Tommy Fury and KSI's boxing battle has some added spice after the former's dad, John, was recorded throwing a bottle at the online personality.
Footage shows YouTuber KSI hanging over a balcony while Fury Sr. can be heard shouting at his son's impending opponent. However, things take a nastier turn when a bottle flies in from out of the shot, thudding against the glass on which KSI is leaning.
It's just as well the internet sensation had a barrier between him and the Furys as father John performed his best Conor McGregor impression. Except this rivalry perhaps doesn't have quite the same venom as 'The Notorious' and Nate Diaz once did.

The incident occurred after KSI and Fury participated in an open workout on Wednesday to promote their fight at the Manchester Arena on Saturday. 'TNT' is looking to back up his decision victory over one of KSI's major nemeses, Jake Paul, by adding another influencer to his list of victims on home soil.
Like Tommy, KSI remains undefeated in the ring and brings a 4-0 record into the clash, with one no-contest after his win against Joe Fournier was struck off due to an elbow. Fury is 9-0 as a professional fighter and is due to fight on British soil for the first time since April 2022.
Who will win Saturday's scrap between KSI and Tommy Fury? Let us know in the comments section below.
After dodging behind the guardrail, KSI lunged over the balcony to fire back at Fury with some stern words of his own. The online star was then held back by security as he appeared to goad his opponent's dad in aggressive fashion.
It's not the first time John Fury has overstepped the mark and got too involved in his son's affairs during the build-up to Saturday's Misfits card. The initial announcement press conference for this fight had to be stopped early after he ended a tirade by flipping the conference table off a stage.
The time for talking is almost over as KSI and Tommy Fury will bury their rivarly once and for all as they face off in Manchester on Saturday, October 14th. Logan Paul will also be fighting at the event in front of what is expected to be a sell-out crowd.

Saturday's card will also feature another headline bout between the elder Paul sibling, Logan, and former Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion Dillon Danis. That fixture is in no need of additional spice given Paul's fiancee, Nina Agdal, is suing Danis for harassment after he relentlessly posted pictures of her socialising with other men.
A Fury fight week wouldn't be complete without fraternal figure John wading into the discourse with an outrageous moment or two. And the stage is finally set for the fight Gen Zers across the globe have been waiting for.
