Tommy Fury could demand an unusual contract clause for his fight against Darren Till that was used for Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor.
Fury, who hasn't fought since his controversial win over KSI last year, is set to return to the ring against Till in Manchester on January 18.
A launch press conference took place on Tuesday to promote the Misfits Boxing clash, with 'Big' John Fury stealing the show after launching a water bottle at his son's opponent.
It followed the former UFC welterweight title challenger threatening to kick Fury in the face.
"At the end of the day, I can’t beat you, I’ll just kick you in the face in there," he said during the pre-fight presser via The Mirror. "How about that? I’m a proper fighter, not a boxer. I don’t walk in a room like this and see boxing and go, 'sh*t'.

"I walk in, no one here is a threat to me. Not one person in this room, security, you, your dad are not a threat to me.
"I’m an MMA fighter, so if I want to kick you or elbow you in the face, I will, and no one can do anything about it."
Speaking on DAZN's broadcast, along with promoter Kalle Sauerland, Till doubled down as he insisted he would use MMA moves should he be down on the scorecards.

Such a threat could see Team Fury insert a clause in the contract that would see Till have to hand over his entire purse if he attempted a head-kick during their boxing bout.
It hasn't been suggested but the potential contract clause could be explored based on Till's comments.
Mayweather included a similar clause in his contract when he fought McGregor in their money-spinning Las Vegas showdown back in August 2017.
Before Mayweather vs. McGregor, Dana White revealed the huge fine the UFC star would've had to pay if he resorted to using MMA moves.

"There is a huge penalty clause in the contract," White told Yahoo Sports.
"The athletic commission would keep the entire purse and decide what to do."
White added: "The civil lawsuit that Floyd Mayweather would have on Conor McGregor would ruin him."
