Chaos Erupts as Tyson Fury’s Father Head-Butts Usyk’s Entourage Member

by | May 14, 2024

Tyson Fury’s father, John, found himself in the midst of chaos at a luxurious hotel in Riyadh on Monday afternoon. As tensions escalated ahead of Tyson Fury’s upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed world heavyweight championship, John Fury head-butted a member of Usyk’s entourage.

The incident occurred after sustained chanting of Usyk’s name by the Ukrainian contingent, leading to heated exchanges between Fury Sr and a young Ukrainian, Stanislav Stepchuk. The altercation ended with Fury Sr left bloodied from a gash across his forehead, while Stepchuk appeared to sustain only a minor cut.

Tyson Fury, upon hearing about the incident, initially laughed it off, stating that he was busy with interviews and focused solely on the upcoming fight. He downplayed the altercation, saying, “I’ve definitely seen worse than a cut on the head,” indicating his readiness to move past the incident.

However, Fury expressed genuine sadness upon learning about the death of Sherif Lawal, a British boxer who passed away after his professional debut. Reflecting on the inherent dangers of boxing, Fury acknowledged the risks involved but remained resolute in his commitment to the sport.

In response to Anthony Joshua’s presence in Riyadh, Fury dismissed its significance, emphasizing that any potential future bout between them would have to wait until after his two-fight deal with Usyk concludes.

Despite the chaotic altercation involving his father, Tyson Fury remained focused on his upcoming fight, determined to fulfill his obligations and secure victory in the ring.
