TYSON FURY has stood up for his dad, John, after he attacked a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s camp.
Fury Sr was left covered in blood after he headbutted Stanislav Stepchuk – a member of Usyk’s team – in Saudi Arabia.
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 yesterday.

Here are just some of John Fury's most astonishing moments:
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 ended in a more calm manner than expected when John was calmed down by Usyk’s manager Alexander Krassyuk.
The pair were also seen shaking hands and hugging it out following the altercation too.
Tyson said he didn’t see the incident first hand, but praised his dad for helping promote the fight in a rant to The Stomping Ground.
Fury has been training hard before this Saturday’s undisputed bout and shared some picture of his efforts in the Instagram post.
One snap showed Fury in the ring alongside his entire team while another had him posing in the mirror looking at his transformed physique.
