KSI goes off on Tyson Fury after controversial post-fight speech vs Oleksandr Usyk

Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. After the fight, The Gypsy King appeared respectful to the Ukrainian contender. Fans in the arena were in awe at the sight.

However, Fury managed to turn fans away with one comment in the post-fight speech. The British fighter blamed his loss on the Russia-Ukraine war. He believed Usyk was handed the victory due to the war-torn state of his country.


This received a lot of backlash from fans and fighters alike. One of many personalities who went after Fury was British YouTuber KSI. The rapper attacked The Gypsy King on X(formerly Twitter) after said comments.

“F*** OFF YOU TWAT. You’re actually deluded,” expressed KSI. The YouTuber was not a fan of Tyson Fury’s comments after his first-ever loss in his professional career. Throughout the build-up, KSI showed his support toward Oleksandr Usyk rather than his countryman. 

KSI fought Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury which had a disastrous ending. The YouTuber suffered a controversial loss against the Love Island star and has not stopped the onslaught against him on social media.
