Tyson Fury angrily argued with "t*****" interviewer True Geordie after the YouTube star intensively questioned his trilogy fight with Derek Chisora.
Fury looked set to face rival Anthony Joshua in his ring return later this year but after his British rival missed his self-imposed deadline to sign the contract, the 'Gypsy King' will now face Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He has already beaten Chisora in 2011 and 2014 with the latter ending with Chisora retiring on the stool after the 10th round.
As a result fans have expressed criticism of the fight on social media, turning in particular on the champion who avidly defended the selection of the opponent with promoter Frank Warren based on the current rankings. During a recent interview for YouTube, True Geordie - real name Brian Davis - persistently questioned Fury on the subject while expressing his opinion that Chisora should not have received the call.
With just under half of the time gone in their allotted interview slot, Davis said: "Is this about the payday for Chisora and is this sorting you out an old mate a little bit?" Fury responded: “No matter what you say, or what people like you want to say about Derek Chisora, he’s achieved more in boxing and in fighting than ten men like you could ever achieve.
"So I’m not going to just let you sit here and slate somebody who’s fought the best fighters of this era just because he’s lost a few fights. It is what it is. I’ll be fighting Chisora and if you don’t want to watch it then please don’t, and it you do, tune in. And if you don’t want to buy a ticket, don’t buy a ticket.
"And if you do, be like the rest of the 50 odd, 60 odd thousand that’s already bought tickets. I can’t let you, who’s probably never had a fight in your life, run Chisora down who’s fought everybody. I cannot let that happen.”

Davis continued: "I think people are interested in you because you are great and I don't dispute that. I didn't say he can't fight though, what I am saying is with his record right now he shouldn't be getting a world title fight. There is a potential for people to get badly hurt if they are mismatched and I think he is mismatched. Big thanks for taking the interview Tyson, I understand where you are coming from. All respect."
Fury then angrily responded: "I think you’re a t*****. You little t***pot. And I won’t be doing anymore interviews with you little t***pot, bearded, bald-headed t***er. Kiss my balls, you little w*****. You little s***house. Suck a d***." Fury then attempted to storm off but struggled to end the call, with True Geordie mocking his efforts.
