John Fury, father of the renowned heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has once again found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Footage has surfaced showing John being knocked out twice, contradicting his bold claims of invincibility. This revelation comes amid his controversial headbutt incident involving a member of Oleksandr Usyk's team earlier this week.

The Headbutt Incident: A Warrior's Justification

In the lead-up to the much-anticipated clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title in Saudi Arabia, John Fury's actions have overshadowed the event. John, aged 59, headbutted Stanislav Stepchuk, a member of Usyk's team, leading to a melee where he repeatedly shouted, "We can't be beat!"

"I'm a warrior, that's what we do," John Fury later justified his actions. "They disrespected my son, the best heavyweight to ever wear a pair of boxing gloves."

A Look Back: John Fury's Boxing Career

John Fury's career in the ring, both as a professional boxer and a bare-knuckle fighter, spanned eight years and 13 bouts. Debuting in 1987, he faced a rocky start with a loss to rugby league player Adam Fogerty. However, he bounced back with six consecutive wins before a draw with David Hopkins in 1989.

Despite notable victories against future title challengers Michael Murray and Cesare Di Benedetto, John's career took a downturn. A third-round KO by future WBO champion Henry Akinwande led to a four-year hiatus. His return in 1995 was short-lived, ending with a brutal fourth-round KO by Steve Garber in Manchester.

Fan Reactions: Mixed Responses

The resurfacing footage of John Fury's knockouts has sparked a wave of reactions from fans. One commented, "Explains why he picks on the little guys now!!" Another remarked, "In John's memory he won these fights."

"I thought a warrior got back up," a third fan noted, while another added, "Best thing I’ve ever seen on the Internet."

The Fury Legacy: Unbeaten Sons

While John's professional record is marred by these knockouts, his sons Tyson and Tommy Fury remain unbeaten, continuing the family's boxing legacy. Tyson Fury, known as the Gypsy King, is set to face Usyk in what promises to be a historic bout.

"We're fighting people, you come in the space, you're gonna get what's coming," John Fury warned.

The Usyk Threat: A Calm Before the Storm?

In response to the headbutt incident, Oleksandr Usyk has issued a stern warning, hinting at a 'secret army' prepared to retaliate against any further assaults. Yet, Tyson Fury appeared unfazed, making a grand entrance at the Grand Arrivals event with a new style that left fans comparing him to Boy George and WWE legend The Undertaker.

As the boxing world eagerly awaits the showdown in Saudi Arabia, the drama surrounding John Fury adds an unexpected twist to the narrative. Will Tyson Fury's performance in the ring overshadow his father's controversial antics, or will the headbutt incident continue to steal headlines?
