“I sincerely apologize to all participants. We are who we are. Emotions and tension are running high. He was a very disrespectful guy. If you get close to the fighter’s area, you’ll get something for it. Respect for my son is important to me, and he showed none of that. He mentioned my son, so he should have gotten it for that.”
“I’m not worried about my bleeding. This is what we live for, we fight people. This is a common occurrence for me,” said John Fury.
Let us remind you that the teams of two boxers collided in a narrow corridor. John Fury headbutted Representative Usyk, causing the Briton to bleed on his forehead.

The event will be hosted by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The WBC proposes to reform the judges for the reporting fight, increasing their number to 5-6 people. Penalties for boxers who refuse to fight are $10 million.
WBC President Mauricio Suleiman announced that an agreement had been concluded between the boxers for a re-fight. The WBO is also ready to sanction the second fight. It was reported that the fate of a possible rematch depends on the holding of the first fight. Fury said there was a mandatory rematch clause in the contract. Subsequently, it became known that the second meeting in the ring between the Ukrainian and the British is scheduled for October 12-13.
