Conor McGregor Unwilling to Let Go Off John Fury’s Violent Act as Oleksandr Usyk Reacts to Bloodied Incident

The world of combat sports went into shock after Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury, attacked one of Oleksandr Usyk’s teammates, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Without a doubt, action followed right before the stage was ready for the boxers to trade blows in the squared ring. But with Fury Sr. assaulting a young entourage for Usyk, the entire fighting community went into chaos, even pulling reactions from stars like Conor McGregor.

After laughing it off on Instagram by reacting with an emoji, ‘The Notorious’ once again struck social media with a slick comment. But what did the Irish mixed martial artist have to say now? Well, he’s yet to move on from his laughing fits.

Conor McGregor is not ready to move on from John Fury’s headbutt

Previously, McGregor reacted to the incident with just a single laughing emoji. However, he is yet to recover from the laughing fit. The fighter took to his Instagram Stories and shared a reel that showed John Fury headbutting the young Stanislav Stepchuk, followed by the Ukrainian team’s reaction. McGregor put three laughing emojis on the story and then wrote, “nah we not moving on from this.”

McGregor wasn’t the only one who had his attention caught by the incident. Chael Sonnen also expressed his thoughts, doubting the authenticity of Fury Sr.’s injury. He pointed out that the big man had three different cuts on his head with a single headbutt.

Following the headbutt, the video showed the boxer’s father announcing that they would never be beaten and that they were Spartans. He had blood trickling down his head that he later dismissed as nothing serious, claiming he had seen worse. However, Usyk’s team was not happy at all. 

In the later part of the video, Usyk revealed his thoughts on the altercation. The Ukrainian mixed martial artist claimed that it was nothing but bad behavior. He said, “It’s bad behavior. Because he’s big man. He’s fighter. He’s not street fighter.” Nevertheless, no charges were pressed against the 59-year-old dad. But Team Usyk demanded an apology from the big man.

John Fury sends forth an apology

Initially, the Ukrainian team believed that the child must be the one at fault. However, upon close inspection of the video footage, they concluded that it was Fury Sr. who struck the match first. Without a doubt, Usyk’s team began the demand for a public apology. 

Following the bloodied fiasco, Fury Sr. had no option but to publicly apologize to Usyk’s team. He sent out an apology claiming that it was just the way he was, with emotions always at their peak. Furthermore, Fury disclosed that the young entourage was quite disrespectful, which was the reason behind the headbutt. He declared that respect for his son was what mattered to him the most. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian kid failed to show any respect. When he mentioned Tyson Fury’s name, the boxer’s father couldn’t control his temper any longer.
