Tyson Furys father John was seen with blood gushing from his forehead on Monday after a video seemed to show him butting a member of Oleksandr Usyks camp in the build-up to Saturdays undisputed world heavyweight clash in Riyadh.

The incident took place at the hotel hosting Mondays pre-fight media day and was quickly broken up by security.

Footage shared on X appeared 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, John Fury 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 sons name.

So they stepped closer and stepped closer and at the end of it I am a warrior, that is what we do.

If you come in the space, you are going to get what is coming.

His son, Tyson Fury, was not present when the incident occurred.

I didnt see anything, I was in the room doing interviews, but Im not here for all that, Im here to get the job done and go home and rest, said the World Boxing Council heavyweight titleholder.

Saudi authorities said that no charges have been filed regarding the incident at present. (AFP)
