Tyson Fury's father was injured after appearing to headbutt a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s entourage as the build-up to Saturday’s undisputed world heavyweight contest got under way in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Videos posted on social media appeared to show John Fury, 59 being restrained as he chants “Fury” and of Usyk's camp chanted their fighter’s name.

He touches heads with one man and then after the two camps are separated by security, Fury Snr then appears to headbutt another.

Fury Snr is later seen with blood running from a cut on his forehead.

The incident took place at a hotel where Monday's media activity was taking place.

Saudi authorities say no charges have been filed over the incident but Usyk's manager Alexander Krassyuk says Fury Snr should apologise.

"I had the impression that one of our guys made the headbutt and hit him with the forehead," Krassyuk told Sky.

"Then I saw the video and it turned out to be a little bit different from my first impression.

“It would be nice if we hear some apologies from John, because this was his behaviour.

"We are the example for the whole world, a new generation of kids are taking us as an example. What will they see from this">
