Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s press conference on Monday turned ugly as they had to be separated by security.
The pair were at the BT Sports studios in London to promote their upcoming WBC heavyweight title fight.
Wilder will be putting his WBC belt on the line against Fury on December 1 at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.
It all began friendly enough before Fury got out of his seat and demanded Wilder joined him for a “body spar”.
Wilder duly got up and shoved Fury when he stepped towards him, leading promoter Frank Warren to step in before security ran on to the stage to keep the fighters apart.
Fury responded to the push by declaring “my wife pushes harder than that you little b****” and continued to goad the American, describing him as a “big s***house” and a “bottle job.”

The Briton ranted: “I’m savouring nothing, the only thing I’m savouring is smashing Deontay Wilder’s teeth in. All the press have turned up, they are here to see the biggest fight of our generation between two undefeated giants, and you are in for a real treat, because I am in the mood for no messing around or dancing in the ring.
“I will stand and prove what I will do to this idiot, I will stand and punch his face right in. If we fought 30 times, I would win 30 times.
‘‘The thing is Bronze Bomber, you big dosser, you’re not ready for me, you never have been. All your knockout power can’t beat Tyson Fury. You are going to f*** yourself.
“If I can’t beat you, I’ll kiss your two feet on the floor.”
The duo had a earlier been respectful to each other during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, with Wilder instead using his time to blast the man widely regarded as the number one heavyweight in the division, Anthony Joshua.
