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.

Round 3: My Mate Nate’s success is coming from the jab but it doesn’t look as though he has the power to hurt Nunes. An uppercut from Nate lands on Nunes’ chin but the Brazilian comes back with a flurry of body shots.

Nunes is peppering Nate’s body and repeatedly gets his punches to land. This will take it’s toll on Nate as the fight goes on.
There are a lot of punches missing the target, this round goes to Nunes but it was a close one for me. The fight may come down to who has the legs to last the next two rounds.

My Mate Nate is representing Thailand for this fight, Nunes comes from Brazil and has a sketchy record from his four previous fights - two wins, one draw, one defeat.
This could go either way.
Whindersson Nunes vs My Mate Nate
My Mate Nate is the first fighter heading into the ring. He looks a little nervous, but plays up to the crowd.
Whindersson Nunes is a different proposition entirely. He looks dangerous and struts to the ring. This should be another entertaining scrap.

NichLmao & Alex Wassabi vs Luis Alcaraz Pineda & BDave
As we wait for the results, lets assess that tag-team fight. It was so bizarre and the quickness of the tags means that no fighter ever gets into any rhythm.
The skills were sloppy but it was entertaining with a few knockdowns and some heavy hits landed. I’ve no idea how the judges are going to score this though, but we’re about to find out...
