    Fury vowed to ‘do some good before I die’ with the cash
    The father of Tyson Fury agreed with KSI on a wager before the celebrity grudge match between Tommy and the YouTuber.
    Tommy came out the winner last month with a narrow points victory, with a fuming KSI taking to Instagram after the bout to say he had been “robbed”.
    The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star has since hired a lawyer to appeal his first-ever boxing loss.
    But John seems certain about the outcome and n a video posted on his Instagram account, he said: “Mr KSI. Still no payment. What kind of a person are you, my friend?

    “You’re looking like a fraudster, a fake and a waste of time…That money is not for me. I don’t want your money.
    “I am going to donate it to the Cancer Research at Christie Hospital in Manchester, all 200,000 of it.
    “That’s why I am not leaving it cause I want to do some good in this country before I die.”
    And as of yet, KSI has not responded to John’s demands to be paid for the bet.

    John played an extremely active role in the promotion of the fight and was frequently in altercations with his son’s rival.
    He was seen trying to smash down a glass cage that separated Tommy from KSI as he attempted to scrap with Tommy’s opponent as the two faced off.
    John also threw a bottle at KSI earlier in the build-up which prompted KSI to spit back at him.
    While the fight between Tommy and KSI may be long gone, it seems that a feud between John and KSI still goes on. More
