Well, that couldn't have been more eventful.
The fact that these press conferences keep ending in such fashion will naturally arouse suspicion, but the atmosphere here certainly changed when Wilder accidentally seemed to poke Fury while waving his arms around, and Shane hobbled his way onto the stage.
Wilder lost his cool. Shane certainly lost his cool. And Fury seemed to have a good old laugh before deciding to rip his shirt off and get stuck in.
That little fracas will almost certainly be more exciting than the fight itself, by the way.
Here's a clip of Tyson whipping his expensive shirt off, if you're into that kind of thing.
A reminder that both men will come face to face once more before their fight on Saturday.
That will be at the weigh-ins, which take place on Friday.
