Tyson Fury was left shocked on Monday after seeing his father left with a bleeding cut after a confrontation with Oleksandr Usyk's team at the first press conference of fight week.
Footage circulating on social media picks out John Fury getting into a heated argument with Usyk's team inside a Riyadh hotel lobby. The 59-year-old proceeds to headbutt one of Usyk's entourage and square up to another as onlookers chanted the Ukrainian's name.
Upon seeing the state his father was in after the confrontation, the Wythenshawe boxer asked: "How did you cut yourself like that?" As he attempted to make sense of what had happened. Fury had been conducting interviews elsewhere at the time of the incident.

The scenes in Saudi Arabia have kickstarted what will be a frantic week ahead of Saturday night's huge heavyweight bout in the Middle East. Not since Lennox Lewis in 2000 has the world heavyweight division been unified.
The fight between Usyk and Fury has been eagerly anticipated for many months. Originally, the pair were due to face off on February 17 but that clash was postponed at short notice after Fury sustained a cut above his eye during his training camp which forced him to pull out.
However, there are currently no such fears that this fight will be cancelled as both undefeated fighters attempt to create history. Ahead of the fight, the Manchester-born boxer has leaned down so as to counteract the speed of his opponent.
Whoever is victorious on Saturday shall take home the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.
