THIS is the never-seen-before footage of John Fury snapping when quizzed about his son Tommy’s double-or-nothing bet with Jake Paul.
TNT, 23, claimed a split decision victory over the Problem Child in Saudi Arabia on Sunday after years of bad blood despite being knocked down in the final round.
Fury celebrated wildly in the ring after two judges scored it 76-73 in his favour with the other favouring Paul 75-74.
He then broke down in tears and declared he would accept a rematch if Paul wanted it before the American reeled out a number of excuses for his loss.
Fury secured a £4m purse for the blockbuster showdown in the Middle East.
But he could have walked away with £8m had he taken up Paul’s offer during the week.

Paul rocked up with a contract for Fury to sign after they had previously shaken on a double-or-nothing bet that would either see the Brit take home £8m or be left empty-handed.
However, Fury ultimately refused to put pen to paper as he held on to his agreed £4m payday.
And after the bout had finished, his father John lost his cool when quizzed about it.
In footage shared by Bet R Combat, a reporter asks John: “The world wants to know about the deal that was proposed.”

With Logan Paul, Jake’s brother, stood up pulling faces behind him, John says: “Let’s talk about boxing, that’s what we are here to talk about.”
The journalist replied: “It certainly is a deal about boxing.”
Only for John to retort: “I’m concentrating.”
The footage then skips a few moments to where John is about to leave his media duties, only for him to be asked about the deal again.
This time he angrily blasts: “Why don’t you shut up. Little video boy.
“Just shut up video boy, little nobody.”
At that point an individual steps between John and the camera and says: “I’m his manager, so go away.”
Then Logan jumps back into shot to say: “I’m curious to, I’m curious to.”
