PIERS MORGAN’S son Bertie has admitted having friends over to watch the Tyson Fury – Deontay Wilder rematch on Saturday night… and watching the first fight back instead by accident.
The first-year university student’s big brother Spencer dug him out on Twitter, by revealing to his 34.6k followers what had happened.

Piers dug out his son Twitter
Bertie offered a feeble response on Twitter
He tweeted: “So my brother @Bertie_Morgan11 had friends round for the fight last night after a few drinks… they watched all of Fury vs Wilder 1 and didn’t realise”.
Dad Piers then quoted the tweet with the see-no-evil monkey emoji, weighing in on the mocking of his son.
The first Fury – Wilder fight famously finished in a controversial draw at the Staples Center in LA after Fury miraculously survived a 12th round knockdown, having dominated much of the fight up to that point.
Unbeknown to the younger Morgan, meanwhile, Fury was dominating Wilder in Las Vegas.
The Gypsy King knocked out the Bronze Bomber in the seventh round to grab his WBC heavyweight title.
Many of Piers’ followers believed it was his fault.
One wrote: “I blame the parents..”, with others echoing the sentiment.
While someone joked: “Cut the inheritance”.
And another added: Like father like Son!”
One user cruelly replied: “Serves him right for being called Bertie.”
While another jokingly accused Spencer of “sibling shaming”.
Fury’s fellow Brit Anthony Joshua will fight Kubrat Pulev in the summer, so Bertie Morgan may be able to attend in person this time instead, in order to ensure that he doesn’t make another boneheaded mistake.
The only problem for the Arsenal fan, however, is that the fight will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
