Tyson Fury spotted on CRUTCHES moments before John Fury headbutt as doubts raised over Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has been spotted on crutches moments before his father, John, headbutted a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s team.

On Saturday, Fury is set to take on Usyk in one of the most anticipated fights in the history of the sport.

The fight was originally due to take place on February 17 but Fury was forced to withdraw from the bout after sustaining a cut above his eye during sparring.

On Monday, during an event ahead of the bout, Fury’s father, John, was left bleeding after an alleged altercation with one of Usyk’s team.

After the altercation, John was heard shouting: “We can't be beat! We can't be beat!

“I live for this f***ing s***! I live for blood, guts and horror! Blood guts and horror! I live for this s***, my boy lives for this s***!”

Now, footage has emerged before the altercation, with Fury spotted walking with crutches, which will no doubt spark doubts over his fitness with the fight just days away.

Back in February, after the fight was postponed, Fury said: "I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this fight for so long and being in such superb condition. I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed.

"I can only apologise to everyone affected including my own team, Team Usyk, the undercard fighters, partners, and fans as well as our hosts and my friends in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
