Tommy Fury was left with his head in his hands after dad John made a vile sexual remark about Jake Paul’s girlfriend Julia Rose.
The two boxers took part in a press conference ahead of their December 18 fight.
But it was over video, with Jake in the US and Tommy still training at home.
And during the trash-talking, Tommy’s dad John took centre stage - and took things too far.

After a predictably heated, insult-laden conference with both sides talking over the top of each other, John took the mic as heavyweight champion Tyson and Tommy both looked on.
But he also took it way over the line when he said “when Tommy knocks you out” before describing a sex act with Paul’s girlfriend.
There was shock all around, with promoter Frank Warren, also on video, left open-mouthed in disbelief.
Tommy had his head in his hands, while older brother and WBC king Tyson, who was also present, looking away.
John continued: “So I’m telling you straight, that’s where we are coming from. If you don’t like it, change the channel.”
BT Sports apologised for the X-rated tirade.
“This week BT Sport streamed a live boxing press conference that included a number of offensive and unacceptable comments, some of which has led to further online abuse,” Boxing on BT Sport said in a statement on Twitter.
“This goes against all the values that BT Sport wants to uphold.
“We would like to apologise for any offence or upset this has caused.”
But Fury Sr. doubled down after the press conference.
“He is just a cheeky lad with no respect for real fighters,” Fury Sr told Queensberry Promotions. “And Tommy is going to hurt him I will tell you that now and if he doesn’t I won’t speak to him.
“You can tell what state of mind he is in now, he knows the people around him have made a mistake getting him in to this.
“Isn’t he a horrible lad though? But I am a horrible man so touché, it is a pity that I can’t get to America but I will say one thing.
“Anyone who thinks I am a loud mouth and invades my space, I will drop them where they stand no matter who they are.
“ Jake Paul or anybody who tries to disrespect me and my family will is getting it there and then, and there will be no backwards steps from me at all. I will back up what I say.”
Jake is dating Instagram model Julia Rose, the 26-year-old often attending his boxing fights.
The pair went Instagram official with their romance in February 2020.
The couple met on the set of his music video for These Days.
Julia is best known for being the ‘World Series Flasher’.
In 2019 Julia, along with her friend Lauren Summer, both lifted their shirts to flash Houston Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole.
It was during Game 5 of the MLB World Series.
Julia said the flashing was part of a “planned publicity stunt” to promote her website Shagmag.
Both women have been banned for life from attending any future baseball matches in the US.
Jake, meanwhile, is close to settling his beef once and for all with former Love Islander Tommy at the Amalie Arena in Tampa seven days before Christmas.The YouTuber has won all four of his pro fights, three by KO.
Tommy is also undefeated with seven wins and four KOs.
