Tyson Fury reacts to Vladimir Putin comparison as Laura Woods apologises for live rant

After Oleksandr Usyk was likened to Vladimir Putin, Tyson Fury retaliated against his team.

Following “The Gypsy King’s” first career loss to the Ukrainian in May, Fury and Usyk will square off again on December 21 in Saudi Arabia.

This week, the two resumed their verbal sparring match, with Fury attacking his opponent, his manager Egis Klimas, and his promoter Alexander Krassyuk.

Usyk responded calmly, but Klimas retaliated on Fury, saying the British player “sounds like Putin.”

The former WBC heavyweight champion is locked away in fight camp but took a night off on Saturday to attend the Nick Ball vs Ronny Rios fight in Liverpool, with his cousin Walter Fury fighting on the undercard.

Speaking to Queensberry Promotions during the broadcast, Fury acknowledged Klimas’ comments and repeated his Tupac-inspired dig at his rival and his team.

‘I know his team are a little bit upset, they’ve even compared me to Vladimir Putin today. I’m not sure why,’ Fury said. ‘But I’ve been listening to Tupac so Egis, f**k you, f**k your team, f**k Usyk, f**k Alex [Krassyuk] and if you’re down with Usyk well f**k you too.’

Elsewhere during TNT Sports’ live coverage of Saturday’s boxing, Laura Woods was forced to apologise to viewers after Fury called Uysk a ‘motherf****r’ on live TV.

After watching his cousin Walter pick up the win in front of his delighted family members, Fury was invited from ringside to join Woods, Steve Bunce and former world champion Anthony Crolla on stage to discuss December’s fight.

‘I’ve always been a bad man my whole life and I’m still one today at nearly 40 years old. Few years off 40, but still, I like to say that, it sounds more,’ Fury said.

‘However, I’m going to go in there with destroy mode. Last time I went to box him and I was being cautious.

‘I was boxing the head right off him, let’s talk facts. Anyone can get caught as we’ve seen in a lot of these heavyweight fights. But this time I’m not going for a points decision. I’m going to knock a motherf***r out. I’m not even sure if you can say that on TNT.’

Woods swiftly swooped in with the presenter apologising to viewers.

‘It might be past the watershed, but I probably do have to apologise for a couple of people watching if you’re offended by that. It is Tyson Fury though, so you might get a bit of that anyway.’

Fury then urged anyone who didn’t like his language to ‘change the channel’. ‘I will apologise for my behaviour. If you don’t like it, change the channel!’
