    The larger than life duo appeared on the Today show  – their only breakfast TV appearance in the country.
    Over a thousand fans gathered outside the studio hoping to catch a glimpse of the YouTube icons.
    And at one point in the broadcast, their wish was granted as the Today anchors interviewed Paul and KSI on a balcony overlooking the crowd.
    KSI took a megaphone and proceeded to lead the famous X-rated Arsenal chant of, “What do we think of Tottenham?”.

    The crowd followed along and answered the Brit’s question, calling Spurs “s***”.
    Prime is also sold at Arsenal’s home, the Emirates, enhancing KSI and Paul’s rivalry with fellow North Londoners Spurs.
    Things turned nasty, though, as Today show host Karl Stefanovic was pelted with an egg on the balcony.
    And despite police and extra security being called in to help control the crowd, things got out of control.

    “A broke rib and everything else that was wrong with the first fight. The second fight, denied entry into the US.
    “Third fight, here we are. Three times is a charm and we’re seeing that. We’re two weeks out.

    “I’m ripped, I’m ready, I’m fit, I’m strong and I’ve got more in the tank than what it takes to beat Jake Paul. Don’t worry about that.”

    Paul and Fury, 26 and 23 respectively, were due to face off in a press conference on Wednesday but the latter didn’t show up.

    During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Platinum said: “They’ve got to kick Tommy Fury, and they’ve got to do it now.
    “They cannot wait until the last minute. They cannot wait until the weigh-ins. They can’t let Fury keep calling all the shots.

    “What he did to them is [irredeemable]. But nope, he gets another $2million, and he gets to go to an even nicer location. It’s really weird.
    “But at some point, they have to take control if they want to be respected, and it’s a hard thing that MVP’s [Most Valuable Promotions] had. MVP is new and boy have they had to pay for an education.
    “They’ve gotten a rougher go of anyone else ever, but at some point they have to make it clear that they are in charge.
    “And today when he skipped the press conference, his second time, you cut him, you bring Perry in, and that is it.

    “That’s when you bring in Mike Perry, to try and bring it in after.
    “They’re in a little bit more difficult spot. But they had to see that coming. He’s already done it to them once.
    “They had to see, ‘Hey, there’s a slight possibility that when we get here he’s not here.’
    “Somewhere he missed his flight, somewhere he didn’t check into the hotel room.
    “They should have had a word and had enough time to scramble, and had Mike Perry there. They should have moved on with it.”
    Paul was seething with Fury’s no-show but was hardly surprised he skipped the presser.
    He said: “I’m used to his behaviour at this point, he’s unprofessional and he’s a flake.
