King Kenny has admitted he thought his fight with FaZe Sensei was a draw after being awarded a controversial win.
The British star - real name Kenny Ojuederie - was searching for redemption in his second professional fight against FaZe Sensei at London's O2 arena last night, and came out on top with a controversial majority decision win. Ojuederie put in a much improved display than in his previous bout with FaZe Temperrr, but suffered an early knockdown and was largely unable to match his rivals skills.
When the judges decision arrived, Ojuederie was controversially awarded a majority victory with two of the judges' scorecards in his favour. His face drew a stunned picture with his mouth wide open when the decision was announced, with images of his reaction going viral as he looked as in shock as the rest of the YouTube boxing community.
He later reacted to the decision, tweeting: "LMAO I honestly thought it was a draw." He then added: "Another overturn incoming." Ojuederie was awarded a controversial win over another FaZe member Temperrr earlier this year when fighting on the undercard of Deji's defeat to Alex Wassabi.
However the decision was later overturned after a review decided the judges' decision to award the Briton a win was wrong. Sensei, who has an extensive background in MMA, showed his class on Saturday night with a superb display captured by his early knockdown after a dominant opening round.
Despite the experience difference, Ojuederie held his own but was unable to make any significant dent in his fast-moving rival. Despite fans claiming the fight was "rigged" and showing significant outrage at the decision, Sensei was less concerned and revealed he couldn't decide the score while fighting.
Do you think King Kenny's win over FaZe Sensei should be overturned? Let us know in the comments section below
"I don't really know it was hard when you are fighting to decide," Sensei told Seconds Out when assessing the result minutes after the final bell. "I knew it was close and I didn't think I was active enough as Kenny had a great jab. I did land a standing eight count and some big shots but he was there the whole time so I wasn't surprised it was close.
"When it is close you can't leave it to the judges. I would have been more active but his jab was great and he always had an answer and he did a good job of keeping me away. He was doing a great job of keeping the distance from me and he was certainly ready."
