When the two fighters had not yet entered the ring, the members of Fury and Usyk’s team turned the heat of the confrontation into an out-of-control clash.
The appeal of the unification match of four world heavyweight titles between Tyson Fury (WBC) and Oleksandr Usyk (WBA, IBF, WBO) is indisputable. And the characters who do not directly swing their fists to determine victory also seem to be caught up in the heat of this competition.
Yesterday, both Team Fury and Usyk arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to complete the final procedures. Immediately, the first collisions took place.
Many videos shared on social networks show that John Fury – Tyson Fury’s father met several Usyk team members who were cheering for the Ukrainian puncher. John Fury then joined the group to compete with his opponent, even headbutting someone from Usyk’s side to the point of bleeding from his forehead.
The collision involved many members of both teams, making it difficult for security staff to calm the situation. Especially when both teams had many cameras accompanying them, it made the story last longer.
In a later video, Tyson Fury stepped out of the elevator and saw his father bleeding, but the British boxer did not participate in the altercation.
John Fury – Tyson Fury’s father was a professional boxer and bare-knuckle boxer. He is famous for his hot temper when encountering his sons’ opponents.
In 2022, John Fury took off his shirt to challenge Jake Paul when the American puncher prepared for a match with Tommy Fury – his second son. In the match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou in October 2023, John Fury also challenged Mike Tyson to put on his gloves on the ring, when the American legend helped Ngannou prepare for the match.
