No sure what was said, if anything

He doesn't even look angry! I've shared it on FB and have had twenty comments from friends. Five saying they want to go! Job done, Tyson.

He was definitely acting there. Not sure they can really make this a huge grudge match as I think both have respect for each other and there seems no genuine animosity.

He pushes the table over really delicate, like a little lift. I'd have been impressed if he'd smashed it in 2 with his elbow.

I don't think RADA will be offering him a scholarship any time soon but it was probably enough to lure a few gormless oiks into buying tickets.

Chisora and Fury seem like quite similar people.

They're more likely to be friends than enemies.

tickets dont seem to be doing to well (even with it only being half the hall) they are saying the £40 tickets have gone but that was literally the last 4 rows of the blocks down the one end thats all!

Then we get this, me being cynical?

The truth is; no one is that enamoured by a Fury-Chisora rematch. It's a bit of a damp squib and disaster. I'd be surprised if the promoter can afford their purses. I bet this gets called off

Pathetic effort and shite acting - well done Tyson your now even more of a goon than I thought could be humanly possible.

Was all a bit forced today. He looks like he can't be bothered and takes ages to turn it over and walks away laughing. No animosity or anything and Chisora just claps him. Francis Warren still manages to look like a bit of a buffoon

It's all hype to sell the fight.

And it already has. Matchroom don't need any of this because of the priceless coverage SKY give them.

I'd rather Chisora and Fury fought other world level opponents, but it's still two top ten world level fighters taking each other on and I hope it sells well.

Considering this was supposed to be a stadium fight, it would be pretty tragic if this is struggling.
Has Eddie's Wembley event completely overshadowed this?

It's struggling by the unprecedented standards of Froch-Groves 2. It will do ok. Don't forget, pre Sky, shows hardly ever completely sold out and never on the day. This fight has been advertised to a tiny audience. He's got to hope Tyson goes mad again, put Buglioni, Gavin and Keane in meaningful fights and throw in Brad Saunders and Stalker and you add around 5,000 alone.

This will sell fine, allegedly will put his newspaper column into overdrive to get this over to the casual fan.

Just watched it.

If somebody had told me "Fury has lost his rag, called Chisora a motherfxxker", knocked over the table and marched out of the press conference" I would have rushed straight to youtube to see it.

Now I have, it is a bit embarrassing really. If I were linked to the promoter, I would say remove that footage online and have another go - with more passion - at the next press conference. That clip might do more harm than good.

Innit.

I have never heard someone say the word "Motherfucker" with such utter boredom.

Well I thought it was great !

Especially when he gingerly steps over it and heads off.

Well - It is trending on Twitter ... so it has most certainly done the job in raising the profile of this fight.

Fury has now taken on the role of the heel and people will pay to see him knocked out.

Good work all around!

What is worse for press attention, Fury pushing the table over or Bellew slagging off Cleverly after his fight?

Both embarrassing

Yeah, very embarrassing. If they're going to go down this route they should just give Fury WWE-style scripted lines and at least try and make it somewhat clever/humourous.

I think all those involved with the fight are probably very surprised and disappointed by the lack of interest shown so far by the media & general public, so are doing whatever they can to create a bit of a buzz.

It's a shame there isn't more interest being shown, personally I'm really looking forward to it, Chisora & Fury both have much more to lose this time out & both seem more focussed which should see for a better fight than the 1st one.

Brillant got too love Tyson Fury, hilarious

Shannon Briggs' recent flip out was much better.
