John Fury, the father of reigning WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, plans to call boxing legend and Francis Ngannou coach Mike Tyson a traitor to his face when the two meet in Saudi Arabia later this month.

On October 28, Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight titleholder, will make his professional boxing debut as he is set to square off with ‘The Gypsy King’ in Riyadh. In the months leading up to their highly anticipated crossover clash, ‘The Predator’ has been getting a helping hand in the gym from none other than ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

Naming his son after the fabled knockout artist, John Fury feels admittedly slighted by the former champ, suggesting that by helping Ngannou, Mike Tyson is a traitor to his sport and he plans to tell him as such when the two men inevitably come face-to-face in the Middle East.

“Me? Mike Tyson, I’m going to the top of the tree and he’s a traitor, and I’m going to tell him so in Saudi next week. Next week, he’ll be told,” Fury said in an interview with Mirror Fighting.

John Fury was recently in the corner of his other son, Tommy Fury, who headlined the latest Misfits Boxing event in Manchester against social media sensation KSI. Despite a lackluster performance, the younger Fury emerged victorious, escaping with a majority decision victory.

John Fury fears no man

In the days leading up to Tommy Fury’s bout, John Fury made headlines by picking fights with both KSI and Logan Paul’s father during a post-fight press event. He has every intention of bringing that same energy to Saudi Arabia where he plans to confront Mike Tyson.

“You watch, there will be no backward steps here from this kid,” John Fury added. “Nobody is bullying me and I’m not bullying them. I will stand, look at any man in the eye and say ‘Listen, let’s get it on, if you want to fight me I’m feared of no man.’

“The only thing I’m feared of in my life is God almighty. If you’ve got two arms, two legs, and a head, I’m not frightened of you. Never, I’ve faced men with ammunition today on my own never mind fists and feet. Fighting, I love it. If I get knocked out, I’ll come round with the blessings of God, brush myself down, and jump back on the horse. Then look for another fight down the road that I can win.”

Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou goes down on October 28 on ESPN+ pay-per-view in the United States. Ordering the event at home will set you back a relatively steep $79.99.

John Fury, the father and coach of boxing stars Tyson and Tommy Fury, nearly instigated multiple fights during an appearance at the Misfits Boxing open workouts in Manchester.

The elder Fury, who is known for routinely raging out anytime cameras are near, did exactly that while in town to support Tommy Fury as he heads toward a main event clash with social media star KSI at the AO Arena on Saturday. In a video clip, which you can see below, KSI appears to be leaving over a balcony when a water bottle, thrown by Fury, suddenly flies toward him, KSI quickly dodges the debris and appears to spot over the railing toward where Fury is standing.

John Fury was far from done at that point, turning his attention toward Jake and Logan Paul’s father, Greg Paul. Initially, Paul attempted to laugh off Fury’s taunts, but security was quick to jump in when Fury lunged between two platforms while trying to reach Paul.

It’s far from the first time that John Fury has gone into business for himself while attending events in support of his significantly more talented children. Last month, Fury flipped over tables and destroyed the stage setting while attending a press event for Saturday’s fight card in the U.K. The conference abruptly ended with security staff attempting to quell the fracas.

Kicking off at 2 p.m. ET on DAZN pay-per-view, Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ will be co-headlined by a grudge match between Logan Paul and BJJ specialist Dillon Danis with a bout between undefeated standouts KSI and Tommy Fury closing out the show.

Gearing up for his showdown with Francis Ngannou on October 28, Tyson Fury headed to Phuket, Thailand alongside his father and coach John Fury.

The reigning WBC heavyweight champion is slated for a scrap with the former UFC titleholder in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh. Ahead of their massive crossover contest, ‘The Gypsy King’ took a trip to The Land of Smiles over the summer. While there, Fury was seen partying and taking in a few fight cards at Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium.

Speaking about his experience traveling to Thailand with the heavyweight champ, John Fury appears to have fallen in love with the country known for its sweltering weather and brutal Muay Thai events.

“All the men are warriors over there. All the women are warriors, never mind the men,” John Fury an ambassador for Free Bets said in a LowKick MMA exclusive interview. “They all love fighting, don’t they? The whole place is built on violence, isn’t it? They’re lovely people to speak to. We enjoyed it there. It was fabulous. We got received very well, but you can see the only thing that the people have got on their mind is fighting and gambling. Gambling and fighting, what a combination!”.

“I enjoyed Thailand. It was an eye-opener for me. The weather was very hot over there. It’s a totally different way of life than the one we live here. They’re a lot tougher race. I went to a few of the Thai boxing events and my god, it was brutal. Big guys made of titanium just getting the p*ss and sh*t knocked out of each other. It was an unbelievable experience for me to watch it. To be honest with you, I felt like a p*ssy out there”.

Both of John Fury’s Boys Will Be in Action This Month

John Fury will be a very busy man this month as both of his sons will be in action. First, undefeated standout Tommy Fury will return to the squared circle for a matchup with social media star KSI as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ on October 14 in Manchester. Two weeks later, ‘The Gypsy King’ will meet Francis Ngannou in a heavyweight showdown in the Middle East before reportedly returning to the country two months later for a long-awaited title unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk.

John Fury doesn’t see social media star KSI giving his son, undefeated British standout Tommy Fury, any trouble when the two step inside the boxing ring for a main event clash on October 14.

Emanating from Manchester, England, Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ will feature a showdown between two undefeated pugilists as KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, returns to the squared circle for a meeting with undefeated scrapper Tommy Fury. Looking for his 10th-straight victory, Fury goes into the bout fresh off his split decision victory over Jake Paul in February.

With fight night looming, Tommy Fury’s father and coach, John Fury who is sponsored by Free Bets joined Murdo Todd for a LowKick MMA exclusive interview to discuss the impending matchup.

“I know how good Tommy is and KSI is going to find out how good Tommy is on the night,” Fury said. “I’m not gonna shout, and scream, and jump up and down because I’ve done all that, but the time for talking is over. Action speaks louder than words. We’ve said this, we’ve said that. He’s been saying plenty. Let’s see if he can back it up on the night. I hope he can” .

John Fury Disputes the Notion that KSI Has Boxing Skills

Asked for his opinion on KSI’s skills in the boxing ring, John Fury instead questioned whether or not the PRIME Energy guru had any skills to assess.

“What skills? He’s only been boxing for two minutes,” Fury responded. “He’s probably got internet skills.”

KSI is currently undefeated in boxing with his most notable victory coming against Jake Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul, who will also feature on the Misfits Boxing card. Since then, KSI has bested a number of aspiring hip-hop artists and social media stars such as Swarmz and FaZe Temperrr.

Tommy Fury will represent the first time KSI has stepped inside the ring with a legitimate boxer.

Exclusive: John Fury wants to see Tyson Fury and Jon Jones ‘Beat the hell out of each other’ in potential fight

John Fury, the father of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and undefeated British standout Tommy Fury, hopes to see the former lock up with UFC star Jon Jones in an all-out war someday.

On October 28, Tyson Fury returns to the ring for a showdown with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh. The matchup was announced on the heel of a budding rivalry between Tyson Fury and Jon Jones, who had gone back and forth on social media in response to longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan suggesting that ‘Bones’ would mop the floor with the superstar pugilist should the two ever find themselves locked in a room together.

Before signing on the dotted line for a fight with Ngannou, Tyson Fury revealed that the UFC had made an offer to book a hybrid-rules fight between himself and Jones. Of course, ‘The Gypsy King’ went a different route, choosing to welcome Ngannou to the squared circle, but Fury has every intention of revisiting his rivalry with Jon Jones in the future.

Speaking about a potential clash between the two fighters, John Fury suggested that, whether it be in the cage or the ring, both men should come out determined to take one another’s head off.

“I don’t want to see him fight Jon Jones in an exhibition. Let them two men beat the hell out of each other, John Fury said in a LowKick MMA exclusive interview. “Let’s just see what that can bring to the table. Let Jon Jones do his thing. Let Tyson do his thing. Let Tyson get his training. Let Jon Jones get his training and let them two men rip each other to bits and the last man standing to put his hands in the air and say, ‘This is it.‘”

Tyson Fury has already shown an interest in doing some cross-promotional work, though those plans could be delayed with the recent announcement that ‘The Gyspy King’ will finally face Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight title unification bout less than two months after his fight with Francis Ngannou. Per a report from ESPN, the contract contains a two-way rematch clause that the loser of the matchup can trigger for a return bout.

That means Fury and Usky’s hitches could be tied together for some time, even after their winter-time tussle is in the books.

John Fury warns KSI against planned slap attack on him after October fight: ‘He’d have a very nasty dental bill’

John Fury warns KSI slapping him he'd have nasty dental bill Boxing

Veteran coach, John Fury, the father of WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury and emerging boxing talent, Tommy Fury – has warned the latter’s upcoming foe, KSI away from a planned slap attack on him ahead of his October boxing return, warning him that he’ll face an expensive trip to the dentist if he follows through.

Fury, an iconic figure in professional boxing, wreaked havoc at a pre-fight press conference earlier this month between KSI, Tommy Fury, Logan Paul, and outspoken grappler, Dillon Danis – slamming a table and turning it over in a loss of temper during the press event. 

The latest stunt came in a long list of infamous moments from the heralded Fury, who also took off his top in the ring following his son’s victory in Saudi Arabia last year – goading eventual opponent, Jake Paul who sat ringside at the event.

John Fury issues stark warning to KSI ahead of October fight 

Issuing a warning to KSI ahead of the former’s boxing return against his son, Tommy Fury next month in England, John Fury has claimed the professional boxer, YouTube star, and R&B artist will have a trip to the dentist on his hands, if he tries to slap him as planned following the event.

“He’s (KSI) never going to get to slap my titties,” John Fury said. “I’ve been doing plenty of bench presses recently, anyway. Look, he’d have a very nasty dentist bill if he does. Because he wouldn’t have had tooth in his cupboard because it’d been knocked straight to the back of his throat. Nobody can buck around on me, on one, unless they’re paying a lot of money.”

“And I know more about fighting and violence than him,” John Fury explained. “I’d probably just pick him up, fire him into the crowd like a paper aeroplane. I’d pick him up in the end, fire him up in the air like a paper aeroplane because one of my arms is bigger than KSI.”

“But listen, the kid ain’t gonna do that,” John Fury explained. “The kid’s not stupid. They’re not stupid people. Like, I’m not stupid. Things do get out of hand. But that takes two to tango. Always remember that. If they want a problem, it’s because they’re inciting it too. And if I think they’re inciting something, I’m gonna meet them head on with in. In my age and my experience, they don’t 100% want it. I can see in their eyes whether they want it or not. That’s okay by me. I won’t push it. But if they want it, they can have it. No one wants a problem in this life. Always remember that. No one wants it. But if they have to have it, they’ll have it.”

“I was born a man, I’ll die a man,” John Fury continued. “Nobody can put his hands on John Fury and expect to get away unscathed. You bring it and you touch me, you’re in trouble.” (Credit to Freebets.com)
