There was mild drama during the pre-match presser for the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight slated for Saturday, October 28.

John Fury made an attempt to fight the legendary Mike Tyson during a chaotic press conference in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.

The build-up to the blockbuster episode got heated between John Fury and Mike Tyson, who is training Francis Ngannou ahead of his first professional boxing debut.

While things went well between Fury and Ngannou, the story was different between WBC champion’s dad and Iron Mike.

SPORTbible reports that the 59-year-old repeatedly called out Tyson for a fight throughout the press conference, a challenge which Tyson eventually 'agreed' to after much prompting.

Mike Tyson had joked, announcing Ngannou as the winner of the bout, but John was unimpressed with the comments.

He stood from his seat, repeatedly shouting: "You wanna fight me?"

But he was stopped by security, who guided him back to his seat.
