There weren’t exactly any complaints from Tommy, with most coming from his raging corner.
It was a poor start from the younger brother of WBC heavyweight king Tyson, with the crowd desperately trying to raise his spirits.
But there was still time for ANOTHER talking point from the round, as the bell was rang early in the AO Arena in Manchester.
With 17 seconds left of the three minutes, the referee moved in to send the fighters back to their respective corners.
But despite the point off, Fury managed to get the decision on the judges’ scorecards.
One judge had it a 57-57 draw, the other two in favour of TNT 57-56.
Speaking after the fight, Fury revealed he had issues in his training camp, and admitted it was a “battle”.
KSI was raging after the fight, clearly of the opinion that he was robbed.

The YouTuber said he felt he won the first three rounds and that with the point off too it made him a clear winner.
He then said that not only he wanted a rematch, but that he would “appeal” the result.
Earlier in the night in the co-main event, chaos ensured as Dillon Danis was DISQUALIFIED in his fight against Logan Paul.
There were just SECONDS left of the six-rounder the MMA star appeared to try grab Paul into a chokehold.
He had already previously attempted a takedown of the now-WWE star.
