Tyson Fury's dad gouged out a man's eye after 12 year feud over beer
ok.co.ukTyson and Tommy Fury’s dad once gouged out a man’s eye after a 12 year feud over a bottle of beer. John Fury, 59, also a former professional heavyweight boxer, was sentenced to 11 years in jail in February 2011 for the “cold-blooded” attack at a car auction.
He was eventually released in February 2015 – four years into the jail term – and later said: “He's lost an eye and I've lost five years of my life.” John was back in the news this week after flipping over a table during a press conference with Tommy, who is set to come out of boxing retirement to fight YouTuber KSI.
KSI, who will face Tommy in Manchester on Saturday, 14 October, was heard mocking the Furys during the media event. His business partner Logan Paul – who will be fighting Dillon Danis the same night – was also heard criticising the family before John kicked off.
John rose from his chair and cut off Logan mid speech, shouting, "The Furys are the best fighters in the world". He then knocked over microphones and flipped his table before kicking over KSI's table as well.
