John Fury responds to Joe Egan fight offer by demanding £200,000 from KSI
Tyson Fury's dad John has agreed to fight bitter rival Joe Egan only if KSI pays him £200,000 that he claims he is owed.
The dad of heavyweight champion Tyson has been repeatedly called out for a fight in recent weeks by Egan, who was once a sparring partner of Mike Tyson. Egan only had four professional bouts going 3-1 during that run but was once hailed as "the toughest white man on the planet" by 'Iron Mike'.
Fury has refused to pay attention to most of Egan's callouts in recent weeks but he finally responded in a Twitter video by agreeing to fight him, but only if KSI pays him £200,000. The demand stems from a bet that John and KSI agreed on before the YouTuber's fight against Tommy Fury last October. John bet that Tommy would win by stoppage, although he was taken the distance by KSI.

"Ok Joe Egan, here is where it’s at. You’re saying KSI is backing you for millions of pounds when they can’t pay me the £200,000 that they owe me.

"Tell that rat next to you, that pineapple, wire me my money across that he owes me and once it’s in my account we might be able to do some business," John said.
"What he needs to do then is put an offer in writing to me, what he is prepared to pay me to fight you. Being disrespectful, you’re going to have to fight me anyway when you see me.
"Let’s hope you can so you can get a few quid out of it, because when I see you it’s coats off. Here’s what you've got to do, wire me my £200,000 but if you don’t do that forget about it, because I wouldn’t even p*** on the both of you."
Egan has claimed that KSI's Misfits Boxing promotion is prepared to stage a fight between him and John, who recently called out former world champion Carl Froch for a fight. John was unhappy with comments made about his son Tyson and Egan has slammed the 59-year-old for 'swerving him'.
"John Fury, why are you avoiding me? Saying there is no money in fighting me, I’ve stepped up to the mark John. You’re throwing out challenges to Mike Tyson and Carl Froch, who are you going to challenge next? Step up to the challenge in front of you, don't swerve me John because I'm ready to fight," Egan said.
