KSI and Logan Paul give opposing views on John Fury after press conference drama

YouTube boxer KSI labelled John Fury as a "psycho" for kicking off at his press conference but Logan Paul thinks he is "great".

KSI and Paul were both in attendance at a launch press conference in London on Tuesday ahead of their respective fights against Tommy Fury and Dillon Danis. The event was over a lot sooner than expected a scuffle broke out when John kicked off as tables and chairs flew across the stage.

Paul's opponent Danis was taken out of the arena but KSI and Tommy were able to have a staredown, but security was forced to intervene yet again. After the wild press conference, KSI said of John's actions "Psycho" whilst Logan replied: "I think he's great." KSI then added: "I mean, he definitely brought the party."

"John Fury is a maniac, he's a maniac," Logan added. "He just brought it, I didn't see that coming. All of the tables!" KSI laughed: "Yeah, he was like mine first, this one and yours mate." Paul ended up facing off with back-up fighter Mike Perry, a decision that Danis was furious with as he called for a staredown with Paul in the street.

Tommy admitted that he knew his dad was going to cause a scene, stating: "My dad had a red wine in the hotel so I knew it was going to be carnage, it was everything that was needed. It's not proper boxing is it, things were getting said up there that were very serious insults but we're professionals. If they want showbiz though, they can get it with us. It's all fun and games, hyping up the fight so I enjoyed it."

KSI faces a big step up in competition as he looks to end the unbeaten run of Fury, who handed Logan's brother Jake his professional defeat back in February. The pair meet over six rounds at a catchweight of 183lb and Fury is uber-confident going into the fight as he thinks Paul is miles better than KSI.

"I don't think KSI can tie Jake Paul's boots up to be honest. I've seen him there up close and personal, he's nothing but a middleweight. When someone can't box very well, they box like KSI. They do erratic stuff because they don't know what they're actually doing. I'm one million per cent certain that I'll beat KSI, there is no doubt in my mind. I've beaten tougher men than him already," he added.
