scoring the contest 56-57 in his favour.

Jake Paul slams KSI as a 'sore loser'
JAKE PAUL slammed KS as a "sore loser" as he demanded an appeal to his "robbery" loss to Tommy Fury.
KSI was beaten as a boxer for the first time after six scrappy rounds at Manchester's AO Arena.
He came out on the wrong end of a majority-decision despite Fury having a point taken for punches to the back of the head.
Still his aggression and work rate saw him scrape a win - leaving KSI in rage at the result.
He said: "We're gonna appeal. I want to appeal. I'm sorry that is outrageous."
In a separate rant, KSI fumed to Fury: "Robbery, it's a robbery. You weren't landing, look at your face.
"Look at you. I'm the YouTuber and you're the boxer, you have to win."
Fury, 24, came into the Battle of Britain bout having beaten KSI's arch rival Paul, 26, over eight rounds in February.
The American was ringside to watch his old rivals do battle having cornered brother Logan, 28, to victory over Dillon Danis, 30.
And he was quick to rub salt in the wounds after watching KSI suffer the same fait as him against Fury.
Paul posted on X, formerly Twitter: "HAHAHAHA KSI SORE LOSER CHOKING UP.
"Only thing that got robbed is his hair line It’s okay KSI me too it’s gonna be okay bubba.
"I took my loss like a man from the scorecard read and showed the youth how to learn from it and come back to take a W.
"This 30 year old man crying for an appeal."

It is the second time Fury has defeated a YouTuber in the ring this year, having also beaten Jake Paul on points in February.
After defeating KSI the 24-year-old promised he was finished with crossover fighting, yet seconds later challenged Jake and his brother Logan Paul to a fight.
He told DAZN: "He goes his way I go mine. I'm done with all this s***. All this crossover s***. I'm not part of that I'm here to fight and we go onto the next challenge now.
"I'm done with the bulls***. F*** the bulls**** onto the next challenge. Any of the Pauls want it I welcome it with open arms."
KSI, 30, wants a rematch after claiming Fury's win was a "robbery".
He believes he should have won as he told his opponent he barely landed a punch, while Fury also had a point deducted for punching KSI in the back of his head.
John Fury on KSI post-fight
John Fury said: “I did go over to KSI [after the Tommy Fury fight] and try to be reasonable with him.
"I said, ‘Fair play to you,’ I put my hand out to him and he wouldn’t even shake it.
"That’s up to him, but they need a lesson in how to be men. He spat at me, so I could’ve said I’m not going near him.
"But I know the fight game and what you do at the end of a fight is shake the man’s hand - win, lose or draw.
"But these people don’t get it today. I’m old fashioned.”

There is no doubt that all of the hype was surrounding KSI vs Tommy Fury, but that was not our favourite fight of the night.
In fact, there were two in the build up to the main event that were absolutely sensational.
Salt Papi vs Slim was a personal favourite.
It looked as though Slim was wilting away in the ring, and the fight was as good as done, with Salt Papi laughing at him.
But at the death, the Slim Reaper returned, and swung a big right hook at Salt Papi to knock him to the ground.
It was a great night of boxing overall, but that fight took the cake.

KSI will without a doubt be wanting a re-match of that fight, as he feels he deserved the win tonight.
However, Tommy seemingly ruled that out on the night.
