Wilder kept his composure well until finally losing his patience and pushing Fury away, with the challenger then replying in kind before security staff quickly waded in.
As the slanging match continued, Fury claimed to have raised Wilder’s profile and stock – only for the American to taunt his rival about his mental health issues.
