The fight began in wild fashion with both fighters landing strikes however KSI connected with a straight right as the best shot of the round. Fury landed two right hands early in the second round but received a point deduction for a strike to the back of the head.
Fury had a much better third round, landing a strong left hook off a break and finding his distance. KSI would clinch repeatedly in the fourth as Fury began finding the target. The fifth round would see a near unbearable amount of clinching though Fury landed shots in the few moments that occurred at range. The two would spend most of the last round in the clinch with KSI landing the biggest shot of the round.
At the end Fury would win a controversial majority decision with the scores being 57-57, 57-56, 57-56. Due to the point deduction most of the commentators were expecting KSI to get the win, something they voiced loudly.

Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis
American YouTuber Logan Paul and American mixed martial artist Dillon Danis also clashed at the event.
Danis was shockingly passive in the first round, seemingly trying to tire Paul out – who in turn threw and landed several strikes. The second round was more of the same initially until Paul connected with a heavy strike, shaking Danis. Paul attacked fiercely while Danis covered up and the round came to a close.
The third round saw Danis press forward with near inexistent actual offense, as Paul landed strikes to the body and head. The next two rounds continued in the same fashion with Danis entering the last round having only landed nine strikes compared to Pauls 87.
Paul comfortably secured the first round despite Danis attempting a takedown and sitting for a guillotine towards the end of the round but as it came to a close. Afterwards Danis continued chasing after his foe, even swinging towards security gaurds.
Paul would win every round on every judges score card but Danis was disqualified due to his actions at the end of the final round.
