In the world of influencer boxing, it’s always good to expect the unexpected.
At Thursday’s pre-fight news conference for Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card, there were plenty of out-of-left-field moments. Among them was a faceoff between KSI and Tommy Fury, that was far from run-of-the-mill.
KSI and Fury came face-to-face – sort of. A thick layer of plexiglass was between them while they stood in a small cage. The two boxers yapped at one another until Fury’s father, John Fury, entered the cage and attempted to smash the glass with punches and shoulders. Security restrained John Fury and he was removed from the cage.

Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card takes place Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, England, with the main card on DAZN pay-per-view. The six-round match between KSI and Fury sits atop the card, which also features Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis.
Paul and Danis also took part in the news conference just before KSI and Fury took the stage. That segment concluded with an on-stage brawl.
