Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury, has been left bloodied after an alleged altercation with a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s team.
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.
Reports from the scene claim that shouts were heard during the media day, with Fury going 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’.

Fury then seems to mimic the chant with his son’s surname, before being pulled away by several security members.
He also reportedly could be heard saying: ‘We ain’t going nowhere, we don’t go nowhere!’
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****.’
Mail Sport then captured the moment Tyson Fury sees his father, coming into the room cheering before realising his father has blood sheeting down his face.
‘What’s happened to your head, you silly ****?!’ the Gypsy King says.
‘How’ve you cut yourself like that?’ he continues, with a hint of a smile, before someone from the crowd takes up the chant of ‘Fury! Fury!’ before Tyson departs.
John Fury then raises his arms to the crowd and shouts: ‘The greatest show on earth has begun, here in Saudi Arabia
