Tommy Fury slams KSI for spitting at his father John Fury in ugly open workout incident

Tommy Fury has questioned why KSI is looked up to as a role model after he spat at John Fury during an open workout in Manchester.

KSI and Fury are set to go head-to-head at the AO Arena on Saturday in a six-round bout, with millions around the world expected to tune in.

On Wednesday, while Tommy was away conducting interviews with various outlets, JJ and his team were involved in an altercation with John Fury after an open training session.

The 30-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer was filmed spitting at Fury, before the latter attempted to break away and confront the social media star shortly after.

The pair have continued to go back and forth ever since the announcement of their fight was confirmed back in June this year.

Tommy Fury has seemingly kept himself to himself in the build-up but insisted KSI's actions do not set a great example to the millions that tune in to watch him every week.

The former Love Island star told Furocity: "These YouTubers have got loads of kids that look up to them, admire them, and think they're role models. Yet you've got KSI spitting at a man who's twice his age.

''You should respect your elders, but it shows how the world's going when kids are looking up to people like that, spitting over a balcony."

"If that had landed on his forehead, everyone would have been going down until my dad got to KSI, no-one could stop him, he'd had hit everyone in his path, that would have been awful. He has no class, no professionalism, it's a scruffy thing to do.

"That shows what his mental state is, he's mentally gone. I think I've really got into his head because most of his opponents go back and forth and play to his games but silence is golden and that's all he's had out of me all camp, and it's confused him.

''He can't get my name out of his mouth, he keeps talking but I haven't played to his game and his a*** is going. He's only got three days and he's in for it."
