KSI and Tommy Fury's highly-anticipated fight is said to have been 'almost cancelled' after a dispute erupted over the location of the weigh-in.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to face off against Mancunian Fury at the AO Arena on Saturday night but concerns were raised over Friday's weigh-in, which reportedly took place in a bathroom.

John Fury, father of Tommy, threatened to call off proceedings if it was not moved to a different position.

In a video uploaded to Misfits Boxing YouTube channel, Fury's latest outburst was captured for all to see.

As reported by talkSPORT, Fury threatened to call off the fight if the scales for the weigh-in were not moved to a different location.

"You can't weigh on that f***ing thing, it's on the carpet. What the f*** is going on here?," said Fury.

John then further continued: "Listen pal, I'm not trying to shout, I'm just telling you.

"We'll call the thing off then. We'll call the f***ing thing off then. F*** him. We'll call the f***ing thing off then."

He wasn't finished yet though, adding: "Weigh on a hard a surface, not a carpet.

"It's bulls***. You're in the bentest sport in the world, mate. Forget it."

Even Tommy agreed the whole organisation needed a rethink, adding: "Come on, a hard surface. You know that."
