Tommy Fury stumbles to points win against YouTuber KSI after laboured display in Manchester
TOMMY FURY walked out to his fight with KSI to Michael Jackson's Thriller - but the six round crossover clash was far from it.
It was only in February that Fury ended two years of bitter feuding with Jake Paul by winning a split-decision in Saudi Arabia.

So Paul's arch enemy KSI stepped up to try and finish what the American started.
But in the end he suffered the same fate as Paul, losing a majority-decision in Fury's hometown of Manchester.
Fury said: "I fought my absolute heart out and that's all you can do.
"I said from day one there will never be another Tyson Fury I'm just trying to be the best Tommy Fury that I can be."

KSI was left fuming with the controversial result and plans to appeal the loss.
He said: "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."
The fight got off to an electric start but the action started and soon ended there.

KSI, 30, lunged in with a looping right hand that caught Fury's chin and attention.
But his hands down, fleet-footed style clashed with Fury's herky jerky approach with the pair constantly clinching.
Fury, 24, was deducted a point for rabbit punching after the two collided and traded shots up close and personal.
He bounced back well in round three with a left hook on the break which proved to be a rare moment of success for either.
Fury ran away with the result down the stretch as the aggressor, at least attempting to initiate the action.
After the fight, Fury vowed "I'm done with the bulls***, f*** the bulls***" - ruling out a return to influencer boxing.
KSI and Fury then became embroiled in a furious war of words - with the former calling for a rematch.
He then fumed at Fury's illegal shots - claiming the decision was "outrageous" before revealing that he plans to appeal.

The fight came after more chaos in the bout between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis.
Paul was heading for a comfortable points win before Danis tried to wrestle him with an MMA-style attack that sparked a 30-man melee in the ring and saw the Jiu-jitsu fighter disqualified.
