Jeff Fenech abused female bar boss at Sony Foundation Wharf4Ward fundraiser and taunted bouncers Fighter turned trainer Jeff Fenech shouts at a female boss of a Sydney bar then challenged bouncers to throw him out. Former world champion boxer Jeff Fenech. FORMER world champion boxer Jeff Fenech screamed expletives at the female licensee of Sydney's Tilbury Hotel, before challenging bouncers to throw him out in an ugly charity after-party clash yesterday. The sporting celebrity has apologised for his pub meltdown, after attending Sony Foundation's annual Wharf4Ward fundraiser on Woolloomooloo's Finger Wharf. Things hit a wrong note when security staff asked Fenech and his entourage to present the official lanyards given to guests to act as entry to the private function. Fenech was not wearing the laminated pass when he tried to rejoin his group, including wife Suzee, after he stepped outside to take photographs with fans. Another guest and Sony staff tried to calm Fenech and arranged with Tilbury licensee Emma Madden to source the appropriate accreditation before his party were welcomed back inside. But an enraged and embarrassed Fenech continued his complaints in the downstairs bar, standing an inch away from Madden's face as he swore at her and several security staff. Stills from the video footage taken of Jeff Fenech at the Tilbury Hotel in Sydney. Urged to go back upstairs to where he had been celebrating earlier, he then used the staircase as a platform to intimidate and hurl more abuse at the bouncers, taunting them to throw him out and take him on. In video footage of the ugly incident (see above), Fenech is heard challenging the security staff to "throw me out ... I want to see how tough you guys are. He is ordered to move on by a hotel staffer, but glares at Madden as he finally walks away. A Sony representative then rushed to apologise to the woman, who stood her ground during the confrontation - marring what was otherwise a joyous occasion, raising an event record of $700,000 for charity. Fenech told News Corp Australia he was "not in the best mood" this week after he says he was "robbed" of $460,000 when a boxing promotion he invested in fell through. Fenech had fronted up $350,000 paid to US boxer Shane Mosley to lure him to Australia for a bout against controversial fighter Anthony Mundine and organised by Vlad Warton. The match was cancelled when Mosley fled the country, taking part of his advanced fight purse with him. Fenech said he had spent more than an hour outside China Doll restaurant during the Sony event on his mobile phone "trying to get my money back so I wasn't in the best of moods." He did not realise he needed an entry pass to the after-party around the corner at the Tilbury, but claims he'd spent two hours in the pub before being asked to prove his identification by Madden and her security staff. When I'm someone's guest and I'm told I've got to leave if I don't have the right pass, that's pretty embarrassing. I was being a nice guy and taking photos with fans who had been at the lunch ... if I didn't do that someone would say I'm a stuck up pig. He conceded his aggressive response was "not okay ... I should have just sent someone up to get my wife and just left. He said "I questioned if she (Madden) had a brain to say `who are you? If security didn't think I was right to be there, why did they let me up and down the stairs half a dozen times? This time when I did, someone tried to stop me and I said I've been here for two hours. Was I supposed to be happy about that? Denying he was intoxicated, he said "I have a little bit of class not to go to something I wasn't invited to" later adding "if I offended her I apologise." I don't want to be treated like I am anybody but I wasn't told I needed a tag. The Tilbury Hotel in Sydney, where the stoush occurred.
