According to Tommy Fury, his father John’s outburst during the press conference with KSI was caused by him drinking “red wine.”
The 59-year-old father of the Love Island star blushed as he referred to himself as “a machine” during a Tuesday on-stage outburst in which he threw a table and some chairs.
Tommy, 24, was questioned about whether John’s antics were preplanned after the commotion subsided. While he insisted that his father had caught him off guard, he did acknowledge that it had all been “fun and games” and attributed it to some red wine.
“No, absolutely not, I didn’t see that coming,” Tommy replied.
He must have been hit by the red wine, and he then just got into it. But ultimately, it’s just for entertainment purposes and to hype the fight, so it was good and I liked it.
Security personnel acted quickly to stop the furious Fury as he kicked the table and slammed his fists on it.
After the dust settled, Tommy and KSI reentered the ring for a duel, which ended with the boxer-turned-YouTube star pushing his rival.
Tommy, however, was unconcerned by the push’s assertion that KSI was “powerless”.
“He gave me a little push,” he claimed. He is helpless because everyone could see it on camera and it had no effect.
After today, “His time is running out, and he knows that, and he knows what’s going to happen to him.”
Tommy asserted that KSI will be a simpler opponent for him than Jake Paul was in their previous encounter.
He prevailed over the internet celebrity in a split decision.
Tommy continued, “To be honest, I don’t think KSI can tie Jake Paul’s boots up.”
“I’ve personally observed him there, and he’s no more than a middleweight. He is two weight classes below me, and may God protect him that evening.”
“He won’t be able to advance past the opening round.”
