John Fury branded a "bully" over Carl Frampton confrontation

Caoimhin Agyarko has branded the father of Tyson and Tommy Fury a "bully" over his confrontation with Carl Frampton.

John Fury confronted Frampton over comments the Belfast boxer made about his son Tommy's bout with Jake Paul.

Belfast boxer Caoimhin Agyarko took to Twitter after the confrontation to tweet: "John's nothing but a bully."

Fury was due to face Paul last December but the former Love Island star pulled out with a broken rib and chest infection.

Speaking back in November, Frampton told talkSPORT: “To be honest, I don’t really know much about them.

“I’ve seen Jake Paul, little highlights of him. I’ve seen Tommy Fury, I was actually working for BT for one of his fights as a pundit. I think that if you put a gun to my head, I think I fancy Jake Paul in that fight, if I’m being honest."

Frampton was confronted by Tommy's father John Fury at Tuesday's press conference for his other son Tyson's fight against Dillian Whyte.

"You think Jake Paul's a boxer?" he asked, to which Frampton replied, "I don't think he's a boxer."

Fury: "Then why do you think he can beat Tommy? Answer the question, because you disappointed me. I supported you and I looked up to you"

Frampton: "I'm just trying to be honest."

Fury: "Honest?! Honest?! Saying a YouTuber could beat a Fury? Are you p*****?"

Frampton: "I'm trying to be honest; I'm not p*****."

Fury finished by saying: "I don't want to talk to you. I'm turning my back on you, I don't want to talk to you. Get your facts right or get off the job."
