KSI vs Tommy Fury press conference LIVE: Event descends into chaos as Paul and Danis nearly come to blows

The pair of boxing matches will take place in London in October – but first, a press conference

Tommy Fury's father flips tables over during KSI press conference

The press conference for KSI vs Tommy Fury and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis fell apart amid chaotic scenes on Tuesday, as tables were flipped, cake was thrown, and vulgar insults were traded.

YouTube stars KSI and Paul – who are business partners at the energy-drink company Prime – will fight Fury and Danis respectively in October, with both boxing matches taking place at London’s Wembley Arena.

KSI (real name Olajide Olatunji) last fought in May, seeing his controversial knockout of Joe Fournier overturned for the use of an illegal elbow. Meanwhile, Fury – half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson – beat Paul’s brother Jake on points in February. Logan Paul has mainly been involved in the WWE in recent months, though he has experience boxing, having fought Floyd Mayweather two years ago, while Danis is a former teammate of UFC icon Conor McGregor and is predominantly a jiu-jitsu specialist. He will make his boxing debut when he fights Paul.

And the four figures engaged in a chaotic press conference in London on Tuesday. Re-live updates from the press conference, below.

That was... a lot, as the kids say.

Many boxing fans, who already hate this side of the sport, will have detested those scenes.

Others will have lapped them up.

Either way, these fights are going to draw huge viewing figures.

Boos ring out as it’s announced that Paul and Danis will NOT face off.

That’s the right decision, surely.

We’re still waiting on the Paul vs Danis face-off. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I doubt that will stop them...

Remarkably, they’re going to try to do face-offs in a few moments.

Apparently there’s a “fence” for the Paul vs Danis face-off...
