Amir Khan's pre-fight press conference with Phil Lo Greco had to be stopped earlier today after a tussle between the two boxers broke out. The presser was drawn to a halt after the Canadian launched a personal attack on Khan’s private life.

The pair went blow for blow on insulting each other right from the off, but the smack talking almost spilled over into a full-on brawl when the Canadian made comments about Khan's wife and family. Eddie Hearn had to come between the pair to stop them from landing punches before the fight happens later this year.

Helping defuse the situation with Eddie Hearn were the fight's undercard pairing – Sean Dodd and Tommy Coyle – who were dressed as Batman and Superman. Of course.

You couldn’t make it up! ?

The clash took place in the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool ahead of Khan's much-hyped return to boxing at the Echo Arena, Liverpool, on April 21.
