Tyson Fury's father John Fury appeared to headbutt a member of Oleksandr Usyk's entourage as an ugly clash overshadowed the pre-fight media day.
Footage showed John Fury lashing out with his head towards a man wearing Usyk's team tracksuit as the two fighters' teams clashed before Saturday's undisputed world heavyweight title fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.
John Fury was later pictured with blood coming from a head wound after security stepped in to prevent any further confrontation.
"I didn't see anything, I was in the room doing interviews, but I'm not here for all that, I'm here to get the job done and go home and rest," said Tyson Fury when asked about the incident.
Saudi Arabian authorities say no charges are being pressed and no further action will be taken at this stage.
John Fury, speaking to Sky Sports News about the altercation:
"They were disrespecting my son, the best ever heavyweight to wear a pair of boxing gloves.
"Coming out with all that rubbish, in my face, trying to be clever.
"Coming into my space, 'Usyk, Usyk', nobody is bothering with them, I was only chanting my own son's name.
"So they stepped closer and stepped closer and at the end of it I am a warrior, that is what we do.
"If you come in the space, you are going to get what is coming.
"This is not about the fight, we have done everything we can, Tyson is in fine fettle.
"You are going to see on Saturday night the best Tyson ever.
"This is what he comes off. We are fighting people.
"That there is a regular occurence, that is seven nights a week for me that.
"So the last thing they are going to do is get one over on me and my family, it will not happen.
"If you are disrespectful, we don't talk, we don't scream [hits fist into hand], it is a bit of claret."
