Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder press conference brawl: Who has the psychological edge now?

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder's final press conference descended into a farce with both fighters forced apart in a heated exchange.

The two fighters clashed on stage in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, shouting at each other before their furious entourages threatened to lose control.

At one point, Manchester-born Fury even ripped his shirt off and yelled at Wilder as security intervened, with Wilder continuing to shout at the Gypsy King.

As ever, social media is divided over who's got the upper hand ahead of Saturday's WBC heavyweight title fight at the Staples Center.

Half of Twitter thinks Fury won the psychological battle, while the other half believes Wilder is odds-on to win.

We take a look at how Twitter reacted to the press conference and what people have been saying about it.
