“I’ll have a rattle with anybody. It doesn’t matter if it’s win, lose or draw to me. I’ve had a lot of hiding and I’ll give a lot of hidings.

“Let’s talk about how Tyson handled himself today. A gentleman. Other people can cause problems.

“Listen, I don’t see any reason for bad behaviour. You don’t need to grab anybody by the throat.

“If the big fellow [Dean Whyte] has a problem with me, he can say, ‘Do you want to go out to the car park, just me and you. Let’s go out to the car park.’

“We don’t need an audience. We’ll go at it.”

In response, Dean said: “If John Fury wants, he can fight my dad and my dad’s older than him.

“He can have a bare-knuckle fight with my dad. If he wants it now, I’ll set it up and my dad will bash him in, smash him to bits.

“Let’s see if he’s gonna man up and accept the challenge.”
