Boxing Megastar Tyson Fury’s Lunatic Father Cracks His Own Face Open In Pre-Fight Scuffle

Blood poured from John Fury’s head in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Monday after Fury, the father of boxing megastar Tyson Fury, headbutted an associate of Oleksandr Usyk, who Tyson is set to fight Thursday, video posted to social media shows.

John Fury was embroiled in a heated back-and-forth with members of Usyk’s camp in what appeared to be a hotel lobby in Riyadh, a video Box Nation TV posted to Twitter shows.  In the clip, Usyk’s camp shouts their champion’s name while John and the rest of the entourage chant “Fury!” in response.

Then, as John Fury appears to be walking away, one member of Usyk’s camp gets up close and personal and Fury headbutts him square in the skull, the video shows.

The others then quickly separate the pair as Fury’s face opens up and starts gushing blood.

“Now do I give a fuck?!?” Fury screams as the blood cascades down his face. “We can’t be beat!” (RELATED: New Rules Just Made Mike Tyson’s Fight A Death Match)

Fury later explained that he was defending his son’s honor and the man he headbutted was invading his personal space.

“He got what he got and that’s the end of it,” he told IFL TV.

This is pretty terrifying. John Fury, a former boxer in his own right, is a six-foot-three-inch Irish gypsy savage (I can say that, I’m Irish.)

Imagine you’re some dude getting ready to fight Tyson Fury, already a daunting task in its own right given that Fury is the reigning world heavyweight champion and has a good six inches in height on Usyk. But then imagine you’re preparing for your fight and one of your crew guys comes back like, “Hey, yeah Fury’s dad just headbutted a 22-year-old kid. Yeah, our corner guy. Didn’t give a fuck. His head started bleeding and everything and he just kept barking at us. Didn’t even wipe the blood from his face.”

That’s some next level pre-fight mind game chicanery right there. It likely wasn’t premeditated at all, considering John Fury is a documented lunatic. But if it was planned, that’s some next level 4D chess from the Fury camp. Get into your opponents head by physically damaging your own. It’s genius.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
