EDDIE HEARN has branded Tommy Fury a "terrible fighter" following his snoozefest with KSI.<\/p>\n

Former Love Islander Fury locked horns with the YouTuber-turned-influencer-boxer in a Misfits Manchester melee last Saturday.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Professional boxer Fury – the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – put himself under immense pressure to stop KSI in the weeks leading up to the bout.<\/p>\n

But the 24-year-old failed to deliver in what proved to be a clinch-athon of a fight, which will have done incredibly little to change Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn's opinion<\/span> of his skills.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the Stick to Football<\/span> podcast, Hearn said of Fury: "Yes, he\u2019s a professional boxer, but he\u2019s terrible.<\/p>\n

"He\u2019s absolutely swam the channel. <\/p>\n

Hearn's broadcast partners DAZN have embraced the controversial influencer boxing world, much to the annoyance of boxing purists.<\/p>\n

But he insists it won't overtake traditional boxing – despite its immense popularity among Gen Zers.<\/p>\n

He said: "I think it\u2019s a threat – anything that is going to deliver numbers.<\/p>\n

"You have to remember that the people that make boxing grow as a sport are the broadcasters.<\/p>\n

"As long as there is investment from the broadcasters, the sport will continue to flourish.<\/p>\n

"Then there is something else that brings numbers, and any broadcasters that look at it, they don\u2019t really care much or as passionately about the sport as us – they just care about the numbers.<\/p>\n

"I don\u2019t think it\u2019s dangerous because I don\u2019t think they are dangerous enough."<\/p>\n

Fury was far from impressed with his performance but said in his post-fight interview: "I fought my absolute heart out and that's all you can do.<\/p>\n

"I said from day one there will never be another Tyson Fury I'm just trying to be the best Tommy Fury that I can be."<\/p>\n

A frustrated KSI – real name Olijade Olatunji – fumed at the result and took aim at Fury in his interview.<\/p>\n

He said: "Robbery, it's a robbery. You weren't landing, look at your face. Look at you.<\/p>\n

"I'm the YouTuber and you're the boxer, you have to win."<\/p>\n
