The undisputed clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is fast approaching.
The winner will be crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 and the first in the four belt era.
Yesterday both, ‘The Gypsy King and Usyk made their grand arrivals for the huge showdown in Saudi Arabia.
The WBC heavyweight champion looks a lot leaner than he did we he took on Francis Ngannou in his last outing in what was a subpar performance from the Brit.
And Oleksandr Usyk was asked about his appearance as he made his way to the stage and commented that he was ‘skinny’.

Tyson Fury was in confident mood ahead of their historic fight on Saturday night.
He said: “It feels absolutely fantastic to be in the great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I’m feeling fantastic. I can’t wait to put a good show on. There’s so many people coming. It’s such an event. All the big stars are here. It’s going to be epic. I can’t wait for Saturday night.”
“If I was fighting an old dosser on Saturday night who had five fights and lost them all, it would be very important to me. Every fight I’ve ever had is important to me. Every little fight along the way was important to me. I believe that every left and right turn I’ve ever taken in my life, every time I’ve fallen over, and every time I’ve climbed up was all leading to this moment. It’s destiny.”
“I predict that somebody’s ‘0’ has got to go. And it’s going to be that team over there, unfortunately for them. Oleksandr Usyk is a great fighter. Olympic gold medalist, cruiserweight world champion, heavyweight world champion. But, unfortunately for him, he has to come against the great Tyson Fury in the era of me. I’m really looking forward to Saturday night.”
“Even if he had 20 million people screaming his name, they cannot fight for him on the night. And when there’s two men in there on the night, it’s going to be very daunting when he has the undertaker in the ring with him.”
