Tommy Fury has slammed KSI for the chaotic scenes that erupted during Wednesday’s open workout and branded him ‘classless’ for spitting in the direction of father John Fury.
Tensions threatened to boil over when Fury Snr hurled a bottle in the direction of the YouTuber, who was berating his upcoming opponent from a balcony above, and KSI responded by spitting down towards the 59-year-old and other members of the Fury entourage.
Tommy missed the spit at the time but has now hit out at KSI and believes his behaviour is a sign that he is getting rattled ahead of Saturday’s bout.
Asked about the incident between his father and KSI, Tommy told Furocity: ‘I mean, yeah, I’ve seen it for myself now.
‘You know what surprises me, these YouTubers they’ve got loads and loads of kids that look up to them and admire them, they’re the perfect role models and whatever.
‘Yet you’ve got KSI spitting over a balcony at a man who’s twice his age, his elder. Now you should respect your elders, have less to say.
‘But I don’t understand [why people look up to him]. It shows where the world is going when kids are looking up to people like that. Spitting over a balcony.’

‘Honestly, if he’d have spat on my dad right, and that had landed on his forehead, I’m telling you now everyone would have been going down until my dad got to KSI.
‘There would have been no-one to stop him. He’d have hit everybody in his path, I’m telling you now.
‘That would have been awful. But at the end of the day, it’s just scruffy isn’t it? There’s no class, no professionalism. It’s just scruffy, it’s just a scruffy thing to do.

‘But that shows where his mental state is. He’s mentally gone. I think I’ve really got into his head because most of his opponents – well, all of his opponents – they go back and forth with him, they play his games, they’re in that little war.
‘But I tell you what, silence is golden – and that’s all he’s had out of me for the whole camp: silence. And it’s confused him. He can’t get my name out of his mouth, he keeps on talking and talking.
‘But now I’ve not played to his game and his arse his going like this [twitching] now and he’s acting like that because he’s only got three days and he’s in for it.’
