Tyson Fury has promised fireworks after weighing in ahead of his big heavyweight clash with Oleksandr Usyk tomorrow evening.
“I'll take this little spark out,” Fury spat, asking for a tete-à-tête as they faced each other.
Following a soft press conference to close out the beauty of fight week, Fury burst onto the stage with a series of lines: “F**k his belts, I'm coming for his heart. You will find it tomorrow, a spark will come out.”
Camer and humble, Usyk replied, “Don't be afraid, I won't leave you alone tomorrow.”
All of this came after a bit of a weight loss story, where Fury made 262 and Usyk made an impressive 233 ½.
