‘Little nerd’ KSI posts heartfelt message after Tommy Fury defeat and claims he ‘accomplished what he wanted’
KSI shared a heartfelt message with his fans after losing to Tommy Fury.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer suffered his first ever defeat in the ring with Fury claiming a points victory.
KSI felt he deserved the win and called for a rematch after branding the result a "robbery" even though Fury would have won even more convincingly if the scorecards were added up correctly.
After watching the fight back he has not changed his mind, with KSI landing just one punch less than his opponent.
Despite the defeat the 30-year-old says he accomplished what he set out to do and thanked his fans for their support.
He wrote on Twitter: "Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone.
"In the ring and watching it back I feel like I should have won. Either way I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to in the end.
"This little untalented nerd was able to go toe to toe with a professional boxer. Use me as the living proof that hard work and self-belief can get you anywhere in this life ❤️"
KSI has had eight fights since taking up boxing in 2018, and even took a three-year break between fighting Logan Paul and Swarmz.
It remains to be seen if he will fight again but if he does one potential opponent is Logan's brother, Jake Paul.
