Tempers boiled over in the pre-fight press conference between Dereck Chisora and Dillian Whyte on Wednesday as a table was thrown following a handful of verbal jibes from both boxers.
A brawl broke out in the press room after Chisora picked up a table and hurled it towards British heavyweight champion Whyte, whom he will face in the ring at Manchester Arena on Saturday.
The incident, which ended with security stepping in to break up the melee, was filmed by Manchester Evening News reporter Sheldan Keay.

The pair, who will now weigh in separately following the unsavoury scenes, will face off on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's title defence against Eric Molina.
The bout between the British fighters will also act as an eliminator for the WBC title.
