‘F*** him. F*** his team too’: Fury explodes in expletive-laden rant ahead of heavyweight epic

Tyson Fury shoved and swore at Oleksandr Usyk at the weigh-in on Friday as the build-up to their historic undisputed heavyweight clash exploded into life.

“We’re ready to rock and roll, so fireworks tomorrow night. I’m going to knock this little f***er spark out,” raged the 35-year-old Brit, drawing cheers from the crowd. Ukraine’s Usyk, when asked what he had said to Fury, replied: “Don’t be afraid, I won’t leave you tomorrow.”On Saturday, the two undefeated fighters will contest the first undisputed heavyweight clash since 1999, looking to walk away with all four major belts.

But both fighters were taciturn during the final press conference on Thursday, with Fury promising to pray for Usyk and the Ukrainian scribbling down a poem.
