Tyson Fury‘s father, John Fury, has been left bloodied after an alleged altercation with a member of Oleksandr Usyk‘s team.
What Happened?
Fury and Usyk square off on Saturday night in one of the most highly-anticipated fights of the 21st century, with the winner becoming the first man since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to hold all four heavyweight titles.
Yet just a day after Usyk’s arrival in Saudi Arabia – where the fight is being staged on Saturday – there has been an alleged coming together between Fury Snr and a member of the Ukrainian’s team.
It was a heated few minutes in a corridor and room on Monday’s media day ahead of the fight, with Fury continuing to shout in the direction of the Usyk camp.
Fury went head-to-head with someone from Usyk’s team, before the Gypsy King’s father was left with blood on his face after allegedly attempting to head-butt another person.
A clip shows Fury squaring up to another individual, with Usyk’s party chanting ‘Usyk, Usyk’.
About the Melee
A scuffle ensues with several bodies in the room pushing and shoving, while Fury paces angrily before crying: ‘We can’t be beat! We can’t be beat!’ and then tries to charge the Usyk camp before being restrained.
He also could be heard saying: ‘We ain’t going nowhere, we don’t go nowhere!’
Fury later squares up to another member of the team chanting Usyk’s name in his face, before leaning in with his head and head-butting them.
Tyson’s brother Shane was reportedly also left incensed, shouting: ‘Is that not f***ing daft? Stupid b****rd, show some respect. Is that not stupid getting in someone’s face you f***ing p****.’
Fury Snr walks away from the melee and then turns and shouts: ‘I live for this f***ing s***! I live for blood, guts and horror! Blood guts and horror! I live for this s***, my boy lives for this s***!’
