What caused John Fury to lose his cool?

The press conference encountered a disturbance when Logan Paul unexpectedly unveiled a large birthday cake that depicted Dillon Danis in a knocked-out state. The two had engaged in a verbal exchange prior to John Fury's outburst.

Incensed by the personal attacks on their families and personal lives, the 59-year-old retired boxer rose from his seat in anger. Pleading with those on the stage to shift their focus to discussing the fight, Fury forcefully pushed a table and kicked a chair off the stage:

"Can we stop this sh*t? This is getting me down. Let’s talk some proper boxing and fighting. Forget the bullcr*p, let’s talk seriously now. There’s two men there going to fight, what’s your best plan of action?"

Fury added:

"People have come here today to hear fighting talk. It’s not kindergarten, it’s serious business. Men are going to get put to sleep in a few weeks’ time. Let’s talk about how it’s going to happen. Take the cake and stick it up you’re a***. All these fu*king little kids. I’m a fu*king machine! Can anyone question who I am here?” [h/t TalkSport]
