“Let me sincerely apologize for my language outburst, I wasn’t the only one who did this, but I want to come out and apologize because I feel it’s appropriate to make those apologies to the people who came to the press conference. came and to the viewing public. ,’ he added.
My sincerest apologies and I’ll try to improve myself, but folks, this is John Fury, that’s my character.
“This is who I am, I’m a real person, not a fake person, nothing is written, it just happens when it happens.” Once again I apologize for my inappropriate language and if I have offended anyone I am deeply sorry. Until next time.’
Anger erupted when KSI questioned the boxing abilities of his other son and world heavyweight champion Tyson and challenged the Englishman for ‘dodging’ fights against Oleksandr Usyk, provoking a foul-mouthed backlash.
He snapped and started yelling, “Full of s***. Filled with ***. Shut up, mother***. Now come and fight me instead of talking all that nonsense about people’s goddamn assholes.
He continued, “We are fighting men. My son (pointing to Tommy) will now fight him (pointing to KSI) and then fight anyone else who wants it. Now let’s get the ball rolling.
His son Tommy jokingly explained that it “must have been the red wine” that caused the eruption
“Get the cake and put it in your hole before I do. All these little goddamn kids. I am a machine. Me! Can anyone wonder who I am here? I’ll take them’.
Tommy later gave an explanation for his father’s reaction, jokingly claiming it must have been caused by the “red wine.”
Tommy and KSI will settle their differences in the ring on Saturday, October 14 in Manchester, while Fury Snr will be present at ringside.
Fury has a history of anger, once gouging out a man’s eyes after a 12-year row over a bottle of beer. He served four years of the eleven-year sentence imposed on him as a result.
