Another said: “Put him in there with Mike Tyson.”
John will be in Tommy’s corner for his clash with KSI and fully expects his son to do a number on the social media sensation.
He told LowKick MMA: “I know how good Tommy is and KSI is going to find out how good Tommy is on the night.
“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.”
