KSI v Tommy Fury LIVE: Boxing results as Logan Paul v Dillon Danis and main event end with shock results
Follow live updates from the highly-anticipated boxing matches in Manchester
KSI and Tommy Fury squared off in the boxing ring in a poorly executed contest defined by clinching and wild swinging. Fury, so composed in his win over Jake Paul earlier this year, seemed to want to match the unorthodox style of KSI but found himself confused as to how to tackle the fight.
A points deduction in the second round further put Fury on the back foot only for him to find a bit of momentum in the third round. The fight seemed even throughout with KSI’s corner adamant that he was in front on the cards. When the decision was announced in Fury’s favour, KSI was shocked and labelled the decision a ‘robbery; in his post-match interview causing Fury to brand him a ‘bad loser.
Moments before their encounter Logan Paul and Dillon Danis’ co-main event developed into a brawl that forced security to intervene.
Danis, who twice tried to choke out and wrestle Paul to the ground, was issued a disqualification after six rounds in which Paul dominated from start to finish. Months of bad blood between the two men came to a head as Paul remained composed and collected utilising a mix of jabs and heavy hooks to unsettle the former MMA fighter whose main goal was to avoid a knockout.
The scenes at the end of the fight led to Paul branding Danis a ‘coward’ and a joke of a fighter before he left the stage with the British crowd chanting his name.

Danis tried to yank Logan to the ground with a headlock and get pinned on the face as he hit the flow right at the end of the round. That’s what brought security into the ring as Danis started fighting them.
Jake Paul got into the mix too but Logan realised he’d already won that fight before the brawl.

Round 6: Now then, what will the final round have in store?
Dillon Danis has landed just nine punches in five rounds. Logan Paul comes out with a flurry of punches but only lands a couple. Danis seems as though he’s just avoiding a knockout. He doesn’t seem to want to win.
Paul has even stopped trying to defend. Danis is docked a point for trying to wrestle Paul to the ground and the crowd has completely changed their allegiance. They’re chanting for Logan to finish this off.
Danis falls to the ground and wilding swings after Paul, the fight descends into a brawl and security storms the ring. Danis tries to fight them off as Logan stands on the ropes celebrating.
Danis has embarrased himself with that performance. Awful stuff from him.

Round 5: Has Danis’ gameplan to tire out Logan Paul worked? It doesn’t seem as though it has.
Logan works the body and a gets Danis into the corner. He replies with an overhead right that Paul manages to brush off. It’s been a heavily one-sided affair.
Danis can’t really touch Paul and is reluctant to throw the punches required to win this fight. It’s all going Logan’s way.

Round 4: Danis lands a nice right early in the round and worries Paul a little bit. Paul stands off Danis and invites the former mma fighter to unload a few punches.
Paul finds the body then the head with a one-two combo.
Danis remains reserved and is knocked off balance with a strong right hook from Paul. The next combo doesn’t get through the guard and the crowd are starting to get restless.

Round 3: Logan Paul ended that round beautifully but has he tired himself out? We’ll see.
Paul is still watchful and doesn’t overcommit at the start of the third. Danis’ left eye is starting to bruise. Logan works the body with a couple of jabs the clinches as Danis steps onto him.
It’s smart play.
Danis mocks Paul then misses his first real attempt at a combo. Logan goes through the guard and lands one on the nose. He’s won every round so far but the knockout doesn’t seem close.
Three to go.
