Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the world of boxing throws a curveball. The anticipated clash between YouTuber KSI and unbeaten boxer Tommy Fury has been caught in an unexpected twist. The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), typically the ringmaster in UK boxing, has curiously stepped back from this particular show.

In a move as rare as hens’ teeth, the BBBofC won’t be the body sanctioning this viral showdown. The reasoning dances around bureaucracy and elusive paperwork. KSI, for all his boxing exploits, lacks a BBBofC licence. This bureaucratic hiccup throws the match into uncharted waters, overseen now by an offbeat player – the Professional Boxing Association (PBA).

Unsanctioned showdown: PBA takes the lead in KSI vs Fury bout

In the pulsating world of boxing, news travels faster than jabs and hooks. When sports journalist Michael Benson broke the news about the PBA sanctioning the KSI-Fury match instead of the BBBofC, fans took no time to register their responses.

Leading the barrage of opinions is RoniBMCity, who isn’t surprised by the move. In his view, KSI’s fights are clown shows, with Jake Paul being the only fighter in the influencer scene who engages in professional fights with proper VADA testing.

On the contrary, The Fan stands unwavering in his support for KSI. For him, the sanctioning body matters not; he believes KSI will outclass the professional boxer, Tommy Fury.

Adding another flavor to the debate, Rory Peter throws his weight behind Fury. In his perspective, Fury is pocketing millions of pounds for an easy victory against KSI, a fight he thinks Fury could win even in his sleep.

However, Gunnatello’s thoughts revolve around the legitimacy of the event. He criticizes the use of less reputable commissions by KSI, compared to Jake Paul, who, in his opinion, uses more credible resources.

Last but not least, King Jake Paul couldn’t resist throwing a punch at KSI, highlighting that Jake Paul managed to get a professionally sanctioned fight while KSI couldn’t. He even hints at a possible rigging by the organizing company, Misfits.

Navigating through these myriad reactions, it’s clear that this unexpected turn of events has elicited a vibrant mix of opinions. This spectrum of thoughts paints a rich and multifaceted picture of the fans’ perspective on this high-profile bout.
