    And he was critical of John’s involvement in Tommy’s training camp just as Tyson burst through the door.
    The heavyweight champion faked a punch to Paul before the two embraced and even posed for a picture.
    But Tommy slammed the YouTuber-turned boxer for switching up so quickly and not standing his ground.
    He told Queensberry Promotions: “I’ve seen it, it’s all the makings of a s***house.

    “He was talking s*** about my dad, saying he didn’t know anything about boxing, he didn’t know how to train fighters and what not.
    “But then Tyson walked in the room all of a sudden and he’s up his a*** a hundred miles. You can just tell a fighter when you see one.
    “A legitimate fighter would say what he’s saying and it doesn’t matter who walks in the room, they’d still stand by it. ‘Yeah, that’s what I think.’
    “But for him, Tyson walked in the room and he crumbled, s*** himself. So that’s the measure of the man I’m dealing with.”

    Paul, 26, jetted in from Dubai where he had been training to face off with Fury, 23, at Wembley Arena.
    And he fumed further when his rival no-showed their kick-off press conference in Saudi Arabia.
    But Fury – who twice pulled out of the bout due to injury and visa issues – insisted he is the more focused fighter at hand.
    He said: “This man is a fruit loop, you see him all the time on the internet, YouTubers doing odd things, this is just him and he’s taken a liking to boxing.
    “He’s thought he’ll have a go at it and that’s it. You’ve got one man playing at it and one man that’s training like a trojan. I sleep, eat, train and repeat.
    “I’m not flying about on no private jet emptying my tank. I go to the gym, eat my food and I go to bed.
    “I’m not playing at this game, it’s very serious to me. But again, it’s just business, this man is another opponent, it’s all he is to me.
    “He’s like another journeyman, not interested. He’s just another step along the way in my career, that’s it.”
