Tommy Fury vs Darren Till press conference descends into brutal brawl after X-rated exchange

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Tommy Fury was involved in a heated altercation with former UFC star Darren Till at a press conference promoting their upcoming boxing fight on January 18.

Fury and Till were joined by Misfits Boxing CEO KSI for what had at first appeared to be a respectful media briefing in London on Tuesday night.

However tempers soon flared when the Liverpudlian mentioned his previous sparring experience with Tyson Fury, the half-brother of Tommy and the son of John.

That led to Fury Snr calling Till "pigs eyes" before the 31-year-old hit back by labelling Fury Snr as "little John". And if that wasn't enough to rile the Fury camp, then Till's claim that Fury Jnr had "the IQ of a loaf of bread" and was an "empty head" proved provocative enough to initiate a brawl on stage.
