The father of heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury, put on a show of anger at the first press conference to promote the fight between his son Tommy Fury and rapper/influencer KSI.
John Fury, father of the heavyweight world champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Tyson Fury, and also a boxer and celebrity himself, Tommy Fury, stole the show at the first press conference to promote the card that his son Tommy and rapper/influencer KSI will headline on October 14th at the Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom.
The ceremony, held on Tuesday at Wembley Arena in London, was filled with taunts and jabs from the involved athletes.
However, John, who is also Tommy's trainer, put on a spectacle of rage on stage. In summary, the patriarch of the family caused a general disturbance.
John stood up and insulted KSI, who is facing his son. He then began to destroy the stage prepared for the press conference, flipping and kicking tables and chairs where the participants were. The veteran's tantrum caused widespread confusion among influencers and athletes involved in the event. Dillon Danis, who is facing Logan Paul on the card, even attempted to throw a chair at his rival but was stopped by security.

After the tensions calmed down, Tommy Fury (9-0-0, 4 KOs) and KSI (1-0-0, 0 KOs) had a tense confrontation. With foreheads touching, the boxers exchanged insults until the YouTuber, who has won several exhibition fights, pushed Tyson Fury's younger brother and started a new mess. Also present on stage and seemingly still out of control, John Fury had to be restrained by three security guards from attacking his son's opponent.
