Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk battle it out again on Saturday.
The heavyweights collided in an enthralling contest last May with the Ukrainian having his hand raised after winning via a split-decision verdict.
In round nine, Usyk sent ‘The Gypsy King’ stumbling all over the ring with many believing he was fortunate that the referee didn’t stop the contest.
To his credit he recovered well and managed to take the fight to the scorecards, but ultimately fell short in his bid to become the undisputed champion.
Today’s press conference was a pretty tame affair until the fighters were brought together for a customary face-off, which lasted an extraordinary 11 minutes.
