<\/p>\nKSI has confirmed his sparring partners were offered a \u00a35,000 knock-out bonus as he prepared to face Tommy Fury.<\/p>\n
The YouTuber-turned-boxer lost his latest bout last month, with former Love Islander Fury being awarded a unanimous decision – which had to be changed post-fight after an error on the scorecards – despite failing to impress.<\/p>\n
KSI managed to hold his own against his more-experienced opponent, a performance which was aided by a gruelling training camp. It emerged before the fight that his coaches had been offering an extra incentive to his sparring partners.<\/p>\n

Yeah man, it was pretty ridiculous. <\/p>\n "I heard it only near the end of the camp, so they didn't tell me obviously. I was like, 'Jesus Christ, no wonder they're trying to knock my head off'."<\/p>\n KSI appealed his defeat with many leading boxing figures, including Eddie Hearn and Chris Eubank Jr, feeling he'd done enough to beat Fury, who had a point docked for repeated punches to the back of the head.<\/p>\n Would you care if KSI didn't fight again? Let us know in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n "I felt like I won the fight, man," he reflected, two weeks on from fight night. "It was weird, I felt like Tommy was surprised he just didn't expect me to move the way I was moving.<\/p>\n "There were quite a few people who were hoping I would lose or get knocked out, like boxing purists, and they saw that first round and were like, 'Oh no. It's going to happen, oh my God'.<\/p>\n "Throughout the rounds I felt like I was doing well, getting the big shots off, obviously [receiving] a lot of back of the head shots."<\/p>\n Fury insisted he's done with the influencer boxing scene post-fight, while KSI has admitted he feels like he's "retired" in the aftermath, putting a hotly-anticipated clash with Jake Paul in doubt.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31338105.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_harveyubhi_1696688049_3208374357482113748_207582597.jpg\")
