John Fury held back by security after heated exchange with son Tommy's former opponent

Things got heated in a recent press conference which took place ahead of Floyd Mayweather's upcoming exhibition bout against Deji. But strangely, Mayweather wasn't actually involved.

It actually had to do with the Fury family. Tommy Fury is set to be on the undercard of the Mayweather's event and is due to fight Paul Bamba.

Whilst at a press conference, John Fury, father of boxing brothers Tommy and Tyson Fury, was involved in a heated exchange with Tommy's former opponent, Anthony Taylor. The scuffle started after John took issue with Taylor's constant interruption during the press conference, something he perceived to be a lack of respect.

John got up and gestured towards Taylor, who continued to provoke him. The father of the boxing pair warned that he would knock him out if he didn't stop with his antics.

Security guards managed to effectively seize control of the situation and calm John down. Tommy, who was also present, sniggered at the scene.
