SECURITY restrained John Fury after Tyson and Tommy’s dad tried to square up with Anthony Taylor last night.
Tempers flared as the fighters appeared at a press conference in London.
The younger Fury brother, 23, is set to face Paul Bamba on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s bout with Deji.
Also on the card is Taylor, a former opponent of 8-0 Tommy.
MMA fighter Taylor, who is set to fight Love Island’s Jack Fincham, stood up during the press conference to heckle Fury – claiming he should be getting a rematch.
He bellowed that their fight would be the “real main event” – although John Fury quickly grew sick of the interruption.

John shouted in Taylor’s direction, and was prevented from getting closer by security.
Both men removed their jackets as things got heated on stage.
Taylor, 33, is a team-mate of Fury’s rival Jake Paul.
Since losing to Tommy via unanimous decision in August 2021 he has gone 3-2 in the ring – most recently beating Ashley Tebi last month.

As Taylor howled and cried “I’m the real pretty boy” – John turned in disgust and wagged his finger.
When Deji arrived, he admitted that he is just hoping to land a single blow on Mayweather.
He said: “I’m looking to land a punch, that would be amazing of course against the best defensive fighter in the world.
“So, I’m looking to have fun, I’m looking to showcase my skills and show what YouTubers can do.
“Me being in there with Floyd is only going to enhance my skills in boxing and push me further up the ladder.”
