In front of a sold out Manchester Arena, Tommy Fury was frustrated and hustled by KSI in their six round cruiserweight bout, but still managed to take a tight points win on top of a Misfits bill.
KSI (5-1-1, KO4) landed with a sweeping right hand in the opening frame, and he was content to rush in and smother Furyโs work. Fury (10-0, KO4) was docked a point in the second for repeated blows behind the head, and he was struggling to pin his opponent down, with the third seeing more scrappy action. It was a clinch-fest, with Fury trying to let his hands go but being stifled by KSI, and as the contest went to the last round, it looked up for grabs. Fury was able to get some shots off as KSI tired, but a war of attrition would be decided on the scorecards.
One judge ruled the fight 57-57, while the remaining two tallied 57-56 in Furyโs favour. A rematch will more than likely be a possibility.

In the co-main event, Logan Paul routed Dillon Danis in their cruiserweight meeting, with Danis showing little ambition throughout the six rounds completed, and he was eventually disqualified. Danis was bizarre in his approach, and by the final round, he resorted to grappling Paul by the legs, and then attempted to guillotine Paul, which resulted in security storming the ring, and Paul was handed the win with Danis disqualified.

The Middleweight title went to Slim, as he produced a strong fourth round to score a stoppage win against Salt Papi. Salt Papi was dominant after three rounds, but Slim turned the tide in round four, scoring a knockdown with a big right hand, and on the resumption, a sustained attack forced the referee to call a halt.

Tempo Arts, the heavyweight divisionโs number one, defended his Misfits heavyweight title with a split decision win against Chase Demoor. Two tallies of 39-37 for Tempo overruled another tally for the same score for Demoor.
Ed Matthews wasted little time in seeing off Brandon Scott, as he needed under thirty seconds to score a knockout win. A raking left hand, and a twisted ankle for Scott, sealed a dominant win.
