Naoyuki Oi gave another bizarre interview at the World Cup of Pool following on from his antics at the World Pool Masters.

Oi, who made waves across the globe in February with his hilarious post-match interview with Sky Sports presenter Tony Wrighton at the World Pool Masters, was at it again on Wednesday after assisting his partner Hijikata Hayato to a comfortable 7-2 first round victory over Thailand.

Presenter Nick Bright was at the receiving end this time after he asked Oi if he was very happy with the result. The Japanese No 1 pulled out a rubber ear from his pocket, and replied: "Pardon? I'm happy, today I feel very lucky. I love you London. Thank you.

"Today, very tired. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Today I'm only lucky."

Japan were semi-finalists at this event in 2015 and will hope to one better this time around at the tournament in Bethnal Green.

In the night's other matches, Philippines beat Qatar 7-4 while England B whitewashed Indonesia 7-0.
