KSI has hired a lawyer to start a legal battle to appeal his controversial loss Tommy Fury. <\/strong><\/p>\n On the night, Fury was awarded a majority-decision win after two judges scored it in his favour with one card read out a draw. <\/p>\n It was eventually overturned to a unanimous after it was revealed the even score was actually totted up wrong. <\/p>\n KSI was left raging after the result was read out and warned that he would launch an appeal with the Professional Boxing Association. <\/p>\n The PBA – who sanctioned the bout – announced Chase DeMoor, Alexia Grace and Alex Wassabi had all launched appeals. <\/p>\n And KSI's manager Mams Taylor revealed they are in the process of doing the same after hiring legal help. <\/p>\n Taylor posted: "JJ has instructed a King\u2019s Counsel who advised the PBA yesterday that he would be appealing the result of the fight. <\/p>\n "For obvious reasons, we will not get into the specifics of the appeal publicly and allow the process to play out in accordance with PBA rules." <\/p>\n Fury, 24, threw more punches at 159 compared to KSI's 124 and landed one more shot at 38. <\/p>\n But he was less accurate with 25 per cent of his punches landing with KSI's connecting with 31 per cent. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star kicked up a fuss following his first defeat and planned to take action. <\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe\u2019re going to appeal. I want to appeal. I\u2019m sorry, that is outrageous. We need to see it again. I felt like I won that.\u201d<\/p>\n KSI, 30, later broke his social media silence and put on Instagram: "Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone. <\/p>\n "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. <\/p>\n "This little untalented nerd was able go toe to toe with a professional boxer. <\/p>\n "Use me as the living proof that hard work and self belief can get you anywhere in this life." <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
