TOMMY FURY’S father John Fury threatened to cancel his son’s boxing clash with KSI due to a heated argument regarding the weigh in.
Boxers usually take part in an official weigh-in behind closed doors before stepping on stage in front of all the media and fans.
This is usually far smoother than all the drama that often ensues when the two fighters step on the scales while the whole world watches.
But that wasn’t the case when Tommy and KSI went to register their official weight before the Misfits fight backstage.
A video from Misfits Boxing YouTube channel showed John lashing out as he disagreed with the YouTuber’s entourage that wanted to place the scales on a carpet.
Tommy‘s dad threatened to cancel the fight with an expletive rant unless the weigh-in was moved to a room with a hard floor, such as a toilet.
John fumed: “They’re f*****g s***e.
“You can’t weigh on that f*****gthing, it’s on the carpet. What the f**k is going on here?
“Listen pal, I’m not trying to shout, I’m just telling you. We’ll call the thing off then.
We’ll call the f*****g thing off then. F**k him. We’ll call the f*****g thing off then.”

“Weigh on a hard a surface, not a carpet. It’s b******t. You’re in the b*****t sport in the world, mate. Forget it.”
Tommy is also heard in the background saying: “Come on, a hard surface. You know that.”
John’s protests paid off as his son was ultimately weighed in the bathroom.
Both KSI and the former Love Island star made weight for the fight at 181.3lbs and 182.6lbs respectively.
They are now set to lock horns tonight at the AO Arena in Manchester.
