Fury on Father's Conflict: «It’s Show Business»

WBC heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) reacted to the conflict involving his father, John Fury, and a member of the team of WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).

«I saw some idiot talking a bunch of crap, and he got hit. That’s all there is to it. What a great way to sell a fight. This is show business. This isn’t a place for educated people; these are fighter teams doing what fighters do.

My father is a great promoter; he did a fantastic job. Twice his age, and he gave him (Stanislav Stepchuk, - ed.) a blow to the head,» said Fury.

To recap, John Fury hit the head of Stanislav Stepchuk but ended up getting a cut himself.

The bout for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
