WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk reacted to the scuffle between John Fury, father of WBC world champion Tyson Fury, and his team.
Recall, Fury senior yelled at Usik's representatives, and then headbutted one of them before the sides were forced to separate.
In an interview with YouTube channel The Stomping Ground Usyk said:
For me it doesn't matter. My focus is on the fight. Bad behavior from the Fury team and the Fury father. It's a problem only for the Fury team.
Recall that Usyk and Fury will fight for the title of undisputed world champion in the heavyweight division in the main event of the evening of boxing, which will be held on May 18 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
Fury last fought against Francis Ngannou in October 2023. In that fight, Tyson won by split decision. He has 34 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no losses.
Usyk last entered the ring against Daniel Dubois in August 2023. This fight lasted the entire distance and ended in favor of Oleksandr by knockout in the ninth round. He has 21 wins (14 by knockout) on his record without a single loss.
