KSI's brutal assessment of boxer Tommy Fury's Soccer Aid appearance

Tommy Fury took to Old Trafford on Sunday night to make his Soccer Aid debut.

The boxer came on for the World XI at the home of Manchester United during the first half. But his display on the right wing left some fans a little unimpressed.

Tommy's first touch appeared to let him down on occasion although he did produce a couple of strong challenges - as you'd expect from the heavyweight .

And KSI - Tommy's potential next opponent in the ring - was one of those to take issue with the 24-year-old Love Island star's performance in the charity match which was broadcast on ITV.

The YouTuber and social media star tweeted: "Tommy Fury should stick to boxing lmao, he’s terrible at football".

And many viewers watching at home agreed with KSI's rather brutal assessment of Tommy.

@cainwilkes tweeted: "I know it’s saying a lot but after seeing Tommy Fury play in Soccer Aid, I think I might have a chance at playing in it, in the future."

@che_mcqueen wrote: "Tommy Fury has to be the worst footballer in soccer aid history."

And @cpfcbailey wrote on social media: "Watching Tommy fury in soccer aid is box office."
