John Fury sparked absolute pandemonium at his son Tommy Fury’s press conference with Darren Till.

Fury Sr was present on stage with his son and former UFC superstar Till at the launch press conference for their Misfits Boxing fight on January 18 in Manchester.

And he appeared to react to a jibe by Till, regarding his other son Tyson’s heavyweight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in May.

The famous father picked up a bottle of water and began squirting it towards Till and his team, as well as his son’s bitter rival KSI who was also present.

It triggered a wild scuffle after just minutes of being on stage when he became embroiled in a shouting match with his son’s opponent.

A sea of security were forced to storm the stage and keep the teams apart as they tried desperately to get towards each other and come to blows.

Till even tried breaking through security by getting around the front of the stage to confront Fury Sr.

Luckily the pair remained separate, and security managed to de-escalate the frenzy after several minutes.

Fury Sr has previous of causing chaos at Misfits Boxing events, having trashed the set at a press conference for his son’s clash with the promotion’s CEO KSI.

He threw a table and kicked over the entire set-up while charging towards his son’s rival, which saw the face-offs cancelled.

When the pair were kept apart at a pre-fight final staredown last October, Fury Sr even began furiously punching a cage that kept him apart from ‘The Nightmare’.

It is likely the chaos will continue into fight week in Manchester, an event which has come as a surprise to the boxing world.

The young Fury hasn’t fought since his narrow win over KSI last year, having faced a lengthy injury lay-off following reconstructive surgery to his knuckle.

He has continued to stick in the influencer boxing sphere, where more lucrative paydays have come than in the traditional professional ranks.

Till comes as a shock opponent given his natural ability lies in the world of MMA, having fought 12 times in the UFC.

He has a professional MMA record of 18-5-1, but has fought a star-studded list of names including Jorge Masvidal, Tyron Woodley and Donald Cerrone.

At the peak of his powers, Till challenged for the UFC welterweight title against Woodley in 2018 but was beaten.

He was eventually released by the UFC last year and is now fully focused on lucrative squared circle opportunities beginning with his outing in January.

He has become the latest UFC fighter to cross over to the boxing world, following in the footsteps of the likes of Jake Paul and Nate Diaz.

Till has only appeared in the boxing ring once before, in a showdown with Mohammad Mutie at Social Knockout 3 in July.

The fight was waved off which sparked a mass brawl between him and his opponent and their respective teams.

For Fury it is another big opportunity to continue to boost his profile, and could set up further huge clashes in 2025.

This could include a rematch with KSI, who was present at the press conference.

He could also pursue a sequel with Jake Paul, the other fighter who he beat in 2023 by split decision.
