"On a s*** performance, I still came out with a win."
The fight between Fury and KSI, which has received plenty of hype in the past few months, failed to live up to the billing.
As a spectacle, fans were left unimpressed by the constant embraces and bizarre footwork, breaking up any sort of momentum.
Fury was also docked a point early in the fight for punching KSI in the back of the head in the second round.
The former Love Island star said: "I thought it was ridiculous. In the professional fights, proper fights, you're meant to have a couple of offences. The first time I did it, bang, a point off.
"But he didn't get a point off for holding all the fight. What's that about?"
