Tyson Fury has made his feelings clear on his dad remaining in his camp following a headbutt incident.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will meet in a heavyweight unification fight in Saudi Arabia on Saturday to decide who is the undisputed world champion in the division.

There has not been a unified heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis held the title between November 1999 and April 2000.

The build-up to the huge clash has been chaotic, with the original fight date of February 17 scrapped after Fury sustained a cut above his eye in sparring.

The two camps have traded verbal bards ahead of the re-arranged date, but things came to ahead on Monday when Fury's father, John Fury, headbutted a member of Usyk's entourage on media day in Riyadh.

Usyk was left fuming by the incident, with footage emerging of his saying: "It's bad behaviour... because it's a big man. It's father... It's not a street fight."

Fury himself has now reacted to the incident, but he didn't seem overly bothered by it.

According to DAZN Boxing's Charlie Parsons, Fury said: "I saw some idiot chatting s*** and they got banged. End of. What a way to sell the fight.

"My dad's an excellent salesman and he's done a fantastic job. Half his age and he's nutted him."

Saudi Arabia authorities have made a decision on whether to punish the 59-year-old for his headbutt.

On Tuesday Usyk aimed a few digs at Fury

A rematch clause in the fight agreement means Fury and Usyk will meet again in a rematch regardless of the result on Saturday evening.
