Tyson Fury launched a tirade of abuse towards Oleksandr Usyk and pushed his head into the Ukrainian at their face-off before the two were separated by security in London.
Briton Fury, 35, takes on Ukraine's Usyk in Riyadh on 17 February - the winner will be crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era.
Usyk, 36, is the WBA, WBO and IBF champion with Fury holding the WBC belt.
"You are all dossers. He's going to get knocked out. And you two are going to work for me slinging my bags," Fury told Usyk and his promoter, Alexander Krassyuk and manager, Egis Klimas.
"Sausage, ugly little man, rabbit," Fury continued at Thursday's news conference, aiming more expletives at his fellow champion.
A composed Usyk remained undeterred and reluctant to engage in a war of words.
"Enough? My friend. Have you stopped? Enough? Have you stopped talking?," he asked.

Shalom
The bloke is a complete wanker.
I hope Usyk beats him up bad (assuming it ever happens, I'm still not convinced).
I'll have some of that action as well.
Do you have Ukrainian blood in your veins Snubbles?

Wilder and Joshua are both fighting in Saudi Arabia this weekend and I'm not sure anyone really gives a shit.
The game was in Jeddah, so they could just as likely be in Dubai, on the way home or a hundred other places, you thick [at][at][at][at].
wtf does the Saudi League have to do with where Man City players and other staff are?
Your, as always confident, statement that they flew for over two more hours east to Bahrain seems unlikely to me.
And now you're wittering about the Saudi league?
If you couldn't understand post 3484, no wonder you failed as a teacher.
I managed to watch the early fights, all of which were a complete mismatch.
The Joshua one was shit but the sound went off early on so we didn't have to listen to a commentator trying to put lipstick on a pig.
And Wilder, well.... give it up, son.
The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth

Boxing, in general, is dying a slow death. YouTubers, and and MMA fighters crossing over, have turned the sport into a farce.
Brutal, great performance from AJ.
The UFC guy was saying that he wouldn't even feel AJ's punches... That was a long sleep...
Fury really should call it a day.
