Blood is drawn after John Fury assaults Oleksandr Usyk camp

Tyson Fury meets Oleksandr Usyk this weekend in what is being considered one of the most highly-anticipated boxing matches in recent history. Despite the fight being just days away, John Fury has managed to steal the headlines once again.

John Fury has a knack for stealing the spotlight, whether that’s with his witty comments or bizarre outbursts. He is no stranger to controversial moments but his recent escapade may land him in deep water.

A video has surfaced showing John Fury viciously headbutting an alleged member of Oleksandr Usyk’s team. The headbutt ultimately caused a cut to open up on Fury’s head.

John Fury has given his immediate views on the brawl. According to the man himself, his actions were strictly in support of his son.

“Well, you know, it’s the fight game. Emotions are running high,” Fury insisted following the altercation. “At the end of the day, I was sat there minding my own business and all I could hear was, ‘Usyk, Usyk, Usyk.’ And I’m going to stand up for my own son.”

“At the end of the day, he’s my son. He’s the best in the world and I want people to respect him and give him the credit he deserves as the champion.”

“He’s the best in the world and when people start saying this and saying that, because when I was in amongst them, all I could hear was badness.”

“At the end of the day, some little idiot came forward–I knew who he was–in my space. He got what he got and that’s the end of it. [It] happens every other week for me that.”

Continuing, John Fury then stated that only Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have the right to talk trash.

“Tyson and Usyk can say what they want to each other, they’re the ones that are going to fight. But I don’t think anybody else has got the authority to call anybody else.”

“If one of my team was to insult Usyk, they’d be sacked because they haven’t got the authority to do that… At the end of the day, I’ve done what I’ve done. I’ve [got] no complaints about anything. I am what I am. I’m going to defend my name with everything I’ve got.”
