And ahead of the bout the two boxers took to the stage for a press conference alongside Fury snr and Mike Tyson, who has helped Ngannou train for the contest.
It did not take long for John to take centre stage as he backed his son to continue his unbeaten record against MMA star Ngannou.
John, 59, then took it a step further by challenging former heavyweight world champion Tyson to a fight – declaring he fears no man in the world.
At one point he had to be held back by security again – having been pushed away after trying to interrupt Tyson Fury’s face-off with Ngannou.
After initially praising the two fighters for their achievements, he said: “You know what, give me a special mention.
“The man who bred him, John Fury, fears no man on Earth. No matter what they’ve done, no matter what the accolades.
“Here I am! Any man alive want to fight John Fury I’m here and ready to go, Mike Tyson what have you got to say to that my brother?”
Iron Mike laughed off the suggestion but John would not back down, and instead became more animated as Tyson teased his man Ngannou would be the new heavyweight champion of the world.

John reacted saying: “Let me tell you my brother, the world is going to see what happens to your man.
“Your man will get his head boxed off and stopped at will my pal, don’t you worry about that. And if I’m wrong you and me will fight right after.”
“Yeah, all day baby!” replied Tyson enthusiastically, as John continued: “Me and you will fight no matter the result.”
