KSI v Tommy Fury LIVE: Boxing results as Logan Paul v Dillon Danis and main event end with shock results

The AO Arena in Manchester is hosting tonight’s event and it is packed already. There’s not a seat left available which is insane when you consider that none of the undercard fights have even started yet.

Crossover boxing is getting the general public very interested.

KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) and Logan Paul rose to fame on YouTube before making the crossover into boxing and business, launching the energy drink company Prime together in 2022.

The pair have fought each other twice, once in 2018 then again in a more high profile match at the Staples Center in 2019, with KSI taking the second bout on a split decision in Los Angeles and Paul later facing Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout.

Both headling tonight’s event which is just getting started on DAZN.

Logan Paul has responded to speculation that his fight with Dillon Danis may be cancelled after he took a blow to the face in their pre-fight press conference.

The pair went head-to-head in Manchester on Thursday and continued to goad each other throwing around insults. Paul then threw a bottle at Danis, who responded by launcing a microphone at his face from a couple of feet away.

Footage later emerged showing blood coming from the side of his face but Paul says the fight is still going ahead this evening.

Jiu-jitsu superstar and black belt Gordon Ryan is in Logan Paul’s corner tonight.

Ryan, who is a five–time ADCC World champion, showing support to Paul evidently stings Danis a little, given he is part of the MMA community.

With Danis slinging insults at both men in the final hours before their fight.

The early preliminary fights have been underway for a while Manchester. DTG stopped S-X to claim a first round knockout win while Astrid Wett won a majority decision win over Alexia Grace.

Tempo Arts is crowned the Misfits World Heavyweight Champion with a split decision win over Chase De Moor.

Swarmz, a fan favourite in crossover boxing after his fight with KSI, was beaten by late replacement Ed Matthews.

Like it or not, Misfits boxing is building quite the body of work.

So much so that KSI has looked back on the influencer boxing promotion and picked out his highlights.

fully embrace how ridiculous my job is,” Kody Mommaerts smiles, his whitened grin stretching as wide as a face could allow. “I think you have to understand how ridiculous it is to be able to lean into it, and to be comfortable doing it on this level. I understand that I get into the ring, wear a tuxedo, and yell information into a microphone that you already know. But it works! And it’s badass!”

Better known by his moniker “Big Mo”, 27-year-old Denver native Mommaerts is the youngest ring announcer working at the top end of professional boxing. Ring announcers, also known as “MCs” (masters of ceremonies), are combat sports’ equivalent of the circus ringmaster. They are the men, sometimes women, who usher fighters into the ring, outline the boxers’ backgrounds and accolades, and rev up the crowd with distinctive voices, flamboyant gestures, and pure, distilled energy. Cartoonishly puffed up and preening, they present themselves as carnivalesque characters on nights of commodified violence.

If you’re a fan of combat sports, you’ll be familiar with the golden shimmer of Michael Buffer’s voice, and the iconic boxing moments it has declaimed over decades; or the razor rasp of his younger brother Bruce Buffer, inextricable from the UFC’s rapid rise over the last 30 years. Michael has even trademarked his catchphrase, “Let’s get ready to rumble,” while Bruce’s famous call to arms, “It’s time,” has bred startling success for him on Cameo. And you’ll be hearing much more of Mommaerts’s deep, warm tones in the UK, as the American takes up a prominent place on Sky Sports boxing shows.

Mike Perry willl serve as the back-up fighter for Logan Paul and Dillon Danis’s boxing match on Saturday, when the pair are due to clash before KSI faces Tommy Fury.

Paul and Danis are set to go head to head in Manchester, but their fellow American will be on hand in case either man withdraws – with fans still unsure whether Danis will turn up.

Danis is a jiu-jitsu champion with experience in mixed martial arts, and he is best-known as an ex-teammate of UFC icon Conor McGregor. The 30-year-old was due to make his boxing debut against YouTuber KSI in January but withdrew on short notice, citing a lack of training.

The main ringwalks for tonight’s headlining event are due at 11.15pm with Logan Paul and Dillon Danis currently scheduled to come out around an hour beforehand.

These boxing nights do tend to run long so expect a late on if you’re watching in the UK.

KSI appeared to spit at Tommy Fury’s father, John, during a heated row at an open training event on Wednesday 11 October.

Fury, 59, had thrown a bottle at the YouTuber, who was standing on a balcony, as they argued.

KSI goes toe-to-toe in the ring against Tommy in Manchester on Saturday night, headlining the latest Misfits Boxing event.

“Are you f***ing disrespecting me?” KSI shouted down after the exchange, as a crowd watched on.

“Come down here!” Fury was heard bellowing in response.
