Watch: Mike Tyson and John Fury Steal the Show as They Go Back-and-Forth at Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Final Press Conference

Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, is set to face former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a non-title exhibition match this Saturday. However, in their press conference, Mike Tyson and John Fury stole the show.

Before their 10-round boxing match, the pre-fight press conference took an unexpected turn, with Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, and legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson stealing the spotlight.

John praised his son as the top heavyweight, despite tensions with Tyson, who is coaching Ngannou. When Mike jokingly declared 'The Predator' as the winner of the fight, John got upset and quickly got up from his seat, heading toward Ngannou's side of the room, shouting, "You want to fight me?"

John challenged Mike Tyson to a fight if his son lost to Ngannou, "Mike Tyson, the man I named my son after. But you know what? Give me a special mention. The man who bred him. John Fury. Fears no man. Fears no man on Earth. No matter what they’ve done, no matter what accolades."

Fury continued, "Here I am! Any man alive want to fight John Fury! I’m ready to go! Tyson, what have you got to say to that? The world is going is going to see what’s going to happen to your man."

"Whatever the outcome, me and you will fight!"

Tyson laughed off the comments and kept emphasizing that Ngannou would be the future heavyweight champion, even though Tyson Fury's WBC title wasn't at stake. The fight's winner will be awarded a special "Riyadh Season" belt created for the event in Saudi Arabia.
