KSI and Tommy Fury are DIVIDED as a scuffle breaks out in the ring after the YouTuber controversially knocks out Joe Fournier in the second round… while ‘TNT’ ‘brawls with Idris Virgo’ in the crowd during the undercard
KSI and Tommy Fury had to be separated following the YouTuber’s stunning second-round knockout victory against Joe Fournier on Saturday night.
In front of a sold-out crowd at Wembley’s OVO Arena, KSI, also known as ‘The Nightmare’, continued his unbeaten boxing record in somewhat controversial circumstances.
KSI hit the 40-year-old with what initially appeared to be an overhand shot, but replays revealed that his elbow appeared to make illegal contact with Fournier’s head.
The 29-year-old was still knocked out and shortly after the fight ‘The Nightmare’ called out Fury, who had been sitting at ringside.
Rising to his challenge, the former Love Island star stepped into the ring and went nose to nose with KSI.

Security intervened when the pair clashed in the ring, with KSI claiming he wanted to ‘fight Fury’
“I want this, I want to do what Jake Paul couldn’t; knock you out,” KSI said, referring to Fury’s recent victory against the American in Saudi Arabia.
Fury replied, “That’s never going to happen.” All I can say is sign me up. Easy money, easy money.
Sign me up, easy money. You’ll be asleep in four rounds.”
Things just kept bubbling in the ring, and while KSI’s record of defeating Joe Weller, Logan Paul, Luis Alcaraz Pineda and Thomas Oliveira remains unbroken, Fury questioned his fight against Fournier, claiming he still hasn’t against an experienced professional.
KSI said: “People always say ‘KSI won’t be able to, he won’t be able to beat Jake or Logan Paul, but I always prove them wrong’.
The 24-year-old replied, moving closer to him, “You didn’t beat a professional boxer tonight, I am the professional boxer.
“Jake Paul is already checked off, and you’re checked off next on the list, and then Misfits is over.”

Meanwhile, Fury was caught on camera fighting outside the ring during the undercard
Things then boiled over in the ring before their entourage had to step in to separate the couple.
But even though Fury wasn’t fighting tonight, he was also reportedly seen brawling outside the ring during the undercard for KSI’s fight.
The 24-year-old, who boasts a professional fight record of 9-0, had to be separated again by security as he and Virgo got together in a very unsavory exchange outside the ring.
It comes as Fury’s next opponent has yet to be confirmed, with Paul previously insisting that he and the Brit will ‘have a rematch’, with the American set to fight Nate Diaz in August.
