Watch Tyson Fury's press conference meltdown

Tyson Fury flipped over a table before storming out of an expletive-filled press conference ahead of his July heavyweight clash with Dereck Chisora.

Fury promised to knock Chisora "spark out" when the pair meet at the Phones 4U Arena on July 26. He went on to proclaim himself the greatest living heavyweight boxer, before barging over a table to exit the press conference.

An initial media event on Monday saw Fury hurl abuse at fellow Briton Chisora, calling him "useless", "one-paced" and "a bum".

But today's event was far shorter. Taking a microphone from its stand, Fury said: "All this mumbo-jumbo, great fights and all that - basically, let me tell you straight how it is.

"Listen, I'm Tyson Fury, I'm the best heavyweight on the planet, this idiot is getting knocked spark out and I'm sick to death of this. This motherf****r is going to sleep."

Fury then marched from the room, leaving a calm Chisora to remark:

"What can we say about that? Shall we give him a Golden Globe or not?

"He needs to get a bit of publicity - he needs people to talk about him. But we just laugh."
