Ringside footage shows John Fury telling Tommy Fury to use his elbows in KSI fight
Footage has emerged of what John Fury advising Tommy Fury to use his elbows during his clash with KSI.
The pair went head-to-head over the weekend and Tommy came out on top, winning by unanimous decision, although there was some controversy as many believe KSI deserved the decision.
It was a scrappy fight and there was a lot of holding, so Tommy's dad and trainer, John, gave his son some advice on how to deal with it in the corner.
"Blocking and rolling, use your elbows, you know," John could be heard telling Tommy.
The clip then cuts off but in fairness to John, he seems to be advising his son to use his elbows in a defensive capacity rather than actually hitting KSI with his elbow.
It is perfectly legal and common for a fighter to push opponents off them with their forearm while in a clinch and so this is most likely what John was referring to.

With that being said, KSI is no stranger to throwing an elbow in a boxing fight, as his previous contest against Joe Fournier was ruled a no contest after the YouTuber knocked his opponent out with an accidental elbow.
And in the open workout ahead of the fight, Tommy mocked KSI by jokingly throwing an elbow on the pads.
