If there wasn't enough drama surrouding the heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, Fury's father, John, added to it with a headbutt on a Usyk camp member Saturday.
Just days before Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk enter the ring for the heavyweight title, an altercation led Fury’s father, John, to headbutt a member of Usyk’s team at a media event. The altercation took place on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the elder Fury was standing head-to-head with the member of Usyk’s team when he headbutted him before being separated.
Fury has since apologized for his actions. 'Sincere apologies to everybody involved,' he said, per Seconds Out Boxing. 'It’s just the way we are. Emotions and tensions are running high. He was a very disrespectful fella. If you come close in a fighting man’s space, you’re gonna cop for something. Fury said the member of Usyk’s team wasn’t showing respect to his son.
