Tyson Fury interrupted the school run to send an ominous warning to Anthony Joshua ahead of his fight with Jake Paul.
While picking up his offspring with his wife Paris, the Gypsy King coldly branded his boxing rival a 'classless loser' after seeing footage of AJ threatening to 'kill' his opponent.
Fury, 37, warned he would knock Joshua 'spark out' if he runs into him, in wake of the comments he made about seeing the YouTuber off during their clash in Miami on Friday (19 December).
Joshua and Paul are set to step into the ring later this week, while donning 10oz gloves - and it's now been confirmed that knockouts are on the table.

Two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua has promised to show 'no mercy' in the ring, and recently, he made his plans for the bout even clearer.
The 36-year-old warned Paul: "I’m a very respectful guy brought up by a good family, but if I can kill you, I will kill you. That’s just how I am. And this is just the job I do, so let’s go."
It seems that Fury really isn't a fan of this kind of trash talk, as he took to social media to share a furious response to Joshua.
Take a look at this:
The sportsman and father-of-seven shared a video that he recorded while in the car with Paris and his kids, explaining that he had just saw the video of Joshua making the threat to Paul.
"He’s a little bit long in the tooth to be talking s***e like that," Fury fumed. "He’s 37-years-old, at the end of his career fighting a YouTuber, a Disney Channel guy who Tommy beat.
"And now he’s talking about killing him and all that to try and sell - please. Barking up the wrong tree, idiot.
"Here’s a fun fact, if I ever come across you, bum, I’m knocking you dead spark out. I ain’t a YouTuber or a man half your size, I am him, the man."
Fury then went on to reference Joshua's devastating defeat to Daniel Dubois in September last year, which resulted in him being knocked out in the fifth round by the 28-year-old.
The heavyweight continued: "You’re a classless loser, coming off a 15-month knockout defeat to a local lad. Imagine if someone from Morecambe knocked me out.
"You big bum, useless dosser. And I can’t wait if Jake Paul knocks you spark out, you big bum."
Back in August, Fury said he'd 'put a million pounds on' Paul beating the Brit boxing star - although his dad, Big John and younger brother Tommy both said that Joshua could knock his rival out 'with his d**k'.
Joshua responded to the potential wager during a press conference last month, saying he is 'not worried' about what Fury thinks.
Speaking of Paul, the Olympic gold medallist said: "He's better than Tyson Fury - he's actually sitting here. I take him seriously, I give him the respect he deserves.
"I'm not worried about what Tyson Fury's got to say. It ain't even about the money. I'm betting on myself, I'm focusing on myself.
"I ain't worried about what anyone has got to say. I'm not here for any of that betting or nonsense - I'm here to fight, and that's all it is."
Paul has 12 wins under his belt - seven by knockout - while Joshua has won 28 out of his 32 fights, 25 of which were by KO.
They will face off in eight rounds lasting three minutes each at Florida's Kaseya Center and you catch all of the action live on Netflix.
