Tyson Fury tried to hijack the ‘Knockout Chaos’ press conference.
‘The Gypsy King’ was sitting in the front row to watch Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou talk up their Friday night fight in Ridyah, Saudi Arabia.

It all kicked off when Ngannou claimed to be looking forward to claiming ‘another win’ over Fury, who he dropped in his boxing debut last October.
‘The Predator’ ultimately fell to a split decision defeat, but many fans thought he did enough to pull off the biggest upset in boxing history.
“I am really intending to gain a lot of major victories like this,” Ngannou said about his upcoming fight with Joshua.
“One more over Tyson, because I have the first one over him and I’m intending to have the second one. And he’s been b******* about it, which is true.
Fury began shouting from the crowd, but it wasn’t clear what he said.
Ngannou heard him just fine though and responded with trash talk.
He added: “You’re going to sleep in the [ring] again and I’m going to wipe the ring with your a*** again.
“I wiped the ring with your a***, there was blood in the ring.”

Fury, who looked increasingly annoyed by the exchange, continued to shout from his seat before Ngannou let him know how a real fight between them would play out.
“Your only chance is in the boxing ring with the boxing rules,” he said.
“When you step out of the ring you better stay five metres away before I stop your s*** because if I lose it you’re going to have a really bad time, my friend.
“Respect the fact that boxing is protecting your a*** and the rules of boxing are protecting you all. Without that, you are nothing.
“I’d beat you every day, twice on Sunday.”
