On Tommy's new BBC doc - The Good, The Bad, The Fury - the father and son duo clashed.
John insisted a festive family reunion with his two-year-old daughter would interfere with Tommy's mindset ahead of the fight.
In scenes aired on episode two, John said: "The thing we don't want is distractions. People coming. We don't want it.
"Because when you're here and you're talking to people you're not resting. You want to be training eat, drink, sleep, train, repeat.
"It's six weeks of hell but you've got another four to six weeks to go and to do the other stuff, haven't you?
"All that's out there is the pub, alcohol, s*** food and s*** company."
Tommy replied: "That's all I ever do anyway. I don't do nothing else my whole life. Train."
John said: "I don't know, Tom. You do enjoy yourself, don't you?,"
"Not really..." Tommy replied.
John said: "If you can't sacrifice six weeks of your time without your children, all that s*** in the world outside. What we doing here?"
Tommy was not happy with the decision and said 20 minutes with his daughter on Christmas Day would not change his boxing mentality.
The former Love Island star said: "I can't see, on Christmas Day, me picking the baby, me saying 'Merry Christmas', I can't see that going to lead me to win a fight or not.
"You're not doing that this time," but John demanded.
Tommy replied: "But you've got to be happy."
John insisted that sacrifices needed to be made in order to win big.
Tommy continued: "Yeah, but you just got to go and hug the baby for five minutes. There's no harm in that."
His dad hit back "You go back, you have your Christmas, you hold the baby, all of a sudden you get an L on your record for that day.
"You will never look at them in the same light again, family or not family because you'll resent them."
Tommy said: "20 minutes out of my day on Christmas," to which John added: "The greats don't do it."
Speaking to the camera, Tommy explained why his father had such a staunch view on the matter, saying: "My dad doesn't understand the modern world.
"And obviously he's just an old school fella and the way the world is today, you know, even I find it hard to live in the world sometimes today, with the amount of bull**** that's going on."
Earlier today The Sun revealed the real reason for Molly-Mae's absence from Tommy's BBC show premiere has been revealed.
The social media influencer was missing from the launch of his brand new reality TV series which raised eyebrows despite the pair being back together and claiming to be at "they're happiest".
Molly also failed to mark the event on social media and shared no posts to support Tommy and his show.
MISSING MOLLY
But The Sun understands that Molly skipped the event as she was keen to not "overshadow" the launch of Tommy's programme and let him have his own time in the spotlight following their up and down 12 months.
A source told The Sun: "Molly is keen to keep a low profile at the moment.
"She is obviously back with Tommy but it's his night and doesn't want to overshadow it.
"It's been a funny time for Molly - she's very thick skinned but she's had a lot to deal with and isn't used to backlash."
A representative for Molly told The Sun that she was "away working" and very busy which caused her to miss the event.
Current social media snaps show Molly enjoying a sunny break away with her best pal, Tayla-Blue.
The best friend duo could be seen enjoying a relaxing evening by the beach with their children yesterday evening in snaps shared to Tayla's social media feed.
One photo showed Molly and her daughter Bambi attempting to take a splash in the sea.
Whilst other snaps showed Bambi looking stylish on the beach.
For Tommy, he was joined by his parents in Manchester for a screening of BBC show The Good. The Bad. The Fury, which sees him rehash details of their recent split, as well as make a series of shock revelations about it.
In the show, he made the shock revelation that he was downing "20 shots a night" and drinking to get "blackout drunk" ahead of their split last year.
He said: "The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol."
He added: "I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone.
"My right hand was messed up, I was in dire pain, it's just what happens over years of impact on the hand.
"I had lost my entire identity, lost my life."
