Former Love Island star Tommy Fury has weighed in on KSI's request for a boxing rematch.
The pro boxer came out on top against the YouTuber and rapper on October 14 at Manchester's AO Arena, but KSI was unhappy with the result.
"It's outrageous," KSI said post-fight. "We are going to appeal... I felt like I won that."
In an interview with Good Morning Britain today (October 17), Fury addressed his rival's comments, saying that a rematch is not happening for the time being.

"We only fought on Saturday, but it has got my blood racing again," he said.

"He can say what he wants, but hugging and doing star jumps in the ring does not win a fight and he can go on about how he was robbed, but it was his show, his officials, his judges, so you're saying your own people you employed robbed you?"
Fury continued: "I went in there, tried to make a fight out of it but it's very hard trying to fight someone who doesn't want to fight… star jumps don't win fights."

Asked whether a rematch may take place in the future, the boxer said he's "enjoying some family time" with Molly-Mae Hague and their baby daughter Bambi and will make a decision next month.
"Me and my team are going to get round the table in about a month and we'll decide the best route to take," he said.
Initially, Fury was crowned winner via majority decision of two judges out of the three, but it was later revealed that the adding-up on the third judge's card was wrong, meaning Fury's victory was unanimous.
Fury, who had moved out of his house with his fiancée to train for the match, has recently returned home, so it's understandable he's not eager to get back into the ring soon.
