The Gypsy King claims he didn’t see the incident, but has channelled his inner Jamie Vardy to back up his dad after the unbelievable clash.
Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he said: “Listen, I wasn’t there. I was doing interviews all day so I did get to see it all, but I just saw what everybody else saw.
“I saw some idiot chatting s*** and he got banged. End of.
“What a way to sell the fight. This is show business. We’re not a political room of educated men, we’re fighters and fighters teams.
“What a way to sell the fight. My dad is an excellent salesman and he’s done a fantastic job. So big up John Fury.
“In the world of the UK we say ‘chat s***, get banged’. He’s half of his age and he’s nutted him. GET UP!”
Leciester City striker Jamie Vardy became synonymous with the phrase “chat s***, get banged” during the Foxes title winning campaign of 2015/16.
Tyson Fury also uploaded an Instagram post sharing photos from his training in the Middle East with a caption that seemed to back his dad after the confrontation.

John Fury’s maddest moments
Here are just some of John Fury’s most astonishing moments:
In 2011, John was found guilty of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm for gouging a man’s eye out in a brawl in 2010. He received an 11-year sentence but was released in 2015.
In November 2021, John made a vile sexual remark to Jake Paul about his girlfriend Julia Rose
Last year, John flipped a table and sparked chaos at his son Tommy Fury’s press conference ahead of his fight with KSI
During the same build-up, John tried to punch and headbutt a glass wall to get to KSI
In October 2023, ahead of Tyson’s fight with Francis Ngannou, he called out heavyweight legend Mike Tyson
In January this year, John revealed he spent Christmas in the middle of the woods while eating rabbit stew
It read: “Family Matters – SPARTANS”, hinting at the bizarre outburst that his dad had come out with during the fracas.
While getting in the face of Usyk’s team, John had shouted: “We live for blood and guts. We can’t be beat. We are Spartans. We are Spartans. We are Spartans.”
The shock incident thankfully did not escalate as John was calmed down by Usyk’s manager Alexander Krassyuk.
The pair were also seen shaking hands and hugging it out following the altercation.
Tyson has been training hard before this Saturday’s undisputed bout and shared some picture of his efforts in the Instagram post.
