The Gypsy King claims he didn’t see the incident, but has channelled his inner Jamie Vardy to back up his dad after the unbelievable clash.

Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he said: “Listen, I wasn’t there. I was doing interviews all day so I did get to see it all, but I just saw what everybody else saw.

“I saw some idiot chatting s*** and he got banged. End of.

“What a way to sell the fight. This is show business. We’re not a political room of educated men, we’re fighters and fighters teams.

“What a way to sell the fight. My dad is an excellent salesman and he’s done a fantastic job. So big up John Fury.

“In the world of the UK we say ‘chat s***, get banged’. He’s half of his age and he’s nutted him. GET UP!”

Leciester City striker Jamie Vardy became synonymous with the phrase “chat s***, get banged” during the Foxes title winning campaign of 2015/16.

Tyson Fury also uploaded an Instagram post sharing photos from his training in the Middle East with a caption that seemed to back his dad after the confrontation yesterday.
