Yesterday backstage at Tyson Fury and Usyk's press conference, there was some clash between the Fury team and Usyk's team. Fury's father, John, hit his head with Usyk team member Stepchuk, as a result of which John Fury was injured in the forehead. Fury was being interviewed by the media at the time, and he didn't see it. Interestingly, Fury was originally very happy after being interviewed by the media, singing and dancing as he walked, but when he walked backstage and found out that his father was injured, Fury was very shocked because he didn't know what happened to his father.
In fact, Fury's father later gave his own explanation for this conflict in an interview with the media. He said that Stepchuk, a member of Usyk's team, was a very unreasonable guy because he didn't show any respect when he talked about his son Fury. That's why he chose to hit his head against the other party, and then there was this conflict. Although John Fury was very unhappy with Usyk's team member, he still had a lot of respect for Usyk. John Fury said I respect Usyk, he never said a bad word about Fury, he is a great champion, he is probably the second best heavyweight fighter in the world.
Since Tyson Fury didn't know anything about this conflict, when he saw his father's bloody face, he was surprised and asked What's wrong with your head? You stupid guy. However, John Fury was not angry about his son's performance, but shouted Fury's name with the team members, which shows that John Fury still loves his son very much, after all, he hit his opponent with his head, and it was also because the other party did not respect Fury. It is worth mentioning that Usyk broke the news that his mother was very angry about John Fury's performance. She said I'd kill him if that guy hit you again.
In fact, for John Fury's performance, old fans know that it is just a performance. Because before a major boxing match, both sides are bound to be very aggressive. To take a very classic example, in the pre-fight press conference between Connor and Mayweather, the two of them will attack each other in various ways, but in fact, this is all about creating excitement for the fight and creating headlines for the media, so fans can just have fun and don't take it too seriously. And for this conflict, Usyk himself admitted that it was just a show. Everything is for the heavyweight unification battle on May 18, I believe that with this conflict of John Fury, this heavyweight unification battle will gain more attention and sell more PPV sales.
