by Harry Davies · Irish MirrorTyson Fury 's instant reaction to dad John headbutting a member of Oleksandr Usyk 's team has been captured on camera.
Heavyweight champions Fury and Usyk fight for the undisputed world titles this Saturday in Saudi Arabia. The fight was supposed to take place in February but was pushed back three months after Fury was forced to pull out after being cut in sparring. Tempers boiled over between the two camps as John was left bleeding from his forehead after headbutting a member of Usyk's entourage.
Fury was seemingly oblivious to his dad's scuffle as his face dropped after walking out of a room to see blood leaking from John's head. He said: “What’s happened to your head you silly c***? How have you cut yourself like that?" The heavyweight champion laughed off the incident before John played up to the crowd.
“The greatest show on earth has begun here in Saudi Arabia. Enjoy, this is what it's all about! Enjoyment and entertainment, you're welcome. Fury, Fury, Fury" John said. Security was forced to intervene and keep the two camps apart as John lashed out at Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk.
"We can't be beaten, anywhere we go. We are spartans, let's f****ng go. Yous will get it, I live for this s***. Blood, guts and horror. I live for this s***," John added. Fury's brother Shane was also furious at Usyk's team member for getting in his face despite John being the one who headbutted him.
"Is that not f****ng daft? Stupid b****rd, show some respect. Is that not stupid getting in someone's face you f****ng p****. He's been headbutted and splattered and now he looks like a little boy, the f****ng idiot," Shane said. John then charged towards the same member of team Usyk that he headbutted, but was stopped in his tracks by security.
Fury is expected to make just under £80million for the undisputed fight whilst Usyk will make around £40million. The Brit won a controversial decision in his last fight against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou and is hoping to put on a better showing this weekend in the most important bout of his career.
