Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder clash backstage ahead of fight with insults thrown
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder were filmed clashing backstage before their pre-fight weigh-in on Friday as tensions rise before their trilogy bout on Saturday.
A series of expletives and insults were traded between the fighters and their entourages, with Wilder's team repeatedly targeting Fury's mother.
Fury could be seen directly saying "f*** you" to Wilder while also sticking both of his middle fingers up at the Bronze Bomber as they crossed paths back stage in Las Vegas.
Wilder snapped back at the Gypsy King by saying: "F*** your momma. F*** your momma." before other members of their teams got involved.
Fury's brother Shane took exception to the "yo momma" jibes and went at it with a member of Wilder's team and branding Wilder's crew a "classless piece of rubbish."
Shane could be seen shouting: “You with the b****es haircut. F*** you. I’ll tell you what a fat boy will do to you, rip you to pieces you p*****.”
The member of Wilder's team he had targeted snapped back and threatened to "smack the f***" out of Shane, who is filling the boots of the absent John Fury this weekend.
The Team Wilder member said "I'll beat yo ass, boy," to which Shane responded: “You’re a dwarf, walk on, tough guy. Just walk on.”

The Wilder team member took particular exception to this and went on a rant at Shane, exclaiming: “H** ass boy, you ain’t gonna do s***.
“I’ll smack the f*** out you boy. You a h**. Your momma a h** too boy.
“Your brother ain’t gonna get up tomorrow. Your brother ain’t gonna get up tomorrow.
“And then you next. And then you next.”
It has been a tense build up to the third meeting in less than three years between Fury and Wilder with tempers also flaring during a press conference earlier this week.
Having drawn their first fight in December 2018, Fury then won via a seventh round technical knockout in their first rematch in February last year.
However, Wilder accused Fury of cheating his way to victory on that night and is convinced his opponent has again bent the rules ahead of this weekend's bout.
He told 78SPORTSTV: “You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time?
“Oh they’re thinking, they’re coming up with a master plan.
“But my thing to him – man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under.
“You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out.”
Meanwhile, Fury has mocked Wilder for his repeated excuses in a post on social media that stated: "No excuses… but: Costume was too heavy. Fury's gloves were loaded.
"I had weak legs. My water was spiked. Fury's gloves had no padding. Had bicep surgery.
"I was a zombie. Disloyal trainer. Complications in camp."
