John Fury has never been afraid to mince his words

Tyson Fury's father, John, has taken aim at KSI and insisted he's not interested in son Tommy fighting the YouTuber again.

Tommy Fury beat the 30-year-old back in October, coming out on top via majority decision after an entertaining fight in Manchester.


There has been talk of a rematch in the time since, with KSI feeling he didn't deserve to lose their initial bout.

But John has now said he has no intention to negotiate a fight between the two men - with the 59-year-old also suggesting KSI has behaved like 'scum of the earth'.

The YouTuber spat at John in the build-up to his fight with Tommy three months ago.

Fury told the Daily Mail, per Free Bets: "We're not interested in KSI. Not for a trillion dollars.

"Unless he comes up with an apology and decides to be a man, we want no part of it.

"He lost to Tommy on his own show. I know he's aged about 10 or 15 years because of it.

"People like him, their egos are so big they just can't move on from it.

"That will be his downfall. He needs to look in the mirror and take some lessons off real men on how to be one.

"You can't disrespect people think you're it.

"At the end of the day, up until the spitting job, up until the BS, he was doing a great job. Him and Logan Paul.

"But, at the end of the day, Pauls are a different class to him.

"They're not spitting at people. They are having verbal disagreements. That's all part of the game.

"Spitting at people is a reptiles job. That's something the scum of the earth does.

"I am no posh person, I am probably one step off the bottom but I don't spit at people. I don't disrespect people in that way.

"It becomes hatred and no one can do their job properly then."

John also said he only negotiated a fight between Tommy and KSI because of the huge finances that were involved.

"If the money wasn't great, there is no way we would have even considered messing with a man like KSI," he said.

"If a man is jumping up and down, holding every chance he gets, it's not a boxing is it. It's a wrestling affair.

"It's nothing on Tommy. He was nursing a hand injury at the time so he just did what he had to do."

John also denied having a 'heated' discussion with Jake Paul, who has also lost to his son in the past.

"I'm at a loss to know what that heated conversation was," he continued.

"I thought we spoke and had a nice, intelligent conversation.

"So, I don't know where all this c**p is coming from. There was never a heated conversation, nothing like that.

"I thought it went quite well so I don't understand what people are having their 10th pence about because that just wasn't the case. Both sides were very respectful.

"I knew what we want and they know what they want so we just have to meet in the middle somewhere. I'm sure that can be achieved.

"You're going to hear all that second guessing, second hand information and people putting their 10 pence in. It's all clickbait rubbish. We had a meeting and it went very well for our first chat.

"I think the Pauls are doing an excellent job at what they do, but so are we. Don't forget, we are the victors here."
