Drama as Fury and Usyk weigh in for Saturday's undisputed heavyweight world title fight live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Tyson Fury shoved Oleksandr Usyk back in their final confrontation ahead of Saturday's undisputed world heavyweight championship clash, live on Sky Sports Box Office, before confusion reigned over the Ukrainian's weight. After a dramatic weigh-in on Friday night in Riyadh, Usyk's promoter has confirmed to Sky Sports that the Ukrainian's weight was announced incorrectly at the centrepiece event.

This bout is all the more significant as, at long last, it will decide the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt ruler and the first sole heavyweight king since Lennox Lewis held that status 25 years ago. Lewis, as well as great heavyweight champions Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes and Wladimir Klitschko were all in attendance just for this way. Fury's fame though already extends across the world.
