Tyson Fury’s father, John, was involved in an altercation with a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s team.
Tyson Fury’s brother, Shane, may have accidentally revealed why John Fury’s altercation with a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s team happened.
Current WBC champion Fury is set to take on the WBA, WBO and IBF king Usyk in one of the biggest fights in boxing history on Saturday night.
Ahead of the bout, the pair, along with their teams, were at a pre-fight event in the Middle East.
The event ended chaotically when Fury’s father, John, was seen bleeding after he had headbutted one of Usyk’s team members.
John shouted: “We can’t be beat! We can’t be beat!
“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***!”
During the aftermath of the event, one of Fury’s brothers, Shane might have accidentally revealed why the incident took place.
He said in a video posted on YouTube: “It’s good for the fight.”
John later apologised for his action whilst speaking to Seconds Out: “Sincere apologies to everybody involved, to be honest with you. It’s just the way we are. Emotions and tensions are running high.
“He was a very disrespectful fella, wasn’t he? Everybody knows, if you come close in a fighting man’s space, you’re gonna cop for something, aren’t you? Or else there’s something wrong. People don’t understand, we’re the real deal as fighters.
“Win, lose or draw, I’ve had a thousand hidings in my life. It doesn’t matter to me; what does matter to me is respect for my son, and he wasn’t showing any of it. Do you know what I’m saying?”
He added: “He mentioned my son, and that was it, so he had to have it. He’s had his fight now, and he’s lost to an old guy! I don’t care, [the bleeding] doesn’t bother me, it’s what we live for. We’re fighting people, that’s a regular occurrence to me.”
