BT Sport forced to APOLOGISE after Tommy Fury’s dad John made sick comments about Jake Paul’s girlfriend live on air
BT SPORT have issued a formal apology for broadcasting John Fury’s X-rated comments about Jake Paul’s girlfriend during a heated press conference.
A fired-up John claimed son Tommy would ‘bend’ Julia Rose over and ‘do her like a dog’ as he raged at The Problem Child, who was virtually in attendance.
The astonishing rant stunned those in attendance and fans watching around the world, so much so BT felt the need to apologise for airing the offensive remarks.
A statement read: “This week BT Sport streamed a live boxing press conference that included a number of offensive and unacceptable comments, some of which has led to further online abuse.
“This goes against all the values that BT Sport wants to uphold.
“We would like to apologise for any offence or upset this has caused.”
Sons Tommy and Tyson appeared to be embarrassed by their dad’s shocking rant and a number of other comments he made.
Moments before the presser concluded, Gypsy King Tyson laughed and said: “Security, take the mic off John.”

He then asked the host: “Can we wrap up then? Before my dad gets himself in a world of trouble.”
John laughed off his son’s comment, saying: “You should not be ashamed. My middle name’s trouble.”
Former Love Islander Tommy, 22, is just weeks away from locking horns with YouTuber Paul.
The social media stars will clash in a Tampa tussle on December 18, which John believes will be a walk in the park for his son.
The 57-year-old told talkSPORT: “We can’t lose this, it’s impossible that Jake Paul can beat this man.
“All it is is we’re just enjoying because we’re very lucky to be in the situation before Christmas.
“And it’s just gonna make for the greatest Christmas for the Furys that we’ve probably ever had.
“Because we’ve just come off a good win with Deontay Wilder, we’re flying high. This is just icing on the cake.
“It’s an hors d’oeuvre come after the main course, we know that.
