Tommy Fury press conference descends into utter chaos

But the mutual respect did not last long as ex-UFC star Till threatened to kick Fury in the face during the fight.

Fury’s famously volatile dad John responded by chucking water at Till - sparking the wild scenes on stage.

Security desperately tried to intervene and separate the two camps as tempers flared.

Till, 31, could be heard yelling: “Sit down little John.”

John yelled: “Come on, let’s go.”

Till hit back: “What are you gonna do? Get you with your security. Pair of s***houses. I’d absolutely tear you upside down. Be quiet little John.”

And Misfits founder KSI, who lost to Fury in October, was in hysterics in between the brawling two and shouted out: “Get your tickets.”

Fury, 25, has not returned since beating KSI, 31, via decision in October following hand surgery.

Till meanwhile crosses over for his second boxing bout after leaving the UFC in 2022.

The fight is set to be contested at heavyweight over eight, three-minute rounds.
