go head-to-head on Saturday in a heavyweight bout in Riyadh, with the winner set to be crowned the first undisputed champion in the four-belt era and arguably the greatest heavyweight fighter of a generation., despite the 37-year-old coming in at a career-heavy 16st . There was a major error when revealing Usyk’s weight, however, with officials having incorrectly announced at the weigh-in as 16st 6lb.

"Fury might have to change his game plan during the fight. Two great tacticians, two great ring IQs in there, but really difficult to overcome Usyk mentally. "In there on the night, I remember Tony Bellew saying that he just exhausts you with his pressure and his feet, the way you're always thinking 'what's he going to do next?'"
