“That’s just grim,” Fans remain in a ‘fury’ against KSI

John Fury is one name that has constantly sparked controversies with context to the upcoming fight. Months ahead, when their maiden press conference was held, he got all riled up looking at Dillon Danis and Logan Paul bickering at each other. His public meltdown dominated the news for days that followed. Now that the fighters have arrived at the venue for the final leg of their training camps, he did something that raised eyebrows. However, it did not keep ‘JJ’ from retaliating.

At an open workout session, the senior Fury member hurled a bottle at JJ, that nudged the latter to spit at him. As visuals of this incident hit the internet, fans could not contain their aggression against KSI.

One fan thought KSI spitting at John Fury was justified, given it was the latter that started it all.

Another user came heavily at the rapper-turned-boxer. They thought that the incident wasn’t even funny.

Another user echoed the sentiment. They believed that spitting at someone was the highest sense of disrespect, and KSI had done just that.

A user also suggested that ‘The Nightmare’ should fight both the father and son, as the former becomes the only one defending himself against the wrath of the duo.

Given John Fury’s history with public meltdowns at press conferences, a user said they were anticipating some serious drama at the upcoming press events.
