Tyson Fury's father, John, has responded to a 'bodybuilder' who challenged him to a boxing match.
In a video posted on iFL TV, the 55-year-old, known by many as 'big' John Fury, did not mention his opponent by name but it appears his rant was aimed towards Micky Theo, a former British bodybuilding champion.
Theo began the exchange by responding to Fury's claim of being the 'toughest 54-year-old in the world' - a quote from John's call out to UFC president Dana White, where he said he could "smash him with one punch" in a fight.

"I believe I am fitter than you, John." says Theo in the clip. "I believe I could beat you in a proper boxing match."
Theo also mentions all the proceeds of a potential boxing match going towards NHS charities. Check out his video below.
It didn't take Fury long to respond and clearly agitated by Theo's call-out, the 55-year-old gave a powerful response.

"Just replying to a video I've just seen there. A bodybuilder wants to fight me." Fury says.
"That ain't no problem mate, don't know you, don't wanna know you but let me tell you something mate, you're messing with John Fury here mate and I am the best 50-odd-year-old man in the world.
"And I will stand on what I say mate.
"I'll either fight you in the ring, which you can forget about that one pal, I've fought world class men in my time.

"Let me tell you this my old mate, I will fight you gypsy style, don't you worry about that. I have never, ever denied a challenge in my life my friend. You've mentioned my name, you've gotta fight now.
"I'm all over London with the boxing. Make youself known mate and you can have it there and then, on the spur of the moment pal."
Fury went on to claim that he is "doesn't need training camps" and is "24 hours ready" for a fight with Theo.

"I will fight you, get hold of my agent Spencer Brown in Blackpool who'll sort it all out." he continued.
"I'll fight you anywhere you want in the UK my friend, anywhere at all. And you'll wish you never mentioned my name.
"Spencer Brown will be contacting your people, everybody knows me. I fear no man, let alone you. And pal, I've seen your sparring, you're no good to me my mate.
"But listen I'll fight you gypsy style because fighting's too hard mate to do for free.
Fury ended the response video by saying Theo was "trying to make a name" for himself.

"Let's fight for a few quid. I know the NHS thing, God bless them they're doing a good job trying to help everyone who's dying.
"But you're trying to make a name for yourself from somebody's famous father. It'll be the last thing you ever do mate because you know them false teeth? I'll knock them straight through the back of your head my friend.
"So don't you worry about that, you've gotta fight. Good day to you and God bless you as well."
