Tyson Fury's father John was seen with blood gushing from his forehead on May 13, after a video appeared to show him butting a member of Oleksandr Usyk's camp in the build-up to the highly anticipated undisputed world heavyweight clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 18.
The incident took place at the hotel hosting the pre-fight media day and was quickly broken up by security.
Footage shared on X seemed to show John Fury go eyeball-to-eyeball with a man wearing an Usyk team tracksuit before lashing out at him with his head.
The 59-year-old was later seen with a cut forehead and two streams of blood pouring down his face, either side of his nose. Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, he said: "They were disrespecting my son, the best ever heavyweight to wear a pair of boxing gloves.
"Coming out with all that rubbish, in my face, trying to be clever.
Coming into my space, 'Usyk, Usyk, nobody is bothering with them, I was only chanting my own son's name.
