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 will face 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.
But just a day after Usyk’s arrival in Saudi Arabia – where the fight takes place on Saturday – an alleged get-together has taken place between Fury Snr and a member of the Ukrainian team.
Reports on the scene claim screams were heard during the media day, which saw Fury take on someone from Usyk’s team, before the Gypsy King’s father was left with blood on his face after allegedly trying to headbutt someone else.
A clip shows Fury taking on another individual as Usyk’s company sings “Usyk, Usyk.”

Mail Sport also caught Tyson on camera seeing his father, who entered the room cheering before realizing his father had blood running down his face.
“What happened to your head, you stupid ****?!” says the gypsy king.
“How did you cut yourself like that?” he continues, with a hint of a smile, before someone from the crowd starts the chant of “Fury!” lifts! Fury!’ before Tyson leaves.
John Fury then raises his arms to the crowd and shouts: ‘The greatest show in the world has begun, right here in Saudi Arabia.
