Tyson Fury’s dad John Fury has aimed shots at bodybuilder and actor Micky Theo. John Fury is renowned for his menacing rants and antics and has crowned himself as the “best 50 odd-year-old man in the world”.

The feud originated when Fury reacted angrily to Dana White’s comments where he said “The Gypsy King” would struggle in the octagon. Fury claimed he could smash the UFC president with one punch before pointing out he was the toughest 54-year-old.

 “I’m 56 years of age and I believe I’m fitter than you, John. I believe I could beat you in a proper boxing match.” Said Theo in response to Joh Fury’s comments.

“You’ve mentioned my name, you’ve gotta fight now. I don’t need training camps, I don’t need time to get fit. I am 24-hour training. I’ll fight you gypsy style because fighting’s too hard, mate, to do for free. Let’s fight for a few quid. I know the NHS thing, I know all that. God bless them, they’re doing a good job trying to help everyone who’s dying. But you’re trying to make a name for yourself from somebody’s famous father. It’ll be the last thing you ever do, mate because you know them false teeth? I’ll knock them straight through the back of your head, my friend. So don’t you worry about that, you’ve got a fight. Good day to you and God bless you as well.” Said Fury
