Tommy Fury elected to ignore his dad's advice in order to secure the fight with rival Jake Paul at any cost.
Fury has held extensive talks to meet long-term foe Paul in the ring next month, with the pair agreeing a deal to touch gloves on February 26. The pair have been set to meet on two previous occasions, but the British star has been forced to pull out on both occasions after first breaking his rib, before being banned from travelling to the US for their scheduled contest last August.
And although a deal has now been struck, Fury was advised by his dad to walk away from the negotiating table after taking issue with his son being treated as the B-side by Paul's team. However Fury's dad John has admitted his son pleaded that he continue talks with his rival's entourage to prevent the fight collapsing again.
